Will landscape responses reduce glacier sensitivity to climate change in High Mountain Asia? [PDF]

The Cryosphere
In High Mountain Asia (HMA), ongoing climate change threatens mountain water resources as glaciers melt, and the resulting changes in runoff and water availability are likely to have considerable negative impacts on ecological and human systems. Numerous

Geomorphic Effects and Habitat Impacts of Large Wood at Restoration Sites in New England

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large wood (used interchangeably with the term “instream wood”), which refers to trees, logs and other wood within a channel, is beneficial to river ecosystems and is being used more frequently as a component of river restoration projects. We identified metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of large wood to promote ecological and geomorphic ...

Suitability of a constant air temperature lapse rate over an Alpine glacier: testing the Greuell and Böhm model as an alternative [PDF]

, 2013
Near-surface air temperature, typically measured at a height of 2 m, is the most important control on the energy exchange and the melt rate at a snow or ice surface.

Identification of initial vegetation and habitat changes in small temperate fens using remote sensing

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Temperate fens with only incipient, subtle signs of deterioration can be reliably identified using Sentinel‐2 and aerial imagery, which sensitively detect early productivity‐related structural changes. Abstract Small temperate fens rank among the most endangered habitats in temperate Europe.

Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...

Combining non‐invasive survey methods increases cumulative detection probability for breeding harlequin ducks Histrionicus histrionicus

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The effective implementation of new technologies for wildlife population monitoring is limited by knowledge of factors that impact their efficacy. Population monitoring of harlequin ducks Histrionicus histrionicus on their breeding streams in Montana and Idaho in the Northern Rocky Mountains, has historically relied on ground‐based foot surveys (GBS ...

Risk factors for bark stripping damage on Norway spruce by red deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Norway spruce Picea abies is an economically important tree species in Europe, actively managed for forestry. Among the most negative biotic factors for growth and hence forest production is damage caused by wildlife, such as damage through bark stripping by red deer Cervus elaphus.
