2020Adapting ski area operations to a warmer climate in the Swiss Alps through snowmaking investments and efficiency improvements
Economic consequences of climate change for the Swiss winter tourism have been assessed in two studies. Though estimates of the potential annual costs highly differ between them, they however agree on two points. On the one hand, winter tourism will be one ...
EPFL2008Past uppermost tree limit in the Central European Alps (Switzerland) based on soil and soil charcoal
The uppermost limits of past treelines in the Alps are established using soil type and soil charcoal mass. In all the studied sites, a sharp decrease of soil charcoal mass is correlated with the upper altitudinal limit of podzols. On the basis of this evid ...
2004Aluminum in the opal silica reticule of phytoliths: A new tool in palaeoecological studies
X-ray microanalysis was employed to screen biogenic plant silica extracted from the aboveground tissues of 20 species (Grammeae Cyperaceae. Ericaceae, and Coniferae) occurring in subalpine and alpine grasslands, heaths, and woodlands on siliceous bedrock i ...
