Climate and land-use changes are main drivers of insect declines, but their combined effects have not yet been quantified over large spatiotemporal scales. We analysed in the distribution (mean occupancy squares) 390 species (butterflies, grasshoppers, dragonflies), using 1.45 million records from across bioclimatic gradients Switzerland between 1980 2020. found no overall decline, strong increases decreases distributions different species. For that showed strongest (25% quantile), average...
Modeling of future water systems at the regional scale is a difficult task due to complexity current structures (multiple competing uses, multiple actors, formal and informal rules) both temporally spatially. Representing this in modeling process challenge that can be addressed by an interdisciplinary holistic approach. The assessment system Crans‐Montana‐Sierre area (Switzerland) its evolution until 2050 were tackled combining glaciological, hydrogeological, hydrological measurements with...
We present and test a conceptual methodological approach for interdisciplinary sustainability assessments of water governance systems based on what we call the wheel. The combines transparent identification principles, their regional contextualization through sub-principles (indicators), scoring these indicators deliberative dialogue within an team researchers, taking into account various qualitative quantitative research results. was applied to assessment complex system in Swiss Alps....
Das nationale Forschungsprogramm NFP 61 «Nachhaltige Wassernutzung » des Schweizerischen Nationalfonds hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, wissenschaftliche Grundlagen zur nachhaltigen Wasserbewirtschaftung in der Schweiz zu liefern. Als Teil dieses Forschungsvorhabens wurde im Rahmen Projektes MontanAqua die Region Crans-Montana-Sierre (Wallis) untersucht. Es ging dabei darum, enger Zusammenarbeit mit den betroffenen Akteuren nachhaltige Wassernutzungsstrategien fur Zukunft entwickeln. vertieft...
Transdisciplinary research is considered an appropriate mode of knowledge production in the search for pathways towards a more sustainable governance natural resources. However, co-production new between scientists different disciplines and nonacademic stakeholders challenge that requires novel designs, methods, approaches. The MontanAqua team has tackled this by designing implementing innovative process knowledge. An important element was assessment communication tool known as “the...
Moths are an important part of terrestrial insect diversity and contribute substantially to ecosys-tem functioning. Yet, how their activity varies with the season different biotic abiotic factors (elevation, weather, land use) simultaneously linked moth community characteristics still poorly understood. We analysed a vast dataset from Switzerland collected by single expert across 50 years containing data 2.8 Mio individuals (1,045 species), covering whole yearly cycle. Using regression...
Souvent inadaptes aux exigences actuelles, parfois mal construits, les bâtiments administratifs existants orientent la pratique architecturale vers de nouvelles interrogations, en requerant mise place d'approches specifiques. Parallelement, preoccupations d'ordre environnemental, qui se sont accrues depuis crise petroliere des annees septante pour aboutir au concept developpement durable, confrontent recherche qualite a une meilleure adequation avec ses principes physiques. Le projet...
