Ecological quality of snowmaking reservoirs in the Alps and management perspectives
Aquatic SciencesAlpine freshwater ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots providing key ecosystem services. They face threats from climate change and anthropogenic activities. Snowmaking reservoirs emerged in the world in response to snow rarefaction and increasing winter tourism. Despite efforts to assess their environmental impact, our understanding of their ecological

Snowmaking and sustainability of mountain socio-hydro-ecological systems
Le tourisme hivernal est d’une importance économique majeure pour les territoires de montagne. L’enneigement naturel se raréfie sous l’influence du changement climatique.En réponse, les stations produisent de plus en plus de neige, ce qui implique d’importants prélèvements d’eau. Cette situation pourrait engendrer des conflits avec d’autres usages de l’
