The assessment was conducted across a vast geographic area consisting of 11 protected areas in the Alpine North Environmental Zone in Norway.
Plant community distribution and development in Valle dell'Avio reflects the frequency and intensity of the processes that built composite alpine debris cones, creating environmental gradients and/or generating new habitats.
Discarded oxygen and cooking gas cylinders, ropes, tents, glasses, beer cans, plastic and even the remains of a helicopter made up 75 artworks commissioned for a Kathmandu exhibition in 2012, highlighting the environmental impact of alpine tourism.
Mixing extended shots of snowy New England forests — Mr. Cisneros lives on a farm in New Hampshire — with computer-generated images of roller-coaster rides among alpine peaks, it somehow brings environmental activism, social communalism, the American sublime and Werner Herzog together in a haunting combination.
In order to obtain a comprehensive understanding about the real indoor thermal environment and the residents' thermal comfort status in Tibet, a field investigation of residential buildings was conducted in the Tibetan Alpine region with on-site environmental parameter measurements and a simultaneous survey using a subjective thermal comfort questionnaire.
Thus, the observed relationships between diatom β-diversity and both latitude and altitude (Fig. 4) confer greater ecological responses among arctic and alpine lakes to 20th century environmental changes than to natural perturbations, including the LIA cold spell.
During this period of unprecedented environmental change, the Alpine whitefish radiation experienced a loss of around 38% of its pre-eutrophication species richness [ 8].
Thereby, we identified possible environmental constraints when exploiting Alpine RE potentials and generated recommendations for future strategies on expanding RE.
The environmental units range from alpine environments to semi arid lowlands (over a wide volcanic piedmont) where crops and urban development predominate.
The German guidelines were chosen for their traditional referential role, the Swiss norm for its peculiar biodiversity approach, the Italian one for its application on a territory with remarkably heterogeneous environmental conditions, stretching from Alpine to Mediterranean ecosystems.
