Mountain treelines have moved upward 20.2 m on average since the 1980s; this upward shift is more pronounced in the tropics than in temperate regions: bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/...
Alpine lake with European larches
Lago delle Streghe - Alpe Veglia and Alpe Devero Natural Park; Baceno (VB, Italy)
Amazing memories from June 2021 surveys in the Italian Alps hunting for treelines.
Old dry-stone terrace wall in a chestnut forest near Locarno, Switzerland. Tree roots and remaining of dead trees still contain collapsed stones, with exposed soil and fallen leaves suggesting ongoing erosion on a steep slope.
Abandoned terraces above Locarno, Switzerland.
As the new forests take over old dry-stone walls, the remaining of dead chestnuts still mantain some protective function. Land abandonment here means changing landscapes and unstable slopes.

a great collaborative effort for what was the last chapter of my PhD
Maps of the (a) Alps and (b) Piedmont Region with occurrences of the local (Camerano et al., 2017) and broad inventory (EU-Forest; Mauri et al., 2017).
🌲🌳Paper alert: “Species distribution models built with local species data perform better for current time, but suffer from niche truncation”
A huge effort by @nico-anselmetto.bsky.social
