🌍 New publication alert!

In Ecography, we show how landscape connectivity and climate dynamics shape plant endemism hotspots in the Hengduan Mountains. Endemism peaks at ~3,000–4,000 m, highlighting the complex interplay of geography and biodiversity.

🌴Since my undergraduate time, I wanted to see the tropical alpine biome with its "giant rosette" species. On our #biome project fieldtrip in #Ecuador, I finally met #Espeletia picnophylla spp. angelensis, in El Angel. So happy! Magic!

Kudzu wächst extrem schnell, bildet massive Wurzelknollen und vermehrt sich generativ. Wurzelhalsschnitte mit mindestens zwei Kontrollen im Juli und September sowie Nachkontrollen in den Folgejahren wirken äusserst effizient – eine erfolgreiche Tilgung ist möglich. #Neophyten #Waldschutz
Der Kudzu - quo vadis?
Kudzu *(Pueraria lobata)* ist eine aus Asien stammende invasive Liane, die sich durch ein extrem schnelles Wachstum auszeichnet. Dank einer effektiven mechanischen Bekämpfung (Schnitt unterhalb des Wu...

🚨 New paper!

Co-authored by VAW colleagues Marijn van der Meer & @matthias-huss.bsky.social , this new paper present the Mass Balance Machine (MBM), an XGBoost model that predicts seasonal glacier mass balance from sparse data and often beats traditional models.

Are we at all prepared for future climate disasters?

“The Chilean megadrought was never forecast in any climate model. The existing models even showed absurd likelihoods for such an extreme event. And yet, it has happened and is still ongoing,” says ISTA professor Francesca Pellicciotti.
