In recent decades, raptors have become gradually more protected in almost all European countries, but their decline often persists, due to pollution, habitat alteration and fragmentation, or to human direct/indirect disturbance (Tucker & Heath, 1994). Peregrine Falco peregrinus populations suffered a dramatic decline during the 1950s and 1960s in the boreal hemisphere, following the adoption of...

The timing of the disappearance of the snow cover in spring, or snow melt day (SMD), is a key parameter controlling the carbon dioxide balance between the northern mire and heath ecosystems and the atmosphere. We present a simple method for the determination of the SMD using a satellite-based surface albedo product (SAL). The method is based on the local change of albedo from higher wintertime ...
