Permafrost thaw affects the chemistry of mountain ponds
Permafrost is warming and thawing due to climate change. Among the related effects, water quality modification has gained increasing attention globally. Nevertheless, the impacts of diffuse permafrost thaw on water chemistry in high-mountain areas remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigated the seasonal and interannual variability of water chemistry of two close-by ponds located in high-elevation catchments (European Alps, NW Italy) with and…
Global evidence that cold rocky landforms support icy springs in warming mountains
Climate change is reducing the extent of cold aquatic habitats and their unique biodiversity in mountain areas. However, a variety of cold rocky landforms (CRLs) are thermally buffered and feed cold springs (<2 °C) that may represent climate refugia for cold-adapted organisms. These landforms, hitherto overlooked by freshwater research, include rock glaciers, debris-covered glaciers, talus slopes, protalus ramparts, and young moraines. Here, we i…
Unprecedented snow-drought conditions in the Italian Alps during the early 2020s
Snow represents a fundamental water resource for mountain and lowland areas. Changes in the frequency and magnitude of snow droughts can significantly impact societies and ecosystems that rely on snowmelt to satisfy their water demands. Here we documented and quantified the snow drought that affected the Italian Alps during the early 2020s. We used 15 long-term snow-depth series (period 1930–2023, elevation range: 864–2200 m a.s.l.) to simulate t…
Integrated grey-green management of avalanche risk
Soil types of Aosta Valley (NW-Italy)
The first soil map of the whole Aosta Valley Region was produced at the 1:100,000 scale. We used 691 soil profiles, attributed to 16 Cartographic (soil) Units, spatialized using a Maximum Likelihood Estimation model available in ArcGIS software. Six maps were used as base layers, representing the most important soil-forming factors: parent material, vegetation/land use, mean annual precipitation, elevation, absolute aspect and slope angle. The Ma…
Snow gliding susceptibility
Snow gliding, though a slow process, should be considered as important as the faster snow avalanche flows, as it can similarly produce severe damage to buildings and infrastructure. Snow gliding depends on snowpack properties, land cover and terrain parameters. Among these driving factors, in this work, we focus on stationary factors, that is, those that are considered features related to terrain and land cover, in particular those that could be …
Land suitability map for mountain viticulture
Mountain vineyards are a valuable resource for high quality wine production and landscape conservation.A suitability map (1: 50.000) for mountain vineyard cultivation was created in GIS environment for a study area located in Aosta Valley (NW Italy).We considered the following environmental variables that are known to influence wine production: slope, aspect, altitude, soil, obtaining a suitability map that allowed to identify the areas that can …
