Izmaiņas Latvijas piekrastes ainavā 20.-21. gadsimta mijā un mūsdienu izaicinājumi
2013
Dažādi faktori ietekmē piekrastes zonas attīstību gan pasaulē, gan Latvijā, kā rezultātā notiek izmaiņas ainavas struktūrā un tās spējā nodrošināt sabiedrībai nepieciešamos resursus. Promocijas darbā Latvijas piekrastes ainava ir pētīta atšķirīgos mērogos un kontekstos: i) izmaiņas jūras piekrastes ainavas struktūrā un tās ietekmējošie faktori ir vērtēti visas Latvijas piekrastes zonā; ii) potenciālā vēja enerģijas ražošanas jūrā ietekme uz ainavas vizuālo struktūru ir novērtēta unikālajā Baltijas jūras stāvkrastu zonā; iii) pludmales ainavas kā rekreācijas pakalpojuma nodrošinātāja nozīmīgums ir noskaidrots četrās atšķirīgās Latvijas pludmalēs. Darbs ir transdisciplinārs, jo tajā ir izmant…
Funzioni e percezioni del territorio. L’esperienza del GAC «Il sole e l’azzurro: tra Selinunte, Sciacca e Vigata»
2018
Il presente contributo s’inserisce nel dibattito sulla riorganizzazione territoriale dell’Italia a partire da progettualità e voca- zioni di sviluppo condivise dai territori. In particolare, viene analizzato il sistema di governance e attività che, in seno alle politiche comunitarie, specie a quelle condotte con approccio LEADER, è stato proposto dal GAC «Il Sole e l’Azzurro: tra Selinunte, Sciacca e Vigata». I GAC (Gruppi di Azione Costiera) sono partenariati pubblico-privati che, con un approccio bottom-up, sono preposti a valorizzare il comparto ittico e, più in generale, gli assets costieri dei territori. Attraverso un approccio geogra co ed etnogra co, declinato mediante la conduzione …

Investigations into the development and role of a Mediterranean intertidal bioconstruction for coastal conservation: the Vermetid Reef
2017
Vermetid reefs are intertidal biogenic habitats created by a dense aggregation of mollusks, frequently cemented by calcareous algae, and are typical of sub-tropical and warm–temperate rocky shores. These bioconstructions are valuable key-habitats of the coastal zones, increasing their productivity and biological value. In the Mediterranean, the main vermetid reef builders belong to the genus Dendropoma and are associated to encrusting coralline red algae. These organisms are ecosystem engineers protected under international European Legislation, although vermetid reef conservation is limited by a lack of biological and ecological knowledge. The two-way interactions between biota and the phy…

Potential effects of transgenic cotton on soil ecosystem processes in Vietnam.
2008
This chapter concentrates on the potential effects of transgenic cotton on the soil ecosystem of three major cotton growing areas in Vietnam: the coastal lowlands region, the central highlands (eastern and western Truong Son Mountain Range) and the south-eastern region. Soils in these three regions are very different, so it will be necessary to assess the effects of transgenic cotton on typical soils from all three regions. The soils in the south-eastern region are Luvisols, Andosols and Acrisols. In the central highlands, the soils are mainly Luvisols, Rhodic Ferrasols and Haplic Acrisols. The soils in the coastal lowlands region are mainly delta soils, consolidated occasionally by grey li…

2017
La scheda è un estratto del contributo dell’Unità di Ricerca di Palermo nel PRIN “Re-cycle Italy” al seminario internazionale “Progetto di riciclo e infrastruttura-zione del territorio. "Selezione, manutenzione, nuovi modelli”, organizzato dall’Unità di Ricerca del Politecnico di Milano il 26 e 27 febbraio 2015. The postcard is an extract of the Palermo Research Unit’s contribution to the “Re-cycle Italy” National Interest Research Project at the international seminar “Recycling and Infrastructure Plan for the Territory. Selection, Maintenance, and New Models”, organized by the Politecnico di Milano Research Unit on the 26th and 27th February 2015.
