Mountain tourism has evolved significantly, with increased crowding of Alpine huts. How this shift impacts the management of various type of alpine huts, especially concerning food waste.
Assessment of the elevation-dependent climate change in the Extended European Alpine Region over 1961-2020 based on the EEAR-Clim dataset
Assessment of the elevation-dependent climate change for key-climate variables in the Extended European Alpine Region over 1961-2020 based on the EEAR-Clim dataset
Mapping of Landscape Changes in Hohe Tauern National Park using the CC-HABITALP Method
This project addresses the gap in studying landscape changes in alpine habitats by using the CC-HABITALP method to identify key ecological processes in Hohe Tauern National Park in Austria.
Towards automated vision-based monitoring of insects in high temporal resolution – a pilot project in the Swiss Alps.
We present a novel method using automatic insect cameras to monitor abundance, biomass, and taxonomic composition of insects and their temporal dynamics along elevational gradients in the Swiss Alps.
Hohe Tauern National Park: A Model for Conservation and Long-Term Ecological Research in the Austrian Alps
Hohe Tauern National Park, a key LTER-Austria site, advances long-term ecological research and monitoring while collaborating on the development of a joint LTSER platform in the Austrian Alps.
Challenges of Linear Assumptions in Remote Sensing Indices
Linear assumptions in remote sensing indices cause misinterpretations in averaging, scaling, and trend estimation, particularly in complex environments. We assess their challenges and implications.
The Hindu Kush Himalaya Assessment as a Process to Introduce Transdisciplinary Approaches for Transformative Changes
Hindu Kush Himalayan region is under great environmental threat. HKH Assessment needs to be repeated 2nd time to strengthen science and consolidate policy for transformative change.
Glacier and permafrost hazard management in the Italian Alps
The contribution illustrates the approach developed by DPC and CNR-IRPI to inform assessment and management of glacier and permafrost risk in the Italian Alps, following the 2022 Marmolada disaster.
High mountain lakes in the face of global change: long-term ecological research to address existing and emerging threats
High mountain lakes are vulnerable to environmental stressors, such as the deposition of pollutants and climate change. Long-term ecological monitoring is fundamental to assess these impacts
Soil fauna on mountaintops: the ‘GLORIA Extended’ samplings in South Tyrol (Italy)
Here we present first results of (high) alpine soil fauna communities living on mountain tops of South Tyrol (Italy).
