Climate Controls on Carbon Dioxide Fluxes in a High‐Elevation Grassland
Climate change is significantly influencing high‐elevation grasslands, possibly unbalancing CO2 exchanges and the sink‐source dynamics. Cumulated heat available for plant growth and vegetation cover were identified as the main controllers of phenological development and, via direct or mediated effects, of CO2 fluxes (ER and GPP).

Abstract Powder snow avalanches are highly dynamic, multiphase gravity‐driven flows typically composed of a dense basal layer overlain by airborne layers in which snow particles are suspended within a turbulent air phase. Despite extensive work on related systems such as pyroclastic density currents and turbidity currents, all gravity current studies ...

Abstract Earthflows are landslides in fine‐grained materials that alternate long dormant phases of very slow movement with short paroxysmal stages of rapid motion. These rapid phases are highly destructive, often causing severe damage to buildings and infrastructure.

From Geoportals to Geographic Knowledge Portals
We present the application of Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) in combination with recommender systems, in order to enhance discovery in geoportals. As a basis for discovery, metadata of spatial data and services, as well as of non-spatial resources, such as documents and scientific papers, is created and registered in the catalogue of the geoportal ...

Beyond species loss: Community reshuffling shapes biodiversity along the urban–rural gradient
Our results indicate that species turnover is a general ecological mechanism shaping vertebrate communities along the urban gradient, driven by taxon‐ and species‐specific responses to environmental and spatial features. Community differences primarily reflect habitat suitability rather than dispersal limitation, highlighting the potential of targeted ...

Sustainable Livestock Decisions in a Post‐Conflict Frontier: Evidence From Colombia's Orinoquía
ABSTRACT The Orinoquía region is one of Colombia's principal agricultural frontiers and has been shaped by long‐standing armed‐conflict dynamics that continue to influence land governance, producer incentives, and investment decisions. Efforts to promote sustainable cattle production emphasize two key practices: sustainable pasture management ...

Spatial Metadata Usability Evaluation
Spatial metadata is a critical part of any spatial data infrastructure, which enables the organising, sharing, discovery and use of spatial data. This paper highlights a knowledge gap in the usability of the metadata systems for the end–users.
