Thinking like a consumer: Linking aquatic basal metabolism and consumer dynamics
Tom Ian Battin, Marta Boix Canadell, Janine Rüegg
The increasing availability of high‐frequency freshwater ecosystem metabolism data provides an opportunity to identify links between metabolic regimes, as gross primary production and ecosystem respiration patterns, and consumer energetics with the potenti ...
2020Anthropogenic charcoal-rich soils of the XIX century reveal that biochar leads to enhanced fertility and fodder quality of alpine grasslands
Soil incorporation of charcoal (biochar) has been suggested as practice to sequester carbon, improve soil properties and crop yields but most studies have been done in the short term. Old anthropogenic charcoal-rich soils in the Alps enable to explore the ...
Springer2017Landscape-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 ...
Elsevier2016Spatio-temporal heterogeneity of riparian soil morphology in a restored floodplain
Claire Guenat, Géraldine Michèle Bullinger, Edward Mitchell, Bertrand Fournier
Floodplains have been intensively altered in industrialized countries, but are now increasingly being restored. It is therefore important to assess the effect of these restoration projects on the aquatic and terrestrial components of ecosystems. However, d ...
European Geosciences Union2013Comparison Between Reconstructions of Global Anthropogenic Land Cover Change over Past Two Millennia
Three global datasets, the History Database of the Global Environment (HYDE), Kaplan and Krumhardt (KK) and Pongratz of reconstructed anthropogenic land cover change (ALCC) were introduced and compared in this paper. The HYDE dataset was reconstructed by G ...
Springer2013Modifier-adaptation methodology for real-time optimization
The process industries are characterized by a large number of continuously operating plants, for which optimal operation is of economic importance. However, optimal operation is particularly difficult to achieve when the process model used in the optimizat ...
EPFL2009Phytolith types and type-frequencies in subalpine-alpine plant species of the European Alps
Biogenic silica extracted from 21 species commonly occurring in subalpine and alpine plant communities in the central Swiss Alps were examined using light and SEM microscopes; 19 species being screened here for the first time. An inventory of phytolith typ ...
2004Comparative characterization of volcanic ash soils exposed to decade-long elevated carbon dioxide concentrations at Mammoth Mountain, California
Elevated concentrations of soil CO2, ranging from 20% to 90%, from a magmatic source have been killing coniferous trees in the last decade in several distinct areas on the flanks of Mammoth Mountain, California. These areas of elevated soil CO2 provide a n ...
