Elevation-dependent influence of snow accumulation on forest greening

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 ...

Real Time Fire Monitoring Using Semantic Web and Linked Data Technologies

Manolis Karpathiotakis

Fire monitoring and management in Mediterranean countries such as Greece is of paramount importance. Almost every summer massive forest fires break out, causing severe destruction and even human life losses. Thus, European initiatives in the area of Earth ...

Organic functional groups in aerosol particles from burning and non-burning forest emissions at a high-elevation mountain site

Satoshi Takahama

Ambient particles collected on teflon filters at the Peak of Whistler Mountain, British Columbia (2182 ma.s.l.) during spring and summer 2009 were measured by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for organic functional groups (OFG). The project m ...

Modelling natural disturbances in forest ecosystems: a review

François Gillet

Natural disturbances play a key role in ecosystem dynamics and are important factors for sustainable forest ecosystem management. Quantitative models are frequently employed to tackle the complexities associated with disturbance processes. Here we review t ...

A rapid response of testate amoebae and vegetation to inundation of a kettle hole mire

Mariusz Lamentowicz

Our palaeoecological study covers 73 years of history (1929-2002) of a kettle hole peatland inundated by water from a nearby, dammed lake. Testate amoebae, pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) were used to track the shift to wetter conditions in the p ...

Influence of El Nino-Southern Oscillation on the interannual variability of tropospheric ozone in the nothern midlatitudes

Isabelle Bey, Sylvia Generoso, Symeon Koumoutsaris

We use the GEOS-Chem model to interpret long-term measurements of tropospheric

Prevention of forest fires in a changing climatic context in Ticino, southern Switzerland

Michael Reinhard

Switzerland is not a place commonly associated with forest fires, unlike many areas of the nearby Mediterranean Basin. However, in this Alpine country, forest fires occur every year and destroy forests that fulfil various functions, the most socially and e ...

Effect of cattle activities on gap colonisation in mountain pastures

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat

Cattle influences gap dynamics in pastures in two ways: (1) by creating gaps and (2) by affecting the colonization process. This effect of cattle activity on gap revegetation can be subdivided in three main factors: herbage removal, trampling and dung and ...
