Geological contacts - central Northern Calcareous Alps (Eastern Alps, Austria)

Geological mapping in the central Northern Calcareous Alps (Eastern Alps, Austria) during the years 2021 to 2023 has been performed. The aim of mapping has been to revise the 1:50,000 scale geological maps published by the Austrian Geological Survey (GBA/

Mesoclimatic origin affects alpine plant germination but not its plasticity

Oikos, EarlyView.
Mountain ecosystems are disproportionately exposed to global warming, which may put alpine plant species in particular at risk. Plant species' migration and persistence depend on successful seed regeneration, with demographic traits such as germination being strongly sensitive to both present and ancestral climate.

Orogenic structure and topography track subduction singularities during slab delamination and detachment

Scientific Reports
A new model of Alpine mountain-building based on state-of-the-art seismic imaging explains how slab delamination and detachment facilitated indentation and led to along-strike changes in orogenic structure, denudation and basin dynamics.

Present-day surface deformation of the Alpine region inferred from geodetic techniques [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2018
We provide a present-day surface-kinematics model for the Alpine region and surroundings based on a high-level data analysis of about 300 geodetic stations continuously operating over more than 12 years.

The evolutionary history of the Arabidopsis arenosa complex : diverse tetraploids mask the Western Carpathian center of species and genetic diversity [PDF]

, 2012
The Arabidopsis arenosa complex is closely related to the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Species and subspecies in the complex are mainly biennial, predominantly outcrossing, herbaceous, and with a distribution range covering most parts of latitudes ...

Trait convergence under warming: drought tolerance, not thermal limits, mediates native–invader dynamics in alpine ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climate warming and plant invasions jointly alter alpine ecosystems, but the mechanisms underlying these interactions remain unclear. A key to predicting ecosystem vulnerability is whether native and invasive species can sustain performance as conditions warm.

Interactions between Eastern Newts and Wood Frogs in an anthropogenically altered wetland system in eastern Kentucky [PDF]

, 2014
A key characteristic of the ridge-top ecosystem in eastern Kentucky is the presence of ephemeral wetlands. Ephemeral wetlands of the ridge-top ecosystem support an amphibian community assemblage characterized by species with short larval periods (e.g ...

Evaluating Testability of Permafrost Models Through Physical and Thermal Testing in Complex Mountain Terrain, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.
