Healthy, natural forests: responding to climate change! cc.alps: CIPRA's demands for forest management
by zopemaster — published Mar 20, 2012 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:14 AM — filed under: ,
As forestry measures have long-term effects, adaptation of the forests to new climate conditions is urgently needed - but it should be initiated with great caution. The carbon storage ability of forests has to be exploited. Wood should first be used as a raw and building material; only under certain circumstances it should be used for heating. Short regional exploitation cycles are to be created. Natural forests should be fostered as they are more resilient to climate change. Forest owners who in the interest of climate protection give up part of their earnings should be compensated. Finally targeted research into practical climate adaptation measures has to become an important long-term task.

Insufficient snowfall a cause of recessive glaciers
by zopemaster — published Jun 16, 2005 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:04 AM — filed under: , , ,
Lower winter precipitation has been one of the causes, along with global warming, behind melting glaciers over the past 150 years. These are the main findings of a study by researchers at the Laboratoire de glaciologie et géophysique de Grenoble/F and the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zurich/CH, published in the Geophysical Research Letters.

Joint action on climate change
by zopemaster — published Jul 13, 2012 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:07 AM — filed under: , ,
The forests of the Alps will only be able to cope with climate change if the findings from all the various specialist fields are pooled together. And that requires new forms of co-operation and communication.
