Here we present the first global study of mountain plant community trait patterns with primary data collected from over 1000 species using a standardized protocol (MIREN).
Flora Raetica – Citizen Science project capturing changes in plant distributions in Graubünden
Distribution and occurrence of plant species have changed due to changes in land-use and climate. We present a citizen science project for a new “Flora Raetica” capturing such distribution shifts.
Interdisciplinary Approaches for Conservation of Taxus species in the Western Himalaya
This study integrates molecular and phytochemical analyses to resolve taxonomic ambiguities of the Taxus spp. in the species-rich Western Himalaya, enhancing conservation and Taxol-related research.
100 priority questions to feed the global mountain biodiversity research agenda
By applying a collaborative research prioritization method, we developed a list of 100 priority questions in comparative global mountain biodiversity research.
Stories, experiences and videos to raise awareness in mountain areas
Our project aims to explore the use of a video in a research protocol to test the raising of public awareness of other species living in mid-mountain areas.

Ecohydrogeological characterization of spring ecosystems to inform the selection of strategic zones / main aquifer types to support conservation and long-term monitoring.
Co-developing and implementing sectoral Climate Change Adaptation tools at District scale in South Tyrol
Our contribution provides a transdisciplinary methodology for co-developing sectoral CCA tools at district level in the Pusterial Valley, South Tyrol
Long-term monitoring of plant-animal interactions and wildlife camera by-catch within a global montane climate-change experiment in the northern Maloti-Drakensberg, South Africa.
Technological advancements have allowed for the long-term monitoring of plant-animal interactions and meteorological events in a relatively unexplored region of the Maloti-Drakensberg, South Africa.
Towards the harmonization of transnational in-situ data and monitoring schemes in the Alps: Insights from the AlpsLife Project
Alpine biodiversity faces growing threats, and fragmented monitoring impacts conservation efforts. AlpsLife unifies data and indicators to enhance the protection and restoration of mountain ecosystems
Stakeholder perception of the management of species-rich grasslands in mountain areas.
Mountain grasslands face biodiversity loss. The G4B project surveys stakeholders to guide conservation policies, revealing consensus on public funding but differing views on ecosystem services
