High altitude environments are experiencing more rapid changes in temperature than the global average with the risk of losing essential ecosystem services in mountain environments. The Carpathians Mountains are regarded as hosting Europe's most pri...

The role of fire in landscape dynamics : an example of two sediment records from the Rodna Mountains, northern Romanian Carpathians (2015)
Journal Article
Carpathians. CATENA, 137(2), 432-440. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.catena.2015.10.021

Fire is an important disturbance agent worldwide and one of the major causes of geomorphological change. Dependent on its characteristics (size, duration, temperature), fire induces changes in soil stability, modifying infiltration and promoting soi...

The Hercynian mountain ranges were islands of mountain glaciation and alpine tundra in a Central European ice-free corridor during the Late Pleistocene. Today they are notable areas of glacial landforms, alpine-forest free areas, peatlands and woodla...

Proxy-based reconstructions of climate variability over the last millennium provide important insights for understanding current climate change within a long-term context. Past hydrological changes are particularly difficult to reconstruct, yet rainf... Read More about Last millennium hydro-climate variability in Central–Eastern Europe (Northern Carpathians, Romania).

Aim The forest steppe of the Transylvanian Plain is a landscape of exceptionally diverse steppe-like and semi-natural grasslands. Is this vegetation a remnant of a once continuous temperate forest extensively cleared by humans, or has the area, sin...

Peatlands are an important store of soil carbon, and play a vital role in global carbon cycling, and when located in close proximity to urban and industrial areas, can also act as sinks of atmospherically deposited heavy metals. Large areas of the UK... Read More about Peatland restoration : controls on sediment production and reductions in carbon and pollutant export.
