Traditional meadow orchards are a good practice example for integrated #biodiversity #conservation in orchards.

Elia Guariento & Lisa Obwegs et al. from #EuracResearch|s Institute for #AlpineEnvironment show they support high multitaxonomic diversity.

Let’s preserve & learn from these agricultural practices and preserve a sustainable future! 🦋🐝🌹🦇

🐝🌼 Did you know that #SouthTyrol is home to 500 wild bee species?

Lisa Obwegs from the Institute for #AlpineEnvironment of #EuracResearch is diving deep into their diverse communities to study how human activities impact their health. 🌍💚

Long-term data collection + high resolution + alpine habitats + #OpenAccess = GREAT! 🥳

Our colleagues from #Eurac #AlpineEnvironment published a #DataPaper in #ScientificData with a bunch of climatic data along an elevational gradient.

The data come from an LT(S)ER area in #Vinschgau, #SouthTyrol, #italy

Installing some #alpine pittfall traps for #SoilFauna is fun and sometimes a bit challenging 🤠

However, the #BiodiversityMonitoringSouthTyrol investigates also the #SoilBiodiversity in the lowland and this year also the high alpine up to 3100m.

Here photos from the Endkopf (2627m) looking at the Reschensee in #Vinschgau, #SouthTyrol, #Italy.
