Climate change fragments Alpine habitats, isolating species like the mountain hare. We evaluate its effects and propose a coordinated monitoring network across protected and non-protected areas.
Treeline dynamics and seedling survival in the Italian Alps: Insights from the OLYMPUS Project
This study investigates forest regeneration dynamics at the treeline in the Italian Alps, focusing on environmental manipulation at Genevris Mt. and Croda da Lago, and integrating LiDAR data for micro
Advancing Risk Evolution Monitoring: Challenges and Opportunities form Flood Risk to Multi-Hazard Risk
Monitoring flood risk evolution reveals dynamic changes driven by climate, land use, and socio-economic factors, offering insights into extending risk monitoring frameworks to multi-hazard risk.
Exploring the ecological role of high-elevation lakes for Alpine bat populations
This study highlights the dual role of high-altitude alpine lakes as both water sources and insect-rich feeding areas for bats, with findings showing increased bat activity and feeding near lakes.
Assessing Blue-Green Water Partitioning and Glacier Contributions in Peruvian high-Andean wetlands
TC model applied to quantify water fluxes in Peruvian wetlands, assessing glacier and ephemeral snow contributions, their hydrological buffering capacity and sensitivity to climate variability
At the top of the mountain: Bat activity across elevations using acoustic monitoring in the Western Alps
Bat activity in Western Alps peaks at 1,600m, probably due to prey abundance, but is primarily driven by nighttime temperature and elevation. Bat passages also occur at 3,100m
Seasonal variability of aerosol properties at Testa Grigia Observatory (3480 m), in the western Italian Alps
First observations at the Testa Grigia Observatory, at 3480 m in the Italian Alps, are reported. Data reveal distinct aerosol regimes affected by meteorological factors and air mass origins.
Evaluating a variable-resolution physically based snow model through intensive monitoring at high-mountain experimental catchments: lessons learned and future directions.
We test a snowdrift-permitting variable resolution snow model at an experimental catchment in the Andes Cordillera of Central chile, and diagnose avenues for further development.
Application of Climate-Smart Forestry in long-term experimental plots to analyze the management effects for forest resilience and climate adaptation
Long-term experimental plots provide a robust data foundation for evaluating the effects of forest management practices on climate-smart forestry over time, supporting informed forest managers’ choice
Mountain tourism and climat change in Cévennes National Park : trend, challenges and adaptation in fresh areas
Fresh recreational activities are changing in mountain due to climate change, increasing pressure on aquatic ecosystem. We analysed fresh areas in PNC to optimize their management and conservation
