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 ...

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 ...

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
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
