River hydromorphological processes have a key role to provide ecosystem services (ES) in Alpine Space. The HyMoCARES project has developed a conceptual framework, currently not available, and operational tools to integrate ES in Alpine river basin planning and management, with a special focus on factors affecting river hydromorphology. Particular care will be devoted to identify actual [...]

Ecosystems and their services go beyond national borders and therefore need a transnational approach for their protection, sustainable use, management and risk prevention. As a basis for joint action, public authorities, policy makers, NGOs, researchers and economic players – the AlpES target groups – need a common understanding of ecosystem services, comparable information on their [...]

The globally attractive Alpine Space cities face common challenges through growing land use pressure. It strains vulnerable natural & cultural assets of periurban landscapes calling for multifunctional solutions, intersectorial and intermunicipal collaboration. Yet, this increases implementation barriers: complexity, various ownership patterns, more stakeholders with non-excludable interests. [...]

The overall objective of the project RockTheAlps is to reinforce and strengthen the implementation of rockfall risk prevention policy and mitigation strategy support in line with a sustainable forest management approach. For achieving that objective, the first harmonized rockfall natural risk and protection forest mapping for the entire Alpine Space will be provided.
