Polyester microplastic fibers affect soil physical properties and erosion as a function of soil type
2021
Microplastics are recognized as a factor of global change contaminating many environmental compartments. Agricultural soils are very likely to receive microplastic contamination and are of particular concern due to their role in food production. Microplastic fibers have already been shown to be able to affect soil properties, but their effect on different soil types is poorly understood. Moreover, limited information is available on how the presence of this pollutant can affect soil water erosion processes, which are extremely important issues in many environments. In the light of this, we performed two experiments (carried out on a microscale) to investigate how the presence of polyester m…
Extent and persistence of soil water repellency induced by pines in different geographic regions
2018
The extent (determined by the repellency indices RI and RIc) and persistence (determined by the water drop penetration time, WDPT) of soil water repellency (SWR) induced by pines were assessed in vastly different geographic regions. The actual SWR characteristics were estimated in situ in clay loam soil at Ciavolo, Italy (CiF), sandy soil at Culbin, United Kingdom (CuF), silty clay soil at Javea, Spain (JaF), and sandy soil at Sekule, Slovakia (SeF). For Culbin soil, the potential SWR characteristics were also determined after oven-drying at 60°C (CuD). For two of the three pine species considered, strong (Pinus pinaster at CiF) and severe (Pinus sylvestris at CuD and SeF) SWR conditions we…
APPLICAZIONE DI CRITERI E INDICATORI DELLA CERTIFICAZIONE PEFC DI GESTIONE FORESTALE SOSTENIBILE: DUE CASI STUDIO A CONFRONTO NEL TERRITORIO SICILIANO
2018
La Sicilia non ha ancora complessi forestali la cui gestione sostenibile sia stata certificata. Questo lavoro è volto a analizzare la possibilità di applicare i criteri e indicatori di certificazione di GFS secondo lo schema PEFC a due casi studio: i boschi del comune di Bivona (AG) e una foresta situata sulle Madonie (PA). Entrambi sono rappresentativi di ambienti ecologici diversi e importanti dell’isola. L’analisi pone in luce le criticità più significative della gestione attualmente adottata e la mancanza di comunicazione con i portatori d’interesse. Application of Criteria and Indicators of Sustainable Forest Management PEFC Certification: two case studies in Sicily Sicily currently ha…
Educación ambiental en las áreas protegidas: el caso del Parque Municipal da Lagoa do Peri, Florianópolis, SC, Brasil
2015
La Isla de Santa Catarina, capital del Estado de Santa Catarina, está localizada al sur de Brasil, está inmersa en el “bioma” de Mata Atlântica, que está reconocido por tener los mayores índices de biodiversidad del planeta. Es la floresta más amenazada de Brasil, de la que queda solamente un 13,32 % del territorio original. La isla tiene cerca de un 44% de área protegida. Es un área cuantitativamente grande que incorpora un rico mosaico de ecosistemas costeros (manglares, restingas, dunas, lagunas, bosque, playas y acantilados). Nos referimos a una isla, por lo que tiene un espacio físico limitado, con bellezas naturales que atraen todos los años a miles de turistas y también a habitantes …

VALUTAZIONE DELLE PERDITE DI CARICO LOCALIZZATE NELLE ALI GOCCIOLANTI INTEGRALI
2011
L’indagine ha permesso di valutare gli effetti indotti sulle perdite di carico complessive, dalla presenza degli erogatori ed ha consentito di individuare un criterio di stima delle perdite di carico localizzate che tiene conto, oltre che della geometria del sistema condotta-gocciolatore, del numero di Reynolds (Re). Nel corso delle prove sperimentali si è proceduto alla caratterizzazione idraulica degli apparecchi erogatori esaminati, attraverso la determinazione della relazione portata pressione Q(h) e del coefficiente di variazione tecnologico (CVT). Le prove condotte hanno permesso quindi di individuare un criterio generale di dimensionamento idraulico delle ali erogatrici che tenga anc…

Forest Road Planning, Construction and Maintenance to Improve Forest Fire Fighting: a Review
2019
Forest roads play a key-role in fire fighting activities. In fact, all ground-based activities are strictly related to the presence of forest roads as access to fire edge. In spite of this important role, forest roads are often planned and built without considering their use in fire fighting, and this also occurs in literature, where few studies are dedicated to the importance of forest roads in fire fighting. A well-developed and well-maintained forest road network is the answer to different needs in fire management. The objective of this review is to clarify basic principles for obtaining efficient road network also for fire fighting, collecting, defining and resuming the main roles, the …
Evapotranspiration from an Olive Orchard using Remote Sensing-Based Dual Crop Coefficient Approach
2013
A remote sensing-based approach to estimate actual evapotranspiration (ET) was tested in an area covered by olive trees and characterized by Mediterranean climate. The methodology is a modified version of the standard FAO-56 dual crop coefficient procedure, in which the crop potential transpiration, T p, is obtained by directly applying the Penman-Monteith (PM) equation with actual canopy characteristics (i.e., leaf area index, albedo and canopy height) derived from optical remote sensing data. Due to the minimum requirement of in-situ ancillary inputs, the methodology is suitable also for applications on large areas where the use of tabled crop coefficient values become problematic, due to…
Daily evapotranspiration assessment by means of residual surface energy balance modeling: A critical analysis under a wide range of water availability
2012
Summary An operational use of the actual evapotranspiration assessed by remote sensing approaches requires the integration of instantaneous fluxes to daily values. This is commonly achieved under the hypotheses of daytime self-preservation of evaporative fraction and negligible daily ground heat flux. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of these assumptions on estimate daily evapotranspiration over a full phenological cycle, including phases characterized by significant changes both in net radiation and vegetation cover. To assess the reliability of these hypotheses, the observations made by a flux tower, installed within a homogeneous field of cereal located in the valley part …
