Shifts in wind energy potential following land-use driven vegetation dynamics in complex terrain
Fernando Porté Agel, Alexandre Buttler, François Golay, Jiannong Fang, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer
Many mountainous regions with high wind energy potential are characterized by multi-scale variabilities of vegetation in both spatial and time dimensions, which strongly affect the spatial distribution of wind resource and its time evolution. To this end, ...
2018Integrating models across temporal and spatial scales to simulate landscape patterns and dynamics in mountain pasture-woodlands
Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer
Context Pasture-woodlands are semi-natural landscapes that result from the combined influences of climate, management, and intrinsic vegetation dynamics. These landscapes are sensitive to future changes in land use and climate, but our ability to predict t ...
Springer2017Integrating geo-biodiversity features in the analysis of landscape patterns
Alexandre Buttler, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer, Ioana Stoicescu
Spatial patterns are deeply linked to ecological processes and this relationship lies at the core of landscape ecology. In turn, landscape patterns are influenced by physical, biological and anthropogenic factors. The aim of this study was to explore how s ...
Elsevier Science Bv2017Disturbance-grazer-vegetation interactions maintain habitat diversity in mountain pasture-woodlands
Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer
Low-intensity livestock grazing is a widespread management tool in order to maintain habitat diversity in mountain pasture-woodlands for nature conservation purposes. Historical photographs indicate that forest disturbance significantly contributed to fore ...
Elsevier Science Bv2017Multi-scale feedbacks between tree regeneration traits and herbivore behavior explain the structure of pasture-woodland mosaics
Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer
The pasture-woodlands of Central Europe are low-intensity grazing systems in which the structural richness of dynamic forest-grassland mosaics is causal for their high biodiversity. Distinct mosaic patterns in Picea abies- and Fagus sylvatica-dominated pas ...
Springer Verlag2016Landscape persistence and stakeholder perspectives: The case of Romania's Carpathians
Alexandre Buttler, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer
The traditional use of land for food, fuel and wood created cultural landscapes, which are threatened across Europe. The factors which contributed to their endangerment need to be identified to achieve effective preservation of such landscapes. The aim of ...
Elsevier Sci Ltd2016Landscape-scale simulation experiments test Romanian and Swiss management guidelines for mountain pasture-woodland habitat diversity
Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer, Ioana Stoicescu
Distinct guidelines have been proposed in Romania and Switzerland for the management of pasture woodlands that either focused on the regulation of grazing pressure (Romanian production perspective) or overall tree cover (Swiss conservation perspective). Ho ...
Elsevier2016Heuristic-driven Graph Wavelet Modeling of Complex Terrain
Alexandre Buttler, François Golay, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer, Ioana Stoicescu
We present a novel method for building a multiresolution representation of large digital surface models. The surface points coincide with the nodes of a planar graph which can be processed using a critically sampled, invertible lifting scheme. To drive the ...
Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2015How to successfully publish interdisciplinary research: learning from an Ecology and Society Special Feature
Alexandre Buttler, Adrienne Grêt-Regamey, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer
What are the factors that hinder or support publishing interdisciplinary research? What does a successful interdisciplinary publishing process look like? We address these questions by analyzing the publishing process of the interdisciplinary research proje ...
Resilience Alliance2015A 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, Michaël Kalbermatten, Kathryn Lannas
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 ...
