This study assesses the advantages of automatic weather stations in the mountainous regions. It evaluates the applications of weather data on sectors that are climate-sensitive.
Climate, not land-use, drives a recent acceleration of larch expansion at the forest-grassland ecotone in the southern French alps
This study investigates treeline shifts in the southern French Alps, showing how climate change accelerates tree establishment, reinforcing a dynamic initially triggered by historical land-use changes
Thermophilization and ecosystem colonization sensitivity on mountain summits in Filefjell, Norway
Vegetation resampling of 12 Filefjell mountain summits in Norway documents clear thermophilization over the last 14 years and differences in colonization sensitivity among alpine ecosystem types.
Third Pole Archives: Dendroclimatic Potential of Unexplored High-Altitude Alpine Flora in a Changing Climate
This study investigates high-altitude shrubs from the Third Pole–Himalaya, emphasizing their dendroclimatic potential and insights into climate change impacts on sensitive mountain ecosystems.
Aphid Infestations in High-Altitude Himalayan Flora: Wood Anatomical Signatures and Climate Change Impacts
This study analyzes wood anatomy of high-altitude Himalayan flora, documenting aphid infestations up to 3,400 m a.s.l. and identifying shrub age as the key factor influencing severity.
Knowledge co-production: promoting the future of Andean post-glacial socio-ecosystems
Nature-based Solutions (NbS), rooted in ancestral knowledge, offer promising strategies for developing sustainable uses of proglacial landscapes, tailored to local socio-ecosystems.
Fungi in pine forest regeneration at the upper tree line under the climate change
To better understand the diversity, composition and possible roles, communities of fungi associated with Pinus heldreichii and P. peuce were studied in high-altitude forest sites in Montenegro.
Grassland bud and shoot demographic responses to single and recurrent droughts vary across an aridity gradient
Responses of bud and shoot demographic to single and recurrent droughts across four grasslands along an aridity gradient
Understanding climate change impacts and adaptation through Cultural Keystone Places: Inuit Knowledge and repeat photography in Nunatsiavut
This talk will present findings from both Inuit Knowledge and photo pair analysis, revealing the long-term impacts of socio-ecological change and their implications for climate adaptation planning.
Snow-driven microclimate variability and climate change impacts in alpine and polar regions
Snow significantly influences microclimates in alpine and polar regions, affecting local rates of climate warming and introducing uncertainty in future biodiversity and productivity predictions.
