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

open access: yesHydrological 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 ...

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

open access: yesAnimal 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

open access: yesEarth 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

open access: yesAquatic 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
