Metabolomic Study of Dactylis glomerata Growing on Aeolian Archipelago (Italy)
2022
The Aeolian Islands (Italy) are a volcanic archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea comprising seven main islands, among which are two active volcanoes. The peculiar geological features and the wide variety of environments and soils have an important impact on native plants, and in particular, the Aeolian populations of Dactylis glomerata (a perennial cool-season bunchgrass) exhibit remarkable phenotypic variability. Considering that environmental drivers also strongly affect the production of plant metabolites, this work aimed at comparing the metabolomic profiles of D. glomerata (leaves) harvested at different altitudes on four islands of the Aeolian archipelago, namely: Lipari, Vulcano, Strombo…

The Eighth Island
2014
This paper proposes a succinct analysis of the factors that have led Aeolians to leave their islands for Australia and explores how patterns of chain migration were established in the second half of the 19th century that are still active today. Saija argues that initially Aeolians went to Australia out of a yearning for adventure rather than out of economic need, although after the substantial economic downturn experienced by the islands from 1888 onwards, economic need became the predominant if not the only factor. Over the last 150 years so many Aeolians have migrated to Australia that it has become known in the Aeolian collective consciousness as the eighth island of the Aeolian archipel…
Volcano seismicity and ground deformation unveil the gravity-driven magma discharge dynamics of a volcanic eruption.
2015
Effusive eruptions are explained as the mechanism by which volcanoes restore the equilibrium perturbed by magma rising in a chamber deep in the crust. Seismic, ground deformation and topographic measurements are compared with effusion rate during the 2007 Stromboli eruption, drawing an eruptive scenario that shifts our attention from the interior of the crust to the surface. The eruption is modelled as a gravity-driven drainage of magma stored in the volcanic edifice with a minor contribution of magma supplied at a steady rate from a deep reservoir. Here we show that the discharge rate can be predicted by the contraction of the volcano edifice and that the very-long-period seismicity migrat…
Piano di Gestione UNESCO Isole EOLIE
2008
Nel Piano di gestione del sito UNESCO Isole Eolie sono definiti i criteri e le modalità per realizzare contemporaneamente l’obiettivo della tutela di un bene e uno sviluppo locale sostenibile. Il Piano contiene una mappatura dei Beni Culturali e Ambientali e Naturalistici, descrivendo un sistema territorio sotto il profilo economico-ambientale che contiene: - L’inquadramento storico, economico e antropologico del sito, l’uso finora fatto, i fattori di incidenza sui beni ambientali e culturali; - L’inquadramento attuale del sito, attraverso un’analisi degli strumenti legislativi e amministrativi e della loro conformità; - L’analisi dei processi produttivi critici e le relative interazioni co…

La diversità degli animali domestici nelle isole circumsiciliane: un patrimonio scomparso prima di essere conosciuto
2018
In tutti gli studi che affrontano il tema della perdita della diversità animale allevata e vegetale coltivata in Sicilia non si fa cenno alla presenza di razze animali nelle isole circumsiciliane, ad eccezione dell’asino di Pantelleria. Recenti indagini hanno permesso di accertare una presenza storica, seppur limitata, di razze animali, oggi estinte, sulle isole parasicule. Inoltre i testi che trattano specificatamente di tali razze forniscono preziose informazioni sul passato uso agro-pastorale dei territori insulari e meritano pertanto un’adeguata valorizzazione. None of the studies dealing with the loss of Sicilian reared animal and cultivated plant diversity mentions the presence of ani…
