This presentation examines the socio-ecological risks and opportunities of human adaptation in North America’s Yellowstone to Yukon region.
Rwenzori glaciers: sentinels of climate change in Central/East Africa
Rwenzori glaciers are studied from remote sensing, micro-meteorological and biological perspectives to reconstruct their recent dynamics.
Fires in Bohemian Switzerland as one of the consequences of climate change and procedures for protecting the unique natural environment
Huge forest fire affected 1060 hectars of the Bohemian-Saxon Switzerland National Park in July 2022. Presentation describing impact of fire to nature and our cooperation with the National Park.
Estimating snow sublimation using stable water isotopes and eddy-covariance measurements in the Swiss Alps
We provide estimates of snow sublimation at three high-alpine sites in the Swiss Alps, integrating eddy-covariance measurements of latent heat fluxes and stable water isotope measurements.
Changes in species distribution throughout the snowmelt gradient in 20 years in Pyrenean snowbed patches
Preliminary results evidence the rapid colonisation of snowbed patches by a set of competitive grassland species in 20 years
Plants and microclimates at the Drakensberg mountain range
Plant diversity is influenced by microclimatic temperatures and soil moisture that we measured across three distinct grasslands on a 1-km elevational gradient in southern Africa.
The Integrated European Long-Term Ecosystem, critical zone and socio-ecological Research Infrastructure eLTER RI – Status and Outlook
eLTER RI will respond to the challenge of understanding the complex interactions between people and nature over the long term.
The new normal: increasing probability of late frost and drought. Effects on juvenile trees.
Drought and late frosts are major disturbances in forest ecosystems. This potted gradient experiment tries to understand the impact of both disturbances on juvenile trees.
Constructed Wetlands for bioremediation of Acid Rock Drainage in the Peruvian Andes: Implementation, monitoring and replicability
Glacial retreat and sulphide weathering create acidic rock drainage. Constructed Wetlands have been implemented to improve pH and reduce heavy metals and sulphates with potential for reuse.
Degradation of the cryosphere in the high Drakensberg Mountains under past and future climate change
The overall goal of this study is to assess the impact of climate change on past and future degradation of the cryosphere in the high Drakensberg based on an interdisciplinary approach.
