Neoanthropocene Raising and Protection of Natural and Cultural Heritage: A Case Study in Southern Italy

2020

Analyzing the human history on the planet, a conflictual relation was raised when humankind had started destroying the natural ecosystem and biota, and consequently, a capacity to induce environmental change has increased throughout human history in the so-called Anthropocene age. A 'noosphere'-centered civilization could produce a non-disruptive new kind of anthropocentrism. This is becoming a new context to define Neoanthropocene based on a renewed homeostatic relationship between Earth and mankind. The potential application of this theoretical approach has been tested in drafting steps of Plan of Lucania Apennines, Valdagri, and Lagonegrese National Park, in southern Italy. Drafting the …

Recent Developments in Understanding Biochar’s Physical–Chemistry

2021

Biochar is a porous material obtained by biomass thermal degradation in oxygen-starved conditions. It is nowadays applied in many fields. For instance, it is used to synthesize new materials for environmental remediation, catalysis, animal feeding, adsorbent for smells, etc. In the last decades, biochar has been applied also to soils due to its beneficial effects on soil structure, pH, soil organic carbon content, and stability, and, therefore, soil fertility. In addition, this carbonaceous material shows high chemical stability. Once applied to soil it maintains its nature for centuries. Consequently, it can be considered a sink to store atmospheric carbon dioxide in soils, thereby mitigat…

In tema di proprietà: il modello romano nella tradizione giuridica

2021

We are back to discuss ownership. In fact, beyond all possible predictions, the history of property law is combined with that of fundamental human rights. The individual perspective of absoluteness, present in the codicistic tradition, the predominantly economic content of the property right, governed by the Constitution, are today deeply intertwined with the perspective of the protection and enhancement of the subject who owns it, in accordance with the provisions of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (Charter of Nice). . This new perspective of protection is associated with …
