Impacts of anthropogenic and environmental factors on the occurrence of shallow landslides in an alpine catchment (Urseren Valley, Switzerland) [PDF]
, 2008 Changes in climate and land use pose a risk to stability of alpine soils, but the direction and magnitude of the impact is still discussed controversially with respect to the various alpine regions.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC), as a key indicator of global carbon cycling and climate change response, plays a critical role in regional ecological security and agricultural sustainability. This study employs three machine learning models including the LightGBM, XGBoost, and random forest to simulate the spatial distribution of topsoil SOC stocks

The impact of land use- and climate change on the managed eco-geomorphic balance in the Alps [PDF]
, 2015 During the last decades, agricultural development in European mountain regions has caused considerable changes in land use intensity and management and as a consequence, in land cover (Brugger et al. 1984; MacDonald et al., 2000; Bätzing, 2005).

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is a major and stable component of soil organic carbon, yet its fraction‐specific accumulation and stabilization mechanisms remain unclear, particularly in peatlands experiencing hydrological change. We investigated MNC distribution along three independent transects spanning a natural gradient of five ...
