Kali dodecanesicum (Chenopodiaceae, Salsoloideae) a new species from Greece

2015

Kali dodecanesicum, a new species from some islands (i.e. Rhodes, Kos and Nisyros) of the Dodecanese in the south-eastern Aegean (Greece), is described and illustrated. According to recent literature, Kali is treated as a distinct genus from the polyphyletic Salsola s.l., which includes several annual species. The new species is morphologically well separated from the other Kali taxa mainly for the shape of the fruiting perianth, showing closer relationships with Kali ponticum. Its ecological requirements, distribution, and conservation status are also examined, together with an analytic key of the Kali species occurring in the Mediterranean area.

A new species of Kali (Salsoloideae, Chenopodiaceae) from Sicily, supported by molecular analysis

2015

Nomenclatural and taxonomical considerations on Kali , a controversial genus recently segregated from the polyphyletic Salsola s. lat. ( Chenopodiaceae ), are provided. The Kali group includes annual plants with leaves ending in a spine and lacking hypodermis, having also a cortex alternate to longitudinal chlorenchymatous striae. The species belonging to this genus mainly have a paleotemperate distribution (Europe, Asia and North Africa), occurring as aliens in North America, Australia and South Africa. A new species collected on Mt. Etna (Sicily), and closely related to K. australe , is described and illustrated as K. basalticum Its morphological and molecular features, karyology (2n=54),…

Salvatore Boscarino : la didattica e il dibattito sul restauro dei monumenti in Italia (1975-2000)

2018

Il volume Salvatore Boscarino La didattica e il dibattito sul Restauro dei Monumenti in Italia 1975-2000 vuole sintetizzare il proficuo dibattito intercorso fra i docenti di Restauro dei Monumenti in Italia, nel periodo compreso fra il 1975 e la fine del Ventesimo secolo, e sottolineare l’impegno, anche nella didattica, di uno dei suoi protagonisti: Salvatore Boscarino (1925-2001). La ricerca, temporalmente inscritta tra l’anno 1975 (anno della vincita del concorso per professore ordinario di Restauro dei monumenti di Boscarino) e il 1998 (anno in cui Boscarino seguì la sua ultima tesi di laurea a Palermo), quale concatenazione di più temi, riferisce sul dibattito fra gli stessi docenti di …

Preservation of the remains and contemporary grafts in the former Mother Church of Santa Margherita di Belice in Sicily: ethics of restoration, conse…

2015

Un restauro di qualità deve rispettare il carattere dell’architettura storica e le stratificazioni, rendere distinguibili le parti aggiunte e suggerire l’uso compatibile. Questo moderno indirizzo culturale e metodologico ha guidato l’intervento sui resti della ex chiesa madre di Santa Margherita di Belice, in Sicilia, ora destinata ad ospitare il “Museo della Memoria”. La ricostruzione filologica delle parti crollate nel 1968 è stata scartata, indirizzando il cantiere verso la rigorosa conservazione dell’autentico frammento architettonico e la ridefinizione del volume perduto mediante un nuovo involucro contemporaneo. Una campagna d’indagini diagnostiche (condotte dal Lirba, Università di P…

2015

Nelle zone terremotate della Valle del Belice in Sicilia, molte demolizioni e ripristini stilistici sono stati effettuati, ma – tra i pochi interventi condotti secondo i canoni condivisi della disciplina del restauro – deve essere ricordato lo pseudo-completamento della chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie a Santa Margherita di Belice. L’intervento ha tradotto nella prassi esecutiva del cantiere un gesto progettuale fondato sulla conservazione dell’irriproducibile sostanza materica superstite e la raffinata e sensibile ridefinizione dell’involucro. Una teca di legno, vetro e metallo ha riformato il volume della chiesa accostandosi alla porzione absidale e alla parete ancora presenti. La scans…

Seed germination in Sarcopoterium spinosum (L.) Spach from South-Eastern Sicily

2012

Sarcopoterium spinosum (L.) Spach is a nanophanerophyte whose presence in Sicily is limited to the South-East of the island. A study on seed germination behaviour of seeds collected from some populations indicates low viability of seedlings which could seriously put the long-term survival of these populations at risk.

Quel prix les habitants d'une région périurbaine payent-ils pour voir des paysages "verts" depuis chez eux ?

2009

National audience; L'objectif de cet article est d'estimer le prix d'attributs paysagers dans la région de Dijon. À partir d'images satellites et d'un modèle numérique de terrain, une méthode de géographie quantitative développée à partir de systèmes d'information géographique (SIG) permet de " mesurer " les paysages vus depuis le sol à travers une batterie d'indices. Sur la base de 2 667 transactions immobilières, un modèle économétrique utilisant la méthode des prix hédonistes permet d'estimer les prix des attributs paysagers ainsi quantifiés. Les résultats montrent, tout d'abord, que dans cette région les ménages sont " myopes ": le prix de paysages vus au-delà d'une ou deux centaines de…

Modelling sediment delivery using connectivity components at the experimental SPA2 basin, Sicily (Italy)

2018

Sediment delivery ratio can be used as a measure of sediment connectivity and it can be linked to the structural connectivity (morphological unit, slope length, slope steepness, travel time) of a basin and to the functional connectivity (rainfall-runoff processes at morphological unit scale). In this paper the sediment connectivity approach was applied at basin scale both using Sediment Delivery Distributed (SEDD) model, which takes into account the hillslope sediment transport, and sediment yield measurements carried out at SPA2 experimental basin (Sicily, Italy). The expression of the sediment delivery ratio SDRi of a morphological unit was modified for highlighting two components corresp…
