Modelling and simulating change in reforesting mountain landscapes using a social-ecological framework [PDF]
Natural reforestation of European mountain landscapes raises major environmental and societal issues. With local stakeholders in the Pyrenees National Park area (France), we studied agricultural landscape colonisation by ash (Fraxinus excelsior) to ...

Three-dimensional shear velocity structure of the Mauléon and Arzacq Basins (Western Pyrenees)
We present a 3-D shear wave velocity model of the Mauléon and Arzacq Basins from the surface down to 10 km depth, inverted from phase velocity maps at periods between 2 and 9 s.

Critical rainfall conditions for the initiation of torrential flows: results from the Rebaixader catchment (Central Pyrenees) [PDF]
Torrential flows like debris flows or debris floods are fast movements formed by a mix of water and different amounts of unsorted solid material. They generally occur in steep torrents and pose high risk in mountainous areas.

Stand-level drivers of tree-species diversification in Mediterranean pine forests after abandonment of traditional practices [PDF]
The progressive abandonment of traditional forest management over the last few decades has led to significant densification processes in most Mediterranean pine stands.

Convergent flow in a two-layer system and mountain building [PDF]
With the purpose of modelling the process of mountain building, we investigate the evolution of the ridge produced by the convergent motion of a system consisting of two layers of liquids that differ in density and viscosity to simulate the crust and the

Maximum height of mountain forests abruptly decreases above an elevation breakpoint
Canopy height is an excellent indicator of forest productivity, biodiversity and other ecosystem functions. Yet, we know little about how elevation drives canopy height in mountain areas.
