Understory eddy covariance helps partition forest CO2 exchange among its components. Results using refined data processing from a Tyrolean mountain forest are presented.
Long-term trends in mountain forest spring vegetation exposed to acidification and drought
Here, we present results from long-term surveys of springs in the Frankonian Forest and Fichtel Mountains, highlighting their importance as an integrative monitoring system for environmental changes.
Seed germination and seedling establishment in Alpine conifers following a prescribed fire
Fire and post-fire conditions affected seed germination and seedling establishment. Stone pine exhibited greater resistance while Norway spruce and European larch showed reduced seedling establishment
Urbanization, verticality, and networks in mountain cities
This study examines how planetary urbanization redefines the categories of “wild,” “rural,” and “urban” in mountainous regions, exploring rural-urban interconnections across altitudinal gradients.
Developing a sustainability certification scheme for a green and good governance of outdoor sport events
The Green Trail Concept (GTC) project is an ERASMUS+ initiative that enhances trail running event management through sustainable practices, addressing environmental, social, and economic impacts.
An overview of climate-growth response of multiple tree species from Nepal Himalaya
Climate change is impacting growth and their climate sensitivity of diverse tree species in Central Himalaya region. Favorable Spring Season climate is very crucial for growth of trees.
Ten years of participatory approaches in a climate mitigation project in the Gaurishankar Conservation Area, Nepal – lessons learned
BOKU University led participatory climate mitigation project in Nepal’s Gaurishankar Conservation Area demonstrate how science can contribute to increasing forest resilience and improving lilelihoods.
Root Structure and Symbioses in Soils of Contrasting Alpine Habitats
Root structures and their symbioses vary with alpine habitat.
Zoogeomorphology within an anthropogeomorphic landscape in the mountains of the American West
Contour terracing in the American West influences zoogeomorphology, providing a unique opportunity to evaluate the nexus of human and animal geomorphology in mountain environments.
Optimization of protected areas on the Tibetan plateau under climate change
Conservation efforts are facing climate risks. This study identifies conservation gaps and proposes adjustments to improve resilience and integrity of ecosystems.
