Biological diversity is known to enhance the resilience of ecosystems to environmental
change. It is, however, unclear whether a high diversity of social actors analogously …

The participation of nonscientists in modeling projects/studies is increasingly employed to
fulfill different functions. However, it is not well investigated if and how explicitly these …

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 …

Context Human driven land-use and land-cover change (LULC) is considered to be among
the greatest ecological pressures in mountain regions. Over the past century, across the …

Central European grasslands are characterized by a wide range of different management
practices in close geographical proximity. Site‐specific management strategies strongly …

Globalization and climate change threaten the sustained provision of essential ecosystem
services (ES) for people living in and downstream of mountain regions. The increasing …

Ecosystem services (ES) modeling studies typically use a forecasting approach to predict
scenarios of future ES provision. Usually, these forecasts do not inform on how specific …

Background One way in which we make inferences about ecological processes is via
experimentation. Many ecological processes happen at landscape extents and it is at this …

Mountain farming sustains human well-being by providing various ecosystem services (ES).
In the last decades, socio-economic developments have led to worldwide changes in land …

In recent decades, research on mountains has become more inter-and transdisciplinary, but
a greater effort is needed if such research is to contribute to a societal transformation toward …
