KOSMOS 2017 Peru Side Experiment: nutrients, phytoplankton abundances, enzyme rates, photophysiology
2022
This data was collected during an short-term incubation experiment in March 2017 that investigated the response of a surface plankton community to upwelling. This experiment was carried in the framework of the SFB754-funded KOSMOS mesocosm study that took place in La Punta, Callao, Peru between February-April 2017. A total of six different treatments were used to disentangle chemical and biological characteristics of deep water that influence surface plankton blooms: 2 different deep water sources with different nutrient concentrations; 3 treatments to distinguish the effects of inorganic nutrients, organic nutrients and deep water microbial populations. Measured variables include inorganic…
The importance of the analysis of the environment in the classroom to improve the educational inclusion
2015
El presente articulo defiende la importancia de analizar el clima de las aulas como primer paso para la mejora de los procesos de inclusión educativa. Concretamente se analiza el rechazo entre iguales en un aula. Inicialmente se describen los términos en los que se conocen los conceptos de rechazo-inclusión. Posteriormente se explica el diseño y los resultados de una intervención concreta en un aula de primaria. El análisis que se plantea muestra cómo además de cumplirse la hipótesis de un niño con problemas de inclusión en el aula, emergió un caso que hasta el momento no había sido detectado por la profesora. Por último, atendiendo a los resultados obtenidos, se concluye que es necesario r…
Subtropical streams harbour higher genus richness and lower abundance of insects compared to boreal streams, but scale matters
2018
Aim: Biological diversity typically varies between climatically different regions, and regions closer to the equator often support higher numbers of taxa than those closer to the poles. However, these trends have been assessed for a few organism groups, and the existing studies have rarely been based on extensive identical surveys in different climatic regions. Location: We conducted standardized surveys of wadeable streams in a boreal (western Finland) and a subtropical (south-eastern Brazil) region, sampling insects identically from 100 streams in each region and measuring the same environmental variables in both regions. Taxon: Aquatic insects. Methods: Comparisons were made at the scale…
Analisi della tendenza climatica dell'evapotraspirazione nel territorio siciliano

Long effective evapotranspiration (E) series was derived from the longest temperature series available in Sicily. The regional trend analysis performed has shown a slight upward trend of E.
Climate Resilience Pathways of Rural Households. Evidence from Ethiopia
2018
This paper explores the resilience capacity of rural Ethiopian households after the drought shock occurred in 2011. The work develops an original empirical framework able to capture the policy and socio-economic determinants of households’ resilience capacity by making parametric statistical assumption on the resilience distribution. To this end, the analysis employs a two-wave representative panel dataset aligned with detailed weather records while controlling for a large set of household- and community-level characteristics. The analysis shows that the majority of these factors affects significantly resilience capacity only in the group of households affected by the drought shock, suggest…
PUBLIC POLICY PLANNING TO ENHANCE THE RESILIENCE OF SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS TO CLIMATE CHANGE: OPERATIONALIZING RESILIENCE CONCEPTS FROM A DYNAMIC P…
This study outlines a system dynamic based approach to the planning for resilience in food systems to climate change. The processes described and the insights gained are novel in the literature since they focus on describing operational aspects of resilience that can be generalized to multiple contexts and problems. On the one hand, the process described offers an aid for researchers and practitioners operationalizing resilience in public sector settings. Simultaneously, the insights gained from multiple stakeholder discussions and modelling work open new questions regarding the general mechanisms driving resilience in food systems. Climate change is threatening the extent to which social, …
Multilevel Governance for Climate Change Adaptation in Food Supply Chains
2019
The vulnerability of food supply chains to climate change is higher compared to other industries due to its dependency on climatic conditions, temperature and water supply. As a robust response to the vulnerability of food supply chains, it is essential to find ways of linking the concepts of sustainable development, climate change adaptation and risk governance into one paradigm. The risk governance of food supply chains is conducted by and across both private and public spheres. Hence, in this chapter, we introduce a dual system of governance to match the objectives of climate change adaptation, and discuss the multiplicity and potential integration of both corporate-led private governanc…
Justice in and to nature : an application of the broad framework of environmental and ecological justice
2017
This dissertation applies and develops the broad framework of environmental and ecological justice. It is a new relational approach to justice, whose elements have been introduced by David Schlosberg in his works on environmental and ecological justice. The present study provides a systematisation of the framework and applies it to contemporary environmental topics using the methods of conceptual analysis and case-implication critique. The main outcome of this study is that the elements comprising the broad framework of environmental and ecological justice provide fresh and useful insights into topics like species extinctions and ecosystem wellbeing. In particular, the holistic and conflict…
Portico, peristilio e ombracolo. Forme di resistenza tra gli spazi di transizione mediterranei
2023
The direct and indirect consequences of climate change and its repercussions on man and the environment are a cherished theme in the field of architectural composition; human designed settlements have always been confronted with the changing conditions of the environmental context. Defined as a 'special watchdog', the Mediterranean Sea is de facto, the place where climate change is evolving most rapidly and where impacts will intensify in the near future. The force of the changing issues of climate change is to highlight - once again - the indissoluble relationship between man and the environment, the existence of very long-term processes, the responsibility and the impact of human human ch…
