Maladaptation to Climate Change Poses a Threat to Future Aquaculture Production

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study considers the risks of maladaptation to climate change in the aquaculture sector. It highlights potential routes that maladaptation could arise through six Aquaculture Maladaptation Outcomes and discusses the aquaculture adaptation‐maladaptation continuum, as well as potential ways to avoid maladaptation.

A Multi‐Century Meteo‐Hydrological Analysis in the Italian Alps: Daily Streamflow (1862–2022) at Different Time Scales

Hydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 11, November 2025.
The second longest time series (1862–2022) for Italy and possibly the Mediterranean area of daily hydrometric levels and streamflow data was reconstructed for the Adige river basin, in the Italian Alps (9793 km2). Annual precipitation is stationary and annual streamflow is significantly declining at a rate of −1.0 mm year−1 corresponding to −1.3 ...

Artificial snowmaking possibilities and climate change based on regional climate modeling in the Southern Black Forest

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2012
Winter sport, especially ski tourism - is one of those sectors of tourism that will be affected by climate change. Ski resorts across the Alps and in the adjacent low mountain ranges react to warm winter seasons by investing in artificial snowmaking. But

Preserving Short‐Sward Natural Grasslands May Provide Suitable Foraging Habitat for a Climate‐Threatened Alpine Species Along Ski‐Pistes

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 734-746, October 2025.
Investigating the ultimate factors that underpin the impacts of ski‐pistes on alpine species is crucial to identify concrete mitigation strategies. This is urgently needed given that winter sports are expanding in mountain ranges worldwide. We evaluated the impacts of ski‐pistes on the foraging behaviour of the white‐winged snowfinch, an iconic alpine ...

Biogeomorphic assessment of natural streambank structures in the Alps: A step to improve soil and water bioengineering techniques

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 9, July 2025.
This study first analyses intermingled geomorphological and ecological units along naturally stable banks in mountain streams, aiming to identify stable biogeomorphological structures that resist erosion. Two bio‐geomorphologic types of stable streambanks were identified: 1) those along steep‐sloped streams, where mixed mineral and plant units ...

Ecological quality of snowmaking reservoirs in the Alps and management perspectives

Aquatic Sciences
Alpine 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
