The impacts of sport emissions on climate: Measurement, mitigation, and making a difference. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci, 2023
Sport makes potentially significant contributions to climate change through both carbon emissions and influence over sustainability practices. Evidence regarding impacts is uneven and spread across many disciplines. This systematic review and meta‐analysis investigates the impacts of sport emissions on climate and identifies knowledge gaps.

Ski Tourism Shapes the Snow Microbiome on Ski Slopes in the Italian Central Alps. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Ski tourism alters the snow microbiome by increasing microbial load and introducing human‐ and host‐associated taxa. These shifts may impact alpine ecosystem functions and highlight the need for systematic microbiome monitoring in mountain environments.

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

Climate change adaptation through an integrative lens in Aotearoa New Zealand. [PDF]

J R Soc N Z
ABSTRACT Climate change is being felt across all human and natural systems in Aotearoa New Zealand and is projected to worsen this decade as impacts compound and cascade through natural system and sectoral dependencies. The effectiveness of adaptation is constrained by how fast greenhouse gas emissions are reduced globally, the pace of change, the ...
