Rare Middle and Upper Devonian dalmanelloid (Orthida) of the Cantabrian Mountains, N Spain
2018
Rare Cantabrian Dalmanellidae ( Costisorthis lisae nov. sp.), Dicoelosiidae ( Teichertina cf. peregrina , T. cf. ?tzroyensis ), and Mystrophoridae ( Mystrophora sp., Biernatium suco i nov. sp., and Biernatium sp. 2) are described and ?gured for the ? rst time in Spain. Most of them are scarce forms that occur only in certain localities. All the species but one came from the lower part of the Portilla (province of Leon) and Candas (province of Asturias) formations, Faunal Interval 21, Polygnathus rhenanus/P. varcus conodont zone, middle Givetian. The exception is Biernatium sp. 2 that occurs in Asturias in FI 25, Pineres Fm., Palmatolepis transitans zone, lower Frasnian. Costisorthis ranges …

Multiple nodal solutions for semilinear robin problems with indefinite linear part and concave terms
2017
We consider a semilinear Robin problem driven by Laplacian plus an indefinite and unbounded potential. The reaction function contains a concave term and a perturbation of arbitrary growth. Using a variant of the symmetric mountain pass theorem, we show the existence of smooth nodal solutions which converge to zero in $C^1(\overline{\Omega})$. If the coefficient of the concave term is sign changing, then again we produce a sequence of smooth solutions converging to zero in $C^1(\overline{\Omega})$, but we cannot claim that they are nodal.
Deep-rooted “thick skinned” model for the High Atlas Mountains (Morocco). Implications for the structural inheritance of the southern Tethys passive …
2006
A re-interpretation of the deep structure of the High Atlas is presented through integration of geophysical and geological data, highlighting the architectural significance of the southern Tethys palaeomargin. Previous crustal models suggest the occurrence of a flat intra-crustal detachment at a depth of � 20 km, a zone where surface thrusts merge and below which the lower High Atlas crust appears continuous. However, within this study seismic refraction data, electrical resistivity surveys and gravity modelling all appear to detect a jump in crustal thickness between the High Atlas and the northern plains. We interpret these data as penetration by thrusts within the ‘‘South-Atlasic fault’’…

Direct measurement of NO3 radical reactivity in a boreal forest
2018
We present the first direct measurements of NO3 reactivity (or inverse lifetime, s−1) in the Finnish boreal forest. The data were obtained during the IBAIRN campaign (Influence of Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions on the Reactive Nitrogen budget) which took place in Hyytiälä, Finland during the summer/autumn transition in September 2016. The NO3 reactivity was generally very high with a maximum value of 0.94 s−1 and displayed a strong diel variation with a campaign-averaged nighttime mean value of 0.11 s−1 compared to a daytime value of 0.04 s−1. The highest nighttime NO3 reactivity was accompanied by major depletion of canopy level ozone and was associated with strong temperature inversion…
Seed germination reports of high mountain species native to Mount Etna (Sicily)
2020
The germination ability of five endemic species from the high mountain belt of Mt. Etna were studied; they are Astragalus siculus, Erysimum etnense, Senecio squalidus subsp. aethnensis, Silene italica subsp. sicula, and Tanacetum vulgare subsp. siculum. Mature seeds were collected in the field, within an elevation range of 1700–2000 m a.s.l. Different experimental conditions were tested and the best methods with optimal germination results are provided and compared for each species. First germination records are given for 4 out of 5 of the investigated taxa.
Micropropagation of Endemic Endangered Taxa of the Italian Flora: Adenostyles alpina subsp. macrocephala (Asteraceae), as a Case Study
2023
The conservation of endangered, rare, and endemic plant species is based on in situ and ex situ conservation strategies. When in situ conservation alone is not sufficient to guarantee the survival of the species, ex situ techniques are adopted in support. This study aimed to develop an efficient micropropagation protocol for Adenostyles by evaluating the effect of different plant growth regulators on leaf explants. Adenostyles alpina subsp. macrocephala (Asterace) is a perennial herbaceous plant endemic to Calabria (Southern Italy). The genus Adenostyles includes three species confined to the mountains of the Mediterranean and southern Europe. For callus induction, media supplemented with d…
