The IPBES Transformative Change Assessment provides a useful a compass for transformative research towards Living Well in mountains
Fundamental elements of a mountain cities development strategy. Case study: Vatra Dornei municipality
Development strategy aims to study and regulate the management processes of a territory and also to evaluate the evolutionary dynamics. It is considered a functional tool for analyzing and evaluating
Management needs arising from glacier loss
Latest modelling results point out that about 1/3 of the glacier area will be lost in Stubai and Ötztal Alps during the next five years. How could we monitor this transition as basis for management?
Combing normative scenarios and exploratory conservation policies for delineating robust Alpine protected areas
Planning conservation areas based on current biodiversity and ecosystem services is ineffective due to global change. Normative and explorative scenarios allow delineating robust areas to changes.
The international GLORIA monitoring network on biodiversity and climate change: Lessons learned in collecting and analysing alpine plant diversity data around the world
Plant biodiversity monitoring in alpine summit areas around the world and its data compilation for the first global synthesis will be presented.
High mountain lakes in the face of global change: long-term ecological research to address existing and emerging threats
High mountain lakes are vulnerable to environmental stressors, such as the deposition of pollutants and climate change. Long-term ecological monitoring is fundamental to assess these impacts
Four decades of soil temperatures to map microhabitats across the European Alps
To understand alpine warming as the organisms have experienced it, we mechanistically modelled microclimate for the European Alps across four decades, and identified thermally distinct microhabitats.
Applying Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to restore mountain biodiversity and ecosystems in Africa
My abstract show how africa reverse the degradation trends by using Nature based Solutions to restore mountain ecosystems
Aquatic Biodiversity and the Transformation of Mountain Waterscapes
Patterns of aquatic biodiversity in mountain ecosystems, examples of changes to alpine waterscapes, and potential consequences for the species and biodiversity of these habitats.
A drier maternal environment increases the water stress tolerance of alpine seeds and seedlings
A drier maternal environment affects seed morphological traits and increased seed and seedling tolerance to water stress.
