The research explores spatial strategies for Alpine transitions, proposing hubs in Valtellina to foster innovation, reduce disparities, and enhance sustainability within the EUSALP framework.
Societal ecosystem interactions across East African mountains: Past, present and future
Mountains are crucial for supporting life, this interaction has changed through the past ad will evolve in the future.
Shaping a New Research Agenda for Mountain Futures
Mountain social ecological systems are increasingly facing many future challenges. We present a global research framework, embedded within local knowledge, to address these challenges
Exploring Bedload Fluxes in Alpine Rivers: Application of the D-CASCADE Model in the Sulden Catchment
We apply the D-CASCADE model to an Alpine river to reconstruct and predict bedload fluxes and sediment connectivity at the network-scale, critical for hazard mitigation and sustainable management.
Drought, Resilience and Conflict in the Pre-Columbian Andes of Capricorn (1000-1500 CE)
This study explores how droughts influenced economic vulnerability, resilience, and social conflicts in the Andes of Capricorn (1000-1500 CE), highlighting regional differences before Inca integration
Landscape geomorphological sensitivity: The paraglacial response of Alpine basins to rapid warming
The paraglacial response of Alpine basins to rapid warming controls sediment export. DoDs from historical photogrammetry were compared to hydropower records to understand processes supplying sediment.
Communication Design in Trekking: Practical Study and Analysis of Media in the Region of Galicia
This study analyses the impact of communication design on trekking, through a practical approach in Galicia, evaluating different mediums and their effectiveness on the user experience.
Dispersal limitation and competition explain lags in plant elevational range shifts
Even in mountains where dispersal distances are very small, range shift lags can still be caused by dispersal limitation.
Forest-line dynamics in the French Northern Alps since 1860: a substantial upward shift, recently limited by human activities?
By comparing historical and current land-use maps, we showed the forest line rose by 166 m between 1951 and 1995, before its recent limitation by contemporary pastoral and tourism pressures.
Microclimate Matters: Soil Temperature and Plant Community Dynamics in High-Mountain Ecosystems
The study shows how soil microclimate (snow cover duration and growing degree days), influences alpine plant community dynamics, revealing key patterns of biodiversity change in high-mountains
