How suitable are discrete choice experiments based on landscape indicators for estimating landscape preferences
Appealing landscapes contribute to human well-being, but landscape changes require the attention of management and planning. Although aesthetic landscape values are increasingly addressed in the context of cultural ecosystem services, their assessment is particularly challenging due to the subjectivity of landscape preferences. To map aesthetic landscape values across landscapes, discrete choice experiments in combination with landscape indicator…
Combining multiple socio-cultural approaches – Deeper insights into cultural ecosystem services of mountain lakes
Human interactions with freshwater blue spaces promote various benefits to well-being, which can be framed by the cultural ecosystem services (CES) concept. However, small natural mountain lakes remain scarcely explored in this regard, although a comprehensive understanding of their CES is needed to promote sustainable use. To support landscape management and planning, our aims were therefore to (1) assess multiple elements of human interactions …
An integrative approach to evaluate ecosystem services of mountain lakes using multi-criteria decision analysis
In view of the increasing demand for ecosystem services (ESs) and rising pressures from global change on mountain lakes, sustainable management strategies are increasingly needed. However, integrative assessments of ESs provided by small mountain lakes are lacking. This study adopted an integrative ES valuation perspective, applying multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to four exemplary mountain lakes in South Tyrol, Italy. With the involvemen…
Not too small to benefit society: Insights into perceived cultural ecosystem services of mountain lakes in the European Alps

How do anthropogenic pressures affect the provision of ecosystem services of small mountain lakes
Although anthropogenic activities affect the ecological conditions of mountain lakes worldwide, the impacts on human wellbeing, in terms of ecosystem services provided by lake ecosystems, remain unclear. This study identified potential impacts of anthropogenic pressures on seven key ecosystem services of small mountain lakes. The Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response framework enabled conceptualization of hypothetical impacts of multiple indicato…
Effects of past landscape changes on aesthetic landscape values in the European Alps
Understanding the consequences of land-use changes on aesthetic values associated with mountain landscapes is important for decision-making and landscape planning. While most research on aesthetic landscape values has been carried out at small scales and disregarding landscape changes, this study aims at analysing changes in aesthetic landscape values for three time steps between 1950 and 2010 across the European Alps. We first map aesthetic valu…
Ordering 'wilderness': Variations in public representations of wilderness and their spatial distributions
Wilderness has recently re-emerged as a key landscape quality in the public debate in Europe, experiencing renewed appreciation in terms of tourism and nature conservation. At the same time, wilderness has turned into a critical matter of conflict, calling for a better understanding of the public’s varied views on wilderness and the spatial localisation of areas of potential conflict. In this paper, we explore the plurality of existing public wil…
Functional spatial units are fundamental for modelling ecosystem services in mountain regions
The application of ecosystem services (ES) models that rely on primary biophysical data is considered as most promising to generate accurate maps for decision making. However, to effectively apply these modelling approaches for ES mapping, representative functional spatial units with distinct socio-ecological characteristics are needed, which allow the upscaling of measured variables from the plot level to the landscape scale. In this study, we p…
Soil Macroinvertebrate Distribution Along a Subalpine Land Use Transect
Little is known about the complex processes within the soil ecosystem and especially about soil animals and their role in supporting and sustaining ecosystem functioning in alpine soils. Currently, environmental and socioeconomic changes, such as climate change and the cessation of traditional cultivation, are influencing mountain ecosystems. Epi- and endogeic animals play an essential role in litter decomposition, humus formation, and pedogenesi…
A protected area between subsistence and development
Conserving nature and managing protected areas are fraught with risks, especially when done against the preferences of local communities. The relative dependency of local communities on ecosystem services, perceptions of the economic potential of a protected area by the local population, and the belief that the locals will share in the potential benefits of the protected area determine whether the protected area will be opposed, tolerated or supp…

Agricultural landscapes between intensification and abandonment: The expectations of the public in a Central-Alpine cross-border region
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, we carried out more than 3500 face-to-face interviews with locals and tourists in Tyrol (Austria) and South Tyrol (Italy). The questionnaire comprised (1) content-related questions and (2) questions to collect demographic data o…

Selected Aspects of Agro-structural Change within the Alps: A Comparison of Harmonised Agro-structural Indicators on a Municipal Level in the Alpine Convention Area
La région couverte par la Convention alpine a connu un recul important des exploitations agricoles (– 40 %) entre 1980 et 2000. Des régions stables (Autriche, Suisse) côtoient des régions profondément transformées (Italie, Slovénie). Les modifications agrostructurelles ont conduit à des bouleversements majeurs dans les structures de fonctionnement (agrandissement des exploitations, abandon de surface agricole utile, partages diversifiés des types…

Ecological and Land Use Studies Along Elevational Gradients
Mountain regions and UNESCO Mountain Biosphere Reserves (MBRs) encapsulate broad elevational ranges, cover large gradients of geological, topographical and climatic diversity, and thus host greater biodiversity than the surrounding lowlands. Much of the biological richness in MBRs results from the interaction of climatic contrasts and gravitational forces along elevational gradients. External forces such as atmospheric change and human land use i…

The Classification of Rural Areas in the European Context: Some Remarks on the Article of J. R. Blunden, W. T. R. Pryce and P. Dreyer, Regional Studies 32(2)
The reform of the European Structural Funds requires a classification of rural areas according to their level of economic development. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a tool that potentially offers advantages compared to classical classification methods. This paper analyses the strengths and weaknesses of an approach, proposed by Blunden et al. , 1998. It tries to generalize the conditions necessary to realize the potential of the ANNs for …
