Invasion by Fallopia spp. in a French upland region is related to anthropogenic disturbances

Within Europe, mountain ecosystems are generally less invaded by exotic plant species than are lowland areas. This pattern is commonly attributed to climatic harshness, which limits invasive species presence, and higher propagule pressure and rates of dist ...

Elevation dependency of mountain snow depth

Michael Lehning

Elevation strongly affects quantity and distribution patterns of precipitation and snow. Positive elevation gradients were identified by many studies, usually based on data from sparse precipitation stations or snow depth measurements. We present a systema ...

Ecological response of trees to simulated climate change along an altitudinal gradient (CLIMARBRE)

Alexandre Buttler, Constant Signarbieux, María Paula Sanginés De Cárcer

Assessing the impacts of climate change on mountain ecosystems is challenging as it takes several decades to observe an ecological response. Using a transplantation experiment in the Swiss Jura Mountains we study the adaptability of beech and spruce to sim ...

Sustainable Land Use in Mountain Regions Under Global Change: Synthesis Across Scales and Disciplines

Alexandre Buttler, Adrienne Grêt-Regamey, François Gillet, Thomas Spiegelberger, Heike Lischke

Mountain regions provide essential ecosystem goods and services (EGS) for both mountain dwellers and people living outside these areas. Global change endangers the capacity of mountain ecosystems to provide key services. The Mountland project focused on th ...

Sustainable Land-use Practices in European Mountain Regions under Global Change: an Integrated Research Approach

Alexandre Buttler

This Special Feature on sustainable land-use practices in European mountain regions presents results from the inter- and transdisciplinary research project MOUNTLAND. The goal was to investigate the sensitivity of the provision of ecosystem services to bot ...

Analytic probability distributions for snow-dominated streamflow

Andrea Rinaldo, Bettina Schaefli, Gianluca Botter

We propose a novel analytical description of the streamflow probability distribution functions (pdfs) in Alpine catchments characterized by pronounced, snow-dominated winter low flows. Knowledge about such hydrological regimes is crucial for water resource ...

Elevation-dependent influence of snow accumulation on forest greening

Ernesto Trujillo Gomez

Rising temperatures and declining water availability have influenced the ecological function of mountain forests over the past half-century. For instance, warming in spring and summer and shifts towards earlier snowmelt are associated with an increase in w ...

Statistical modelling of ground temperature in mountain permafrost

Anthony Christopher Davison, Juliette Ferial Blanchet

Permafrost consists of soil and rocks that remain at 0 degrees C or below for at least two consecutive years. In mountains, permafrost ground ice acts like cement, stabilizing rock walls. Its degradation, following climate warming, may lead to slope instab ...

Wireless Sensor Networks for Environmental Monitoring: The SensorScope Experience

Martin Vetterli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, François Ingelrest

While wireless sensor networks have been extensively studied in the past few years, most results are of theoretical nature and were obtained outside of a practical context. This can be problematic for real applications, especially in the area of environmen ...
