Alpine und pre-Alpine tectonics in the Central Orobic Alps (Southern Alps)

open access: yes, 1988
A sequence of regional deformation episodes is described in the Permian cover and in the metamorphic basement of a portion of the Southern Alps, southeast of Sondrio (Valtellina). The earliest episode is contemporaneous with low to medium grade metamorphism in the basement; the second episode occurs during low temperature greenschist-facies ...

Geology and geomorphology of the European Alps and the southern Alps of New Zealand: A comparison

open access: yes, 2010
The European Alps (Alps) and Southern Alps of New Zealand (Southern Alps) are both high mountain ranges formed by the collision of tectonic plates. The Alps resulted from collision of the African and European Plates, which produced complex lithological ...

Treeless vegetation of the Australian Alps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Based on 1222 floristic quadrat samples, 56 plant communities were identified in treeless vegetation in the Australian Alps of south-eastern Australia. (c. 35º 30´–38ºS, 146°–149°E). The study encompassed vegetation from above the upper limit of trees on

The potential global distribution of Drosophila suzukii, including consideration of irrigation and Australian host cropping areas

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This CLIMEX model of Drosophila suzukii fits the global distribution very well and includes irrigation effects. It indicates that D. suzukii could threaten all Australian berry and cherry production areas if introduced. Abstract BACKGROUND Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is a major fruit fly pest of cherries and berries across ...

Amenity Migration in the Alps: Applying Models of Motivations and Effects to 2 Case Studies in Italy

open access: yesMountain Research and Development, 2016
Using 2 models, this article illustrates different forms of in-migration in the Alps, the motivations for relocation, and effects of newcomers on their destination areas. Since the 1990s, more and more communities in the European Alps, which had suffered

Investigating precipitation growth and decay due to orography using radar rainfall observations in Great Britain

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Precipitation growth and decay due to orography was analyzed using the radar network in Great Britain. Storm direction and speed modulate the intensity of precipitation growth or decay. Windward slopes predominantly exhibit precipitation growth, while leeward areas show precipitation decay.

Tertiary extension in the southern Trento Platform, Southern Alps, Italy

open access: yesTectonics, 1995
The southern Trento Platform (Southern Alps, NE Italy) was the locus of abundant mafic volcanism associated with Paleogene extensional tectonics. During the Pal eocene and throughout the Eocene, a NNW–SSE trending graben (the Alpone‐Agno Graben (AAG)) developed in the eastern Lessini Mountains.

Using Airborne Laser Scanning and Sentinel‐2 to Understand Subcanopy Light Regimes and Understory Diversity of Vascular Plants in Temperate Mountain Forests

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that not just Airborne Laser Scanning, but also Sentinel‐2 can effectively estimate absolute canopy cover and canopy cover heterogeneity ‐ structural metrics that determine the subcanopy light regime, found to be linked to the vascular plant species richness in the understory of temperate mountain forests.
