Wind-tunnel experimental studies of the spatial snow distribution over grass and bush surfaces

The snow is one of the most important water resources in grassland in northern and western China, while the wind blowing snow due to the strong wind there is a common phenomenon, which can lead to heavy disasters to harm the local animal husbandry and tran ...

Water vapor transport in snowpacks

Mahdi Jafari

This thesis is an in-depth treatment of water vapor transport in snowpacks and its impacts on snow structure. The aim is to better understand this transport process and to lay the basis for a model representation in physics-based multi-layer snow models. O ...

Demonstration of Roteco - the robotic teacher community: An informative, collaborative platform with a unique community ecosystem

Sophia Reyes Mury

Today the digital society in which we live requires the acquisition of new computer-related skills, such as computational thinking or coding skills, as well as cross-curricular skills, such as communication, collaboration and creativity. Preparing and insp ...

Digital Twin-Enabled Decision Support Services in Industrial Ecosystems

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Jinzhi Lu

The goal of this paper is to further elaborate a new concept for value creation by decision support services in industrial service ecosystems using digital twins and to apply it to an extended case study. The aim of the original model was to design and int ...

On the fractal structure of soil moisture fields

Andrea Rinaldo

We study the spatial structure of soil moisture fields within savanna ecosystems, whose persistence is vital because it is the driver of the entire ecological structure and function. These include changes in the physical and biogeochemical conditions of th ...

Optimised biomolecular extraction for metagenomic analysis of microbial biofilms from high-mountain streams

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Jade Brandani, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Paraskevi Pramateftaki

Glacier-fed streams (GFS) are harsh ecosystems dominated by microbial life organized in benthic biofilms, yet the biodiversity and ecosystem functions provided by these communities remain under-appreciated. To better understand the microbial processes and ...

A Closing Window of Opportunity to Save a Unique Marine Ecosystem

Anders Meibom, Maoz Fine

Five years in the making, a massive oil spill of 1 million barrels is imminent in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen. Emergent action must be taken by the United Nations and its International Maritime Organization (IMO) to remove the oil, despite regional ...

Changes in Climatology, Snow Cover, and Ground Temperatures at High Alpine Locations

Michael Lehning

Knowledge about changes in ground temperatures under a changing climate is important for many environmental, economic, and infrastructure applications and can be estimated by transient numerical simulations. However, a full annual cycle of precipitation da ...

Marteloscopes as training tools for the retention and conservation of habitat trees in forests

Rita Bütler Sauvain

Recently several initiatives on the political and practical level have aimed at promoting forest biodiversity and at halting the loss of species in forest ecosystems. Nevertheless numerous species are still threatened. The main reason for this phenomenon i ...

Plastic and genetic responses of a common sedge to warming have contrasting effects on carbon cycle processes

Luca Bragazza, Constant Signarbieux, Richard David Bardgett, Thomas William Nicholas Walker

Climate warming affects plant physiology through genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity, but little is known about how these mechanisms influence ecosystem processes. We used three elevation gradients and a reciprocal transplant experiment to show th ...
