Overview

Demonstrates the short-term positive impact of amateur harvesting on alpine Artemisia plant dynamics, highlighting sustainability challenges.

Key Points

  • The research aims to explore the effects of amateur harvesting on two alpine Artemisia species and the related ecological conditions.
  • Conducted a 3-year study (2021-2023) in 39 sites of the Southern Alps.
  • Monitored two species: Artemisia glacialis and Artemisia umbelliformis.
  • Assessed plant responses and mortality rates in relation to harvesting and ecological conditions.
  • Harvesting positively affects stem production for both species across the years.
  • Mortality rates were low during the 3-year study.
  • The transition from vegetative to flowering in A. glacialis is influenced by ecological conditions.
