EFFECTS OF LAND COVER, WATER REDISTRIBUTION, AND TEMPERATURE ON ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES IN THE SOUTH PLATTE BASIN [PDF]

, 1998
Over one‐third of the land area in the South Platte Basin of Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming, has been converted to croplands. Irrigated cropland now comprises 8% of the basin, while dry croplands make up 31%.

Continuous grazing in comparison to cutting management on an organic meadow in the eastern Alps [PDF]

, 2010
Continuous grazing is an appropriate pasture system for dairy cows in low input milk production systems like organic farming. Grazing increases for economic reasons and is also caused by regulations in organic farming.

Estimating vegetation cover from high-resolution satellite data to assess grassland degradation in the Georgian Caucasus [PDF]

, 2016
In the Georgian Caucasus, unregulated grazing has damaged grassland vegetation cover and caused erosion. Methods for monitoring and control of affected territories are urgently needed.

Habitat suitability models and carrying capacity estimations for rock ptarmigans in a protected area of the Italian Alps [PDF]

, 2015
Rock ptarmigan populations in the Alps are suffering an overall decline, and management actions are needed to ensure their conservation. Yet wildlife management and conservation actions are often the consequences of political decisions taken by subjects ...

Snow Height Sensors Reveal Phenological Advance in Alpine Grasslands

Global Change Biology
ABSTRACTLong‐term phenological data in alpine regions are often limited to a few locations and thus, little is known about climate‐change‐induced plant phenological shifts above the treeline. Because plant growth initiation in seasonally snow‐covered regions is largely driven by snowmelt timing and local temperature, it is essential to simultaneously ...
