The worsening of drought events with rising air temperature alters tree water relations causing severe hydraulic impairments and widespread forest mortality. Mixing tree species with contrasting hydraulic traits could reduce forest vulnerability to extreme ...
S’il est un modèle d’habitat associé aux périphéries urbaines, c’est bien celui de la maison individuelle. Intimement liée à l’essor de la mobilité automobile, la propagation de ce type d’habitation dans les campagnes entourant les villes fait partie inté ...

Why is protecting biodiversity essential, how are first impressions most often wrong, what is the state of biodiversity protection in 2023, why Switzerland is doing a lot less than is commonly assumed? Paying for biodiversity is not a financial decision co ...
Forest maps are essential to understand forest dynamics. Due to the increasing availability of remote sensing data and machine learning models like convolutional neural networks, forest maps can these days be created on large scales with high accuracy. Com ...
Tree-related microhabitats (TreMs) have been identified as key features for forest-dwelling taxa and are often employed as measures for biodiversity conservation in integrative forest management. However, managing forests to ensure an uninterrupted resourc ...
The conservation and restoration of forest ecosystems require detailed knowledge of the native plant compositions. Here, we map global forest tree composition and assess the impacts of historical forest cover loss and climate change on trees. The global oc ...
We demonstrate that when power scaling occurs for an individual tree and in a forest, there is great resulting simplicity notwithstanding the underlying complexity characterizing the system over many size scales. Our scaling framework unifies seemingly dis ...
Le climat des montagnes change chaque année, perturbant les activités alpines et le tourisme en particulier à moyenne et basse altitude. Ces dérèglements ont eu des conséquences directes sur le domaine skiable de La Braye à Château-d’Oex (Vaud) dont toute ...
Two lichenological studies were conducted in the Montricher forests, one on lignicolous lichens of stumps in 2005 and the other on lichens of the different forest types in 2015. The synthesis of the two allows to establish a reference state of forest liche ...
The rates of tropical deforestation remain high, resulting in carbon emissions, biodiversity loss, and impacts on local communities. To design effective policies to tackle this, it is necessary to know what the drivers behind deforestation are. Since drive ...
