👋 Hello Mastodon!
We are the Ecosystem & Landscape Ecology Group at the University of Innsbruck 🌿⛰️

Our research explores #biodiversity ecosystem functions & services, land-use change, and sustainability in #mountain environments.

Follow us for updates on our projects, fieldwork insights, and more!

The second day of #LBS2025 conference is about to start, and so is the onslaught of presentations from @digigeolab members and alumni on topics like #mobility #BigData #GIScience #MachineLearning #NatureRecreation #Segregation #EcosystemServices #Geography

I have the dubious honor of the very last presentation of the day, acting as the firewall between the scientific program and the conference dinner. Let's see how many turn up 😅

I'm pleased to share this recently published paper led by University of San Francisco undergraduate student Alex Meza in which I played the smallest part. In it, we examine light pollution as a threat to #pollinators that support #Indigenous #FoodSecurity and sovereignty.

Radware Bot Manager Captcha

The @‌IPBES secretariat proudly worked >10 yrs under the leadership of Dr. Anne Larigauderie until her retirement last week.

Her legacy will be the continuation of our work to strengthen the science-policy interface for #biodiversity and #EcosystemServices.

Corbu Case Study: Rediscovering the Authentic Spring Season
The Romanian PRO-Coast member TotalPR presents an insightful case study on Corbu—a rural commune in Constanța County, nestled within the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. it highlights the balance between tourism and conservation, a model for responsible rural development. #socioecologicalsystems #NBS #stakeholderengagement #citizenscience #behaviouralchange #socialtransformation #biodiversityconservation #ecosystemservices
Exciting News from Slovenia!
@Pro_Coast partner University of Primorska, has made significant strides in presenting the PRO-Coast project. Their focus on the case study "Strunjan Landscape Park has garnered recognition, as it has been selected as one of the few projects to be showcased at a prestigious Open Science Festival in Ljubljana. #Biodiversity #biodiversityconservation

now I’m running spatial models trying to prove that trees & birdsong are part of economic infrastructure too.

wild upgrade tbh.

Understanding the connections between #FunctionalTraits and #EcosystemServices can help address #ClimateChange and #HumanActivities. So Cheng Zheng et al. used the #Response–effectTraitFramework to disentangle the effects of #EnvironmentalChange on the ecosystem services.
