DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8592
Abstract: Abstract Biomass temporal stability plays a key role in maintaining sustainable ecosystem functions and services of grasslands, and climate change has exerted a profound impact on plant biomass. However, it remains unclear how the community… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8703
Abstract: Abstract The Himalaya–Hengduan Mountain region is one of the hotspots of biodiversity research. The uplift of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and the Quaternary glaciation caused great environmental changes in this region, and the responses of… read more here.

Semi‐idealized simulations of wintertime flows and pollutant transport in an Alpine valley. Part II: Passive tracer tracking
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society"
DOI: 10.1002/qj.3710
Abstract: Under wintertime quiescent conditions, thermally driven circulations represent one of the only sources of tracer dispersion over mountainous terrain. Those circulations can be unequally developed at a valley scale since they strongly depend on local… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00015-016-0238-z
Abstract: The structure of Alpine-type orogenic belts is widely assumed to have been strongly influenced by the inherited structure of the rifted continental margins from which they were formed. The challenge lies in deciphering these influences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00015-017-0265-4
Abstract: The significance of late-stage fracturing in the European Alps in a large geodynamic context is reappraised by studying brittle deformations over the entire belt. In the internal Western Alps, paleostress datasets display a major occurrence… read more here.

Habitat-specific effects of flowering advance on fruit-set success of alpine plants: a long-term record of flowering phenology and fruit-set success of Rhododendron aureum
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Alpine Botany"
DOI: 10.1007/s00035-021-00248-9
Abstract: Global warming tends to accelerate flowering phenology of alpine plants, and it may cause a decrease in fruit production due to lower pollinator activity and/or higher risk of frost damage earlier in the season. Because… read more here.

Flowering phenology in alpine grassland strongly responds to shifts in snowmelt but weakly to summer drought
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Alpine Botany"
DOI: 10.1007/s00035-021-00252-z
Abstract: Alpine plants complete their seasonal phenological cycle during two to three snow-free months. Under climate change, snowmelt advances and the risk of summer droughts increases. Yet, photoperiodism may prevent alpine plants from benefiting from an… read more here.
