Flow-Py v1.0: a customizable, open-source simulation tool to estimate runout and intensity of gravitational mass flows [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2022
Models and simulation tools for gravitational mass flows (GMFs) such as snow avalanches, rockfall, landslides, and debris flows are important for research, education, and practice.

Comparing environmental impacts of alien plants, insects and pathogens in protected riparian forests [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2021
The prioritization of alien species according to the magnitude of their environmental impacts has become increasingly important for the management of invasive alien species. In this study, we applied the Environmental Impact Classification of Alien Taxa (

Influence of antecedent soil moisture content and land use on the surface runoff response to heavy rainfall simulation experiments investigated in Alpine catchments

Heliyon, 2023
In small Alpine catchments, floods are mostly triggered by surface runoff generation during convective heavy precipitation events. Their magnitude also depends on the antecedent soil moisture content, which was shown in several previous studies.

Invasive alien plant species in unmanaged forest reserves, Austria [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2019
Invasive alien plant species (IAS) are one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity and the sustainable functioning of ecosystems and mitigating the threat posed by them is therefore of great importance. This study presents the results of a 15-year

Conservation potential of non-protected area for sympatric carnivores in Bhutan

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Carnivore conservation in Bhutan is mainly focused on charismatic species such as the tiger and the snow leopard inside protected areas. Little is known about the conservation status of small and medium-sized sympatric carnivores outside the protected ...

Regional influence of ocean–atmosphere teleconnections on the timing and duration of MODIS-derived snow cover in British Columbia, Canada [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2019
We use the twice-daily Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow cover product to study the regional influence of the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) on snow cover in British Columbia (BC).

Rapid assessment of feeding traces enables detection of drivers of saproxylic insects across spatial scales

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Knowledge of habitat requirements of saproxylic insects and their response to habitat changes is critical for assessing the ecological impacts of forest management.

Particle and front tracking in experimental and computational avalanche dynamics [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Understanding particle motion in snow avalanches is crucial for improving the representation of flow dynamics in numerical models. In this study, we develop and apply a general framework for testing and calibrating thickness-integrated flow models using ...

A Systematic Review of the Impact of Invasive Alien Plants on Forest Regeneration in European Temperate Forests

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the major threats to global and local biodiversity. In forest ecosystems, the threats caused by IAS include hybridization, transmission of diseases and species competition.

Fourteen simple-sequence repeats newly developed for population genetic studies in Prosopis africana (Fabaceae–Mimosoideae)

BMC Research Notes, 2017
Background There is very limited genetic knowledge in Prosopis africana, an important sub-Saharan multi-purpose tree species. Availability of highly polymorphic genetic markers would be helpful for future genetic work. Findings Leaf samples from 15 trees
