River networks represent the largest biogeochemical nexus between the continents, ocean and atmosphere. Our current understanding of the role of rivers in the global carbon cycle remains limited, which makes it difficult to predict how global change may al ...
Concurrent rehabilitation alternatives were evaluated for a 1900 m reach of the River Etsch in northern Italy using a recently developed Hydro Morphological Index of Diversity (HMID) model. HMID is a new tool enabling quantitative assessments of river rest ...
In this letter, we recall that young people's concerns about climate change are based on our best scientific knowledge and that the measures taken so far by our authorities to protect the climate and the biosphere are far from up to the threat. We therefor ...

The ever-increasing requirements for reliability and quality of supply suggest to enable the self-healing features of modern distribution networks. Within the context of Active Distribution Networks (ADNs), new, fast and efficient restoration strategies ca ...
Human-assisted, trans-generational exposure to ocean warming and acidification has been proposed as a conservation and/or restoration tool to produce resilient offspring. To improve our understanding of the need for and the efficacy of this approach, we ch ...
Phytotechnologies are ecotechnologies relating to the use of vegetation, to resolve environmental problems in a watershed management, by prevention of landscape degradation, remediation and restoration of degraded ecosystems, kontrol of environmental proce ...
Saproxylic (dead-wood-associated) and old-growth species are among the most threatened species in European forest ecosystems, as they are susceptible to intensive forest management. Identifying areas with particular relevant features of biodiversity is of ...
The subject of this thesis is image restoration, that is, deconvolution and denoising. Our work is motivated by applications in the rapidly expanding field of biological imaging and in particular fluorescence microscopy. Inverse problems in this area typic ...
Cutover peatlands cover large surfaces of high potential value for biodiversity and carbon sequestration function if successfully restored but the evaluation of restoration success is not straighforward. We assessed the bioindicator value of organic mat ...
