We report here four new localities for the mountain glass snail Hessemilimax kotulae (Westerlund, 1883) in the northeast part of France. These new records extend the range of this species considerably within the Vosges Mountains, where it was previously known from only a single site. Specimens were found at the base of or in scree slopes facing mainly north or northeast or along streams in fir or mixed forests, at elevations between 863 and 1145 m. Because H. kotulae is difficult to find and identify, we provide the description of habitats where the species has been found and the associated gastropod assemblages as well as morphological and anatomical characters in order to facilitate its identification by non-malacological conservationists. Finally, we revised the species conservation status on the French Red List. We further discuss the conservation of land snails that reach the upper limit of their distribution at the highest elevations of the low mountain ranges in north-eastern France, in the context of global warming.

Processing of gravity and magnetic maps shows that the basement of the Upper Rhine Graben area is characterized by a series of NE-SW trending discontinuities and elongated structures, identified in outcrops in the Vosges, Black Forest, and the Odenwald Mountains. They form a 40 km wide, N30-40°s triking, sinistral wrench-zone that, in the Visean, shifted the Variscan and pre-Variscan structures by at least 43 km to the NE. Wrenching was associated with emplacement of several generations of plutonic bodies emplaced in the time range 340-325 Ma. The subvertical, NE-SW trending discontinuities in the basement acted as zones of weakness, susceptible to reactivation by subsequent tectonism. The first reactivation, marked by mineralizations and palaeomagnetic overprinting along NE-SW faults of the Vosges Mountains, results from the Liassic NW-SE extension contemporaneous with the break-up of Pangea. The major reactivation occurred during the Late Eocene N-S compression and the Early-Middle Oligocene E-W extension. The NE-SW striking basement discontinuities were successively reactivated as sinistral strike-slip faults, and as oblique normal faults. Elongated depocenters appear to form in association with reactivated Variscan wrench faults. Some of the recent earthquakes are located on NE-SW striking Variscan fault zones, and show sinistral strikeslip focal mechanisms with the same direction, suggesting also present reactivation.

“…We briefly introduce the complex tectonics and petrology of the study site, which is linked to the evolution of the Variscan belt from the Lower and Upper Carboniferous times [36]. It is located south of the Rhenohercynian zone and within the Saxothuringian unit, northern sector of the Lalaye-Lubine dislocation [41], a north-east-striking fractured and faulted zone, that separates the Saxothuringian and Moldanubian belts, i.e. the very low grade and the high grade metamorphic rocks units respectively [1,15].…”

We consider a series of hydrogeophysical techniques that provide a multiscale investigation of the water content in the vadose zone and of the perched aquifer at the experimental site of ''La Soutte'' in the Vosges Mountains (France). It is located in a catchment area where several springs and streams occur along fractured volcanic and weathered plutonic rocks. The site is the object of a long-term study that uses both continuous and repeated measurements to monitor hydrogeological processes. The main results from AMT and DC resistivity techniques allow the determination of a high-resolution 3D resistivity model over a large range of depths (from 10 0 to 10 3 m). We discuss their use and propose a hydrogeological model (porosity, water conductivity and water content). We also use MRS and GPR for a detailed investigation of the shallow part of the catchment that consists of soil and weathered rocks of highly varying thickness (0 to 15 m). MRS is used to map the thickness and total water volume content by unit surface of the saturated weathered zone. It also yields estimates of the vadose zone thickness through the depth to the top of the saturated zone. Moreover, we show results from GPR CMP measurements that yield estimates of the water content and porosity in the shallowest layer (0-30 cm) by simple interpretation of the ground direct wave.
