Climate Change and (Mal)Adaptation in Tourism‐Intensive Alpine Regions
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Tourism, especially in winter, accounts for a large share of economic income in Alpine regions. At the same time, these regions are more severely affected by climate change, leading to shorter winter seasons and reduced snow cover. This presents a pressing issue for areas reliant on income from winter tourism through activities such as skiing.

Plant cover evolution and naturalisation of revegetated ski runs in an Apennine ski resort (Italy)
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2009 Revegetation on ski runs is performed to limit soil erosion, to reduce visual impact and to lengthen the duration of snow cover. Commercial forage mixtures are often used and the mid-long term aim is to obtain a high level of colonisation by species of the local flora to ensure the ecological integration of restored areas.
