STUDIO PROPEDEUTICO PER LA REDAZIONE DI UN PIANO DI GESTIONE FORESTALE DEL BOSCO TARDARA, SUGHERETA PURA DEL COMUNE DI TUSA (MESSINA)
2019
La Sicilia è la seconda regione d’Italia per estensione delle formazioni naturali a Quercus suber (L.).Sugherete più o meno degradate sono presenti in tutte le province, il cui stato qualitativo oggi risulta carente a causa dei frequenti incendi, pascolo eccessivo e mancanza di adeguate cure colturali, ma certamente tra tutte le cause la principale è l’assenza di pianificazione. Da questa premessa affiora la necessità di conoscere e governare in modo congruo la superficie boscata siciliana attraverso la redazione di Piani di Gestione Forestale, mirando al ripristino dell’efficienza, della funzionalità e, in particolar modo, della produzione sostenibile dei boschi a sughera. Con il presente …
Environmentally sustainable production of cellulose-based superabsorbent hydrogels
2006
The development of new products and materials, especially those which are non-petrolchemical reserves and based on renewable organic resources, using innovative sustainable processes is nowadays of increasing interest and deserves the attention of both academic and industrial research. Cellulose and its derivatives, as renewable organic resources, have been used to synthesize novel superabsorbent hydrogels. Although the production of cellulose is one of the causes connected to deforestation, the production of suitably engineered cellulose superabsorbent hydrogel materials has been proposed to preserve water in typically arid areas in the world. Paradoxically, divinylsulfone (DVS), a small d…
How Supportive Are Romanian Consumers of the Circular Economy Concept: A Survey
2016
The aim of this paper is to investigate consumer behavior regarding the environment and the adoption of new patterns of behavior and responsible consumption in the promotion of a Circular Economy (CE) in Romania.
