A mountain area analysis of UNESCO Biosphere Reserves based on available mountain classifications can support biodiversity monitoring and planning and foster collaboration with mountain-based networks
The overlooked link between different resource partitioning strategies and plant species richness differences in tropical alpine ecosystems
Species coexistence relies on resource partitioning, shaping biodiversity across climates, latitudes, and altitudes and affects differences in species richness
Understanding Anthropogenic and environmental drivers of tree species diversity for improved biodiversity outcomes in Nepal’s community forests
Understanding spatial pattern of tree diversity for enhanced managment of forest biodiversity
Taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic distributions across elevational gradients in temperate Andes
Bird diversity declines with elevation but increases in structurally heterogeneous habitats. Taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity are strongly correlated, highlighting the need for multi-
Genomic biomonitoring of high mountain lakes in the Pyrenees
PyriSentinel project studies microbial diversity in high-mountain Pyrenean lakes using advanced DNA sequencing biomonitoring with microbial communities in extreme environments.
Springs Above the Tree-line (SAT): An international collaborative scientific network to foster high-elevation springs as the last frontier of spring ecosystem conservation
SAT project studies high-elevation springs,analysing hydrochemistry, diatoms, and vegetation, with sampling across Europe, North America, and Himalaya for long-term ecological monitoring and research.
Mountain bird communities in the temperate andes: risk and resilience
Mountain birds increase habitat specialization at higher elevations in temperate Andes. Alpine birds showed the highest climate vulnerability and lowest functional resilience, relying on rock cavities
Patterns of vegetation development and species composition in glacier forefields of the Northern Limestone Alps
Four glacier forefields in the Northern Limestone Alps were equipped with a monitoring platform, using the chronosequence approach to study vegetation development and composition.
Where the forest recedes: Land use changes in mountain areas and their impacts on the livelihoods of Indigenous communities.
Preserving natural forests is vital not only for sustaining livelihoods of Indigenous peoples but also for maintaining environmental sustainability and safeguarding Indigenous knowledge and culture
Essential Variables for the rEmote characterisation and monitoRing of mountain EcosystemS along a biogeographical gradienT: from data to decision making (EVEREST).
EVEREST project brings together scientists and managers in the co-design, co-production, and validation of methodological framework to provide remote-sensing essential biodiversity variables.
