Kozjak and the Pohorje mountains. Three communities of the order Androsacetalia vandellii (Asplenietea trichomanis) were recognized: Campanulo cochleariifoliae-Primuletum villosae ass. nova (Androsacion vandellii ), Woodsio ilvensis-Asplenietum septentrionalis (Asplenion septentrionalis) and Hypno-Polypodietum (Hypno-Polypodion vulgaris). The communities are distinguished by altitude, light intensity, temperature and the number of endemic species, south-European orophytes or cosmopolite species. Altitude is a signifi cant factor aff ecting the fl oristic composition of the studied vegetation. Keywords: chasmophytic -

(2015): Exploring patterns of variation within the central-European Tephroseris longifolia agg.: karyological and morphological study. – Preslia 87: 163–194. Tephroseris longifolia agg. is an intricate complex of perennial outcrossing herbaceous plants. Recently, five subspecies with rather separate distributions and different geographic patterns were assigned to the aggregate: T. longifolia subsp. longifolia, subsp. pseudocrispa and subsp. gaudinii predominate in the Eastern Alps; the distribution of subsp. brachychaeta is confined to the northern and central Apennines and subsp. moravica is endemic in the Western Carpathians. Carpathian taxon T. l. subsp. moravica is known only from nine localities in Slovakia and the Czech Republic and is treated as an endangered taxon of European importance (according to Natura 2000 network). As the taxonomy of this aggregate is not comprehensively elaborated the aim of this study was to detect variability within the Tephroseris longifolia agg. -

PRESS PACK WINTER 2020 / 2021 savoie mont blanc Located between lakes and mountains, Savoie Mont Blanc is a beautiful area for a winter break. Savoie Mont Blanc has 110 ski resorts, including some world-famous ones such as Val d’Isère, Méribel, Courchevel, Chamonix… and many more. But there are also some smaller ones, which are not well-known by British skiers. This winter could be the ideal time to visit a smaller resort for alpine skiing and also to try some other winter sport activities, such as cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. These eco-friendly activities are the perfect way to peacefully enjoy the beautiful vistas and the pure mountain air, while coming back super-fit from your holiday. If you opt for slow travel, why not stop for a few nights before or after going to a ski resort? There are many charming hotels in the pretty towns of Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains and Annecy, as well as by the lakes and in the vineyards. In the valleys and mountains, more and more hotels and residences are eco-friendly. This sustainable trend is being taken up by restaurants too, which are offering more and more organic, local and seasonal produce. Whatever type of winter holiday you choose, Savoie Mont Blanc is the perfect place to reboot and feel re-energised once back home. Savoie Mont Blanc is easy to access by plane (airports include Chambéry, Grenoble, Lyon and Geneva) and car. Although there is no Snowtrain this winter, Savoie Mont Blanc is still easily accessible by train: take the Eurostar to Paris or Lille, then the TGV to Chambéry or Annecy (it takes less than 3 hours from Paris to Chambéry and less than 4 hours for Annecy). -

The exclusive 4*S resort at the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn is growing with the region and has extended its facilities and services since autumn 2019. With additional 52 nature & garden rooms, a spectacular new glass panorama pool and many other innovative highlights, the 4*S resort provides its guests an unparalleled and unforgettable holiday. For all who want to scale new heights. The popular TAUERN SPA extended its offer in November 2019 and delights it´s guest with ambitious innovations and service upgrades right across the hotel, SPA, rooms and culinary services. The existing accommodation has been extended northwards and north-eastwards and includes 52 new garden & nature rooms on four levels. The architecture of the extension, with its organic shape and green roof, blends harmoniously into the landscape. Turning dreams (and rooms) into reality The new garden & nature rooms mainly use natural materials such as swiss stone pine, sandstone, leather and wool to create a unique, and cosy ambiance. The philosophy here is all about green & clean living: High-quality sleeping systems, a healthness bath and the most modern technical equipment are part of the complete equipment of every room. Digital detox at it´s best: a button, that can be used to deactivate disturbing power sources around the head area, helps you to get deep and healthy sleep. -
Technical Note About the Monitoring of Hydromorphological Restoration/Management of the Drau River (Carinthia, Austria)
Technical note about the monitoring of hydromorphological restoration/management of the Drau River (Carinthia, Austria) BOKU 1 1. General presentation of the study site The study site at the Austrian Drau River is located in the Upper Drau valley in the South of Austria in the region of Carinthia, mainly focussing on two restored reaches near the villages of Kleblach (Figure 1a) and Obergottesfeld. This area is part of the Austrian Alps; elevations reach from around 550 m up to more than 3000 m. The catchment basin drains around 2445 km² and covers parts of the southern limestone Alps as well as east alpine crystalline. The dominant sediment is gravel with a d50 diameter of 25 mm. Sediment input mainly results from upstream active torrents in the catchment. The channel slope at the study site is approximately 0.002. The mean discharge is about 74 m³/s; a one-year flood reaches 320m³/s. Floods mostly occur in spring when snowmelt – and also glacier melt - is released into the basin, or in summer after thunderstorms. The discharge regime can be described as strongly pronounced nivo-glacial with a maximum discharge in June (Mader, 1996). The mean annual rainfall in Sachsenburg (close to the study site) is around 982 mm/a (BMFLUW, 2014). Historically, the Drau River at the studied reach was a wandering river (Figure 1b), which results from a transition from a braided to a meandering morphology, before it was regulated and finally restored. At the study site the valley is unconfined with presence of an alluvial forest whereas most parts of the Drau River are straightened and narrowed with a narrow alluvial forest zone left. -

Dwelling Lichens After Glacier Retreat in the European Alps
Journal of Biogeography (J. Biogeogr.)

Plant Sciences, NAWI Graz, University of 3 Graz, 8010 Graz, Austria, Department of Location European Alps (Austria, Switzerland and Italy). Animal Ecology and Tropical Biology, Biocenter, University of Wurzburg,€ 97074 Methods Five glacier forelands subjected to relevant glacier retreat during the Wurzburg,€ Germany last century were investigated. In each glacier foreland, three successional stages were selected at increasing distance from the glacier, corresponding to a gradi- ent of time since deglaciation between 25 and 160 years. In each successional stage, soil-dwelling lichens were surveyed within five 1 9 1 m plots. In addi- tion to a classical ecological framework, based on species richness and compo- sition, we applied a functional approach to better elucidate community assembly mechanisms. Results A positive relationship was found between species richness and time since deglaciation indicating that richer lichen communities can be found at increasing terrain ageing. This pattern was associated with compositional shifts, suggesting that different community assemblages can be found along the suc- cessional stages. The analysis of b-diversity revealed a significant nested pattern of species assemblages along the gradient (i.e. earlier successional stages hosted a subset of the species already established in older successional stages), while the turnover component was less relevant. -
