Leveraging Roadless Areas to Support Strict Protection in the EU
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Strictly protected areas exhibit lower levels of disturbance to habitats and species and are central to biodiversity conservation. Yet only 4% of the EU's land is currently placed under strict protection, far below the 10% target set by the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. This study examines the potential of roadless areas to contribute

Satellite Remote Sensing of Alpine Vegetation Dynamics: Challenges and Perspectives
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.Satellite greening has become a key tool for monitoring alpine vegetation change, but a positive vegetation‐index trend is not an ecological observation in itself. This perspective shows that interpreting alpine greening requires addressing two sequential challenges: methodological complexity, which can bias trends during image processing, and ...

Understanding Ancient Moose Populations in the Southern Rocky Mountains
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Moose (Alces alces) are an iconic symbol of contemporary Rocky Mountain ecosystems, and their growing abundance in Colorado and other portions of the Southern Rockies has inspired debate around their regional prehistory prior to their 20th century translocation. The Early Holocene biogeography of moose in North America is poorly characterised,

Summer Rainfall Drives Adaptation with Gene Flow in a Widespread Butterfly
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding how environmental variation interacts with gene flow to shape population genomic patterns is a central goal in evolutionary biology. We investigated how geographic and environmental differences impact genetic variation in the clouded sulfur butterfly (Colias philodice eriphyle) by conducting whole‐genome resequencing across ...

Growth responses of an alpine grassland to elevated CO2
Oecologia, 1996Alpine plant species have been shown to exhibit a more pronounced increase in leaf photosynthesis under elevated CO2 than lowland plants. In order to test whether this higher carbon fixation efficiency will translate into increased biomass production under CO2 enrichment we exposed plots of narrow alpine grassland (Swiss Central Alps, 2470 m) to ...

Alpine Grasslands on Limestones and Dolomites
2013The alpine grasslands on limestones and dolomites, at an elevation of 2,000–2,500 m, are the focal point of the vegetation of the Dolomites. This is where the highest biodiversity is concentrated, thanks to particularly favorable ecological conditions that have been brought to light precisely with this research.

Faecal Nutrient Deposition of Domestic and Wild Herbivores in an Alpine Grassland
Science of The Total Environment, 2023The contribution of herbivores to ecosystem nutrient fluxes through dung deposition has the potential to, directly and indirectly, influence ecosystem functioning. This process can be particularly important in nutrient-limited ecosystems such as alpine systems.

Alpine Grasslands with Acidocline Species
2013The Dolomites are composed of calcareous rocks, but at the center of this area, in distant geological times, the Predazzo volcanic complex covered the limestones with silicate rocks. The alpine grasslands on silica are described here (an acid substrate at an elevation of 2,000–2,500 m) as well as the complicated situations that occur in the contact ...

Functional diversity and grazing intensity in sub‐alpine and alpine grasslands in
AbstractQuestionsHumans are altering land use and impacting grazing intensities worldwide in alpine and sub‐alpine grasslands, and functional diversity (FD) is a useful tool for predicting changes in these grassland communities and for improving biodiversity conservation.
