🌍 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.

🧬 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 😎

Hi everyone,

A (reluctant) newbie to #mastodon, I am setting up camp here now in the event that #twitter breaks down...

I 'm hoping this place can be an efficient, rewarding, friendly, fun platform to communicate about some of my favourite topics, such as #science #biodiversity #plants #ecology #mountains #AlpineEcology #GlobalChange #ClimateCrisis #NatureCrisis #WomenInStem #EquityInStem #WomenInScience #ScienceChatter #PhDChat #ProudSupervisor
