Light Availability Prevails Over Soil Fertility and Structure in the Performance of Asian Knotweeds on Riverbanks: New Management Perspectives

Thomas Spiegelberger

Asian knotweeds (Fallopia spp.) are considered one of the world's most invasive species. Restoring habitats dominated by these exotic species requires a better understanding of the importance of abiotic factors controlling the invasive knotweeds performanc ...

How do subordinate and dominant species in semi-natural mountain grasslands relate to productivity and land-use change?

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Thomas Spiegelberger

Changes in agricultural practices of semi-natural mountain grasslands are expected to modify plant community structure and shift dominance patterns. Using vegetation surveys of 11 sites in semi-natural grasslands of the Swiss Jura and Swiss and French Alps ...

Dynamics of Forage Production in Pasture-woodlands of the Swiss Jura Mountains under Projected Climate Change Scenarios

Alexandre Buttler, Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov, François Gillet, Thomas Spiegelberger, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer

Silvopastoral systems of the Swiss Jura Mountains serve as a traditional source of forage and timber in the subalpine vegetation belt, but their vulnerability to land use and climate change puts their future sustainability at stake. We coupled experimental ...

A Contextual Analysis of Land-Use and Vegetation Changes in Two Wooded Pastures in the Swiss Jura Mountains

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Thomas Spiegelberger, Joël Chételat, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer, Kathryn Lannas, Michaël Kalbermatten

This study examines the effects of land-use policies and natural events on the evolution of two wooded pastures in the Jura Mountains in Switzerland between 1934 and 2000. The socioeconomic context and the local conditions were seen as major driving forces ...

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

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Adrienne Grêt-Regamey, 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 ...

Past and future landscape dynamics in pasture-woodlands of the Swiss Jura Mountains under climate change

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Thomas Spiegelberger, Joël Chételat, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer

Silvopastoral systems are traditional components of the landscape in the Swiss Jura Mountains, and are promising approaches for the sustainable management of mountain areas worldwide. Due to complex vegetation dynamics, pasture-woodlands are very vulnerabl ...

Resilience of acid subalpine grassland to short-term liming and fertilisation

Thomas Spiegelberger, Claire Emilie Deléglise

A fertilisation experiment was started in the French Alps on an acid grassland at 2000 m in 1989 where lime as calcium carbonate ("liming") and Thomas Slag enriched by potassium chloride ("fertilisation") were added in a random block design until 1992. Sin ...
