Ökosystemleistungen in den Alpen
(2017)Das Konzept der Ökosystemleistungen wird nicht nur in wissenschaftlichen Kreisen weltweit intensiv diskutiert, sondern entwickelt sich zunehmend zu einem natur- und umweltschutzpolitischen Instrument. Die Erfassung und ... -
Down to future: Transplanted mountain meadows react with increasing phytomass or shifting species composition
(2016)Manipulative approaches under natural conditions are fundamental for understanding impacts of climate warming on grassland (agro-) ecosystems. In this paper we present 3 years of data from two simultaneously conducted ... -
Agricultural landscapes between intensification and abandonment: the expectations of the public in a Central-Alpine cross-border region
(2017)The aim of this study is to find out what locals and tourists in a Central-Alpine, multilingual cross-border region expect from an Alpine landscape, with a special focus on agriculture. Using a standardised questionnaire, ... -
Climate Change versus Land-Use Change - which affects the landscape more?
(2017)Land use and climate change are both strong drivers of landscape transformation. Using a representative valley of the Central Alps (Stubai Valley, Tyrol, Austria) we assess (1) the historical and likely future spatial ... -
Identifying and mapping the tourists' perception of cultural ecosystem services: A case study from an Alpine region
(2016)Landscapes provide an array of services to society, from the provision of food and material, to the provision of cultural ecosystem services such as recreation, aesthetics or spirituality. Studies on cultural ecosystem ... -
Exploring socio-cultural perceptions of ecosystem service categories: The influence of socio-demographic factors and landscape type
(2016)The socio-cultural assessment of ecosystem services has been proposed as a promising tool for eliciting people’s preferences towards ecosystem services. Despite an increasing integration of the socio-cultural perspective ... -

Decline of rare and specialist species across multiple taxonomic groups after grassland intensification and abandonment
(2018)Traditionally managed mountain grasslands are declining as a result of abandonment or intensification of management. Based on a common chronosequence approach we investigated species compositions of 16 taxonomic groups on ... -
Indigenous livestock breeds as indicators for cultural ecosystem services: A spatial analysis within the Alpine Space
(2018)Great changes have occurred in livestock management in recent decades that have been due to increased specialization and mechanization. In combination with a strong focus on high-yielding breeds and breeds that mainly offer ... -
Using land use/land cover trajectories to uncover ecosystem service patterns across the Alps
(2017)Managing multiple ecosystem services (ES) in agricultural landscapes is a challenging task, especially in regions with complex topographical and agro-ecological conditions. These challenges require ES assessment approaches ...
