Hieracium pallidum subsp. aetnense (Asteraceae), a new subspecies from Sicily (Italy), with notes on the taxonomy of H. pallidum Biv.
2013
Hieracium pallidum subsp. aetnense Gottschl., Raimondo & Di Grist. is described and illustrated. H.pallidum is considered as an intermediate species between H. schmidtii and H. racemosum (“schmidtii>racemosum”) and is placed in H. sect. Grovesiana. By consequence, H.lanudae Gottschl. is transferred to H. pallidum as H. pallidum subsp. lanudae (Gottschl.) Gottschl., Raimondo & Di Grist. A key for the three recognised subspecies of H. pallidum is provided.

This is the twenty-four of a series of reports of chromosomes numbers from Mediterranean area, peri-Alpine communities and the Atlantic Islands, in English or French language. It comprises contributions on 21 taxa: Hymenonema from Greece by E. Liveri, P. Bareka & G. Kamari (Nos 1824-1825); Fritillaria from Turkey by Mine Koçyiğit, N. Özhatay, U. Rastgeldi & E. Kaya (Nos 1826-1836); Hieracium from Sicily by E. Di Gristina, G. Domina & A. Geraci (No 1837); Bellevalia and Leopoldia from Tunisia by A. Troia, G. Domina & V. Spadaro (Nos 1838- 1839); Bubon, Centaurea, Crepis, Rindera and Scaligeria from Greece by Ch. Kyriakopoulos, P. Bareka & G. Kamari (Nos 1840-1844).
Continuous monitoring of hydrogen and carbon dioxide at Mt Etna
2013
article i nfo This study assessed the use of an H2 fuel cell as an H2-selective sensor for volcano monitoring. The resolution, repeatability, and cross-sensitivity of the sensor were investigated and evaluated under known laboratory conditions. A tailor-made device was developed and used for continuously monitoring H2 and CO2 at Mt Etna throughout 2009 and 2010. The temporal variations of both parameters were strongly correlated with the evolution of the volcanic activity during the monitoring period. In particular, the CO2 flux exhibited long-term variations, while H2 exhibited pulses immediately before the explosive activity that occurred at Mt Etna during 2010.
Atmospheric Deposition Of Volcanogenic Major And Trace Elements On Mt. Etna (Italy)
2009
There are a variety of natural and anthropogenic sources of trace elements into the environment, and human activity has drastically changed the biogeochemical cycles and balance of several elements. In the last twenty years many efforts have been spent by the scientific community to better outline the levels of pollutants in the environment on a long-term basis, and to evaluate global large-scale changes. It is generally accepted that volcanic emissions are an important source of gases and particles to the atmosphere, contributing significantly to the natural geochemical cycles of all elements (Nriagu, 1989; Hinkley et al., 1999; Oppenheimer, 2003). Many studies have been carried out on the…
