Importazione massale di dati in Wikiplantbase: l'esperienza con Wikiplantbase #Sicilia
2019
Il progetto Wikiplantbase è stato avviato nel 2013 al fine di offrire un sistema dove caricare record floristici georeferenziati, liberamente accessibili via internet. Sino ad allora, infatti, esistevano un gran numero di banche dati online sulla nomenclatura, tassonomia, erbari, specie aliene, vegetazione, numeri cromosomici e sequenze di DNA, ma non vi era facile accesso ai dati floristici a grande dettaglio geografico. I record floristici costituiscono i dati primari sulla biodiversità utili per qualsiasi ricerca di biologia vegetale. Al fine di aumentare i dati sulla Sicilia disponibili in Wikiplantbase, si sono elaborati e standardizzati alcuni dei dati liberamente accessibili dal sito…
Plant essential oils in controlling fungal colonization on wooden substrate
2021
In order to control fungal colonization and the related deterioration process of cultural objects, several chemical compounds are actually utilised. These products generally are toxic, not biodegradable and persisting for long time in the environment, also acting on not-targeted biological systems. In this study, specifically to wooden cultural object, Origanum vulgare L. and Thymus vulgaris L. essential oils are proposed as green biocides to contrast the development of Penicillium chrysogenum, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger fungal species. The aim is replacing toxic products with natural molecules, proposing alternative methodologies supporting the using of non-toxic novel compou…
Limnological aspects of sicilian reservoirs: A comparative, ecosystemic approach
1999
This paper is a report on the state-of-the-art of reservoir limnology in Sicily, the largest island of the Mediterranean Sea. The territory is characterised by a semi-arid climate with a dry and a wet semester occurring in the year. Evaporative losses are strong during the summer and, on an annual basis, they often exceed precipitation. Thus, reservoirs constitute an important water resource for the island to supply drinking water and to provide for agricultural needs in the periods of drought. However, despite their importance, they receive poor attention from the scientific and political communities and in the absence of any environmental policy or suitable territorial planning, their wat…
