Our research explores the effects of the declining mountain cryosphere on the biogeochemical and physical processes within headwater streams in the Intermountain West of the United States.
Effects of Climate Change on Himalayan Vegetation
Permanent alpine plots in the eastern Himalayan region show a marked increase in plant species richness over the last decade, but this increase may mask threats to vulnerable endemic species.
Recreational use and conservation: Assessing the effectiveness of trail restoration in Patagonian alpine ecosystems
Trail restoration at Frey Hut in Patagonia successfully reduced visitor impact on alpine meadows, demonstrating how strategic trail management can contribute to balance conservation and recreation.
Analysing vegetation development in the Central European Alps in context with climate and land-use change
High alpine ecosystems are strongly affected by climate, land-use, as well as geomorphology, lithology, and soil.
Knowledge management and science-policy dialog for effective mountain governance: the experience of the Andean Mountain Initiative
The Andean Mountain Initiative, as a regional political platform, is integrating knowlege managment and science-policy dialog to promote informed decision making and policy formulation
Monitoring biodiversity in Spanish mountain areas
The citizen science project “Adopt a Plant” led by the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology (CSIC), aims to maintain a collaborative system where participants monitor plant population’s dynamics and threats.
Enhancing the Effectiveness of Protected Areas through Spatial Prioritization
This research explores how spatial prioritization with the metric climate change velocity can strengthen the resilience of protected areas, ensuring they effectively conserve biodiversity
