🌍 Alpine ecosystems are already climate-sensitive. If early life stages are compromised, long-term persistence of alpine species could be at risk.
Climate change doesn’t just affect adult plants, it reshapes the next generation. (9/9)

100 years ago, Carl Schroeter published the extraordinary book "Das Pflanzenleben der Alpen" (Plant Life of the Alps). Of course, our knowledge largely progressed since then. I am still impressed, how much of what is written is still textbook knowledge and how much they knew already, back then.

Interested in pursuing your PhD in Alpine Ecology? How do ecosystems emerge after glacial retreat? Want to work in a thriving group in Halle (Germany)? So work with us and apply for the position as a PhD researcher on the development of vegetation and the associated microbiome in Glacier forelands.

🧬 Adaptation to cold is a major evolutionary force shaping alpine plants.
But biotic interactions, like herbivory, also play a role, even in the harshest environments. (9/9)

Last field work day for 2024 🤠
Snowy, not too cold but very nice view over the #LTSER area Matschertal/Val Mazia.

Replaced a #SoilTemp logger at 2500m that was destroyed by cows...
No metal cage resists a cow's rage 🐄

Further, checked on of #EuracResearch|s #AlpEnv meteo station at 2400m.

NEW PAPER OUT!

Matteo Dainese led this review about “Global change experiments in mountain ecosystems”.

Have a look at it, download and read it, it is #OpenAccess and for free ;)

What an intensive week of #alpine #SoilBiodiversity sampling. Despite being holidays in 🇮🇹, we climbed up #mountains in 🇦🇹 in the #NationalParkHoheTauern for our #SnowBeds project (w/ @uniinnsbruck & @unibern).

Such a great view 😎
