The work is devoted to the study of the physiological mechanisms of adaptation of young horses of the Transbaikal breed. The object of research was horse colts and fillies at different age periods. It was found that colts at different age periods grew and developed more intensively compared to...

This paper uses the case of genomics-assisted selective breeding in Pacific salmon hatcheries to investigate how people weigh the risks of adapting nature to changing climate conditions. Drawing on 105 interviews with people involved in salmon management, this study embeds risk assessments of...

This article aims to compare different forest adaptation strategies based on stand diversification from an economic perspective in order to reduce extreme drought- and windstorm-induced risks of dieback. We tested the efficiency of the strategies individually and then combined through a simulation...

Erthesina fullo (Thunberg) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is an invasive pest that has recently been detected in Europe (2017) and South America (2021). Due to polyphagia and temperature adaptation, this pest has a high risk of establishing in introduced areas. However, despite recent invasion events,...

Disturbances are increasingly becoming a challenge for the management of forest ecosystems. In extreme cases, tipping points can be reached leading to a fundamental change in ecosystems and causing distinct decreases in ecosystem ser- vices' supply and biodiversity. In this study, we are presenting ...

Climate change exerts an increasingly strong influence on Swiss forest ecosystems. Changes in site conditions and the increased risk of disturbances (droughts, windthrow, storms) have a considerable negative impact on the silvicultural potential of forests. However, these effects can be mitigated...

This article talks about the impacts of global warming and adaptation measures on a farm in the Valais Pre-Alps, specifically a forest where silviculture is adapted to be resilient to climate and disease. In summary, forest professionals try to prepare the forest as well as possible so that it can...

In this article, Forestry Region Zofingen (FBRZ) has developed guidelines to adapt its 1,700 hectares of forest to the changing climate. Despite the uncertainties for the future, FBRZ has developed guidelines specifically for mixed coniferous forests. The guidelines recommend that the proportion of ...

Climate change is a major determinant of shifts in species' distribution ranges and habitat suitability. The Arctic is one of the planet's most rapidly warming regions, yet biogeographic responses to contemporary climate change remain unknown for most cold-adapted mammalian species. Using the...

The Arctic region is one of the most exposed to the global climate change. Russia accounts for more than a half of the whole Arctic territory and population and allocates most of the economic activity of the region. From the Soviet time till now, the Arctic region also accounts for a substantial...
