First record of Carex vesicaria (Cyperaceae) in Sicily.
2004
The first record of Carex vesicaria from Sicily is reported. This circumboreal species, so far known from the peninsular regions of Italy and from Corsica, has been found in a marshy mead- ow within the Fagus sylvatica and Acer pseudoplatanus woody belt of the Nebrodi mountains (N-E Sicily). The phytocoenosis established in this locality is characterized by C. vesicaria itself together with a few other hygrophytes such as Galium elongatum, Mentha aquatica and Juncus effusus. This plant community belongs to a context of hygro-hydrophilous vegetation where marshy features characterized by Juncus striatus and Calliergonella cuspidata alternate with the lacustrine ones characterized by Potamoge…
La 'Terra di mezzo' tra Siracusa e Augusta. Dalle poleisgreche alla citta lineare
2019
[SPA] El 'Dipolo urbano' de Siracusa·Augusta es un área estratégica para el futuro del sureste de Sicilia. Es un palimpsesto antrópico caracterizado por la presencia de un delicado paisaje natural y agrícola, sitios arqueológicos extraordinarios. contextos urbanos poblados y una industria petroquímica. El área geográfica es la zona costera incluida entre Augusta y Siracusa: una porción del territorio caracterizada por la presencia de calas y puertos naturales, limitada al oeste por la meseta calcarenítica de las montañas Climiti. En este palimpsesto tan degradado. la Escuela de Arquitectura de Siracusa ha estado estudiando posibles estrategias de recuperación y recualificación. A partir de …
Hypercalcified sponges from the Upper Triassic (Norian-Rhaetian) reefs of Sicily
2015
The sponge-dominated Upper Triassic (Norian-Rhaetian) reefs of Sicily yielded the most abundant hypercalcified sponge taxa compared with other time equivalent reefs in the world. Chambered sponges (“Sphinctozoa”) are the most abundant group among the hypercalcified sponges. All together almost 150 species of hypercalcified sponges (including sphinctozoans, inozoans, chaetetids, disjectoporids and spongiomorphids) were recognized in the Norian-Rhaetian reefs occurring in different localities in Sicily. 93 species (30 new, 28 as sp. indet.) of sphinctozoans, belonging to 18 families (2 new: Polytubithalamiidae, Globucatenulaiidae) and 35 genera (4 new: Globucatenula, Polytubithalamia, Rostros…
Śpiewy kalwaryjskie z Góry Świętej Anny. Źródła
2019
Badania tradycyjnego repertuaru religijnego na ogół przedstawiają się podobnie jak w przypadku materiału świeckiego. Obowiązują tu, wypracowane na gruncie dyscypliny metody gromadzenia. Specyfika religijnego przekazu otwiera jednak możliwości analizy porównawczej dostępnych źródeł w postaci użytkowych publikacji drukowanych, rękopisów i zapisów instrumentalnych. Istotnym elementem zatrzymującym procesy zanikania tradycyjnych form jest również sam obrzęd, wykazujący wiele cech stałości. Wszystko to zauważamy na przykładzie religijnej tradycji muzycznej kalwaryjskich obchodów na Górze św. Anny na Śląsku Opolskim, gdzie muzyczna kultura ludowa posiada własną specyfikę i koloryt związany z funk…
Od symbolu animozji polsko-niemieckich do retoryki pojednania. Obraz Góry św. Anny w XX i XXI wieku
2021
The article describes the way St. Anne’s Mountain has been presented over time by giving it different meanings and (re)interpretations on religious and historical-political levels. The religious description of this place is defined by a pompous narrative style and appealing to readers’ emotions. In the historical-political dimension, the mechanism of national mythologization and instrumentalization of St. Anne’s Mountain were shown. It was also pointed out that after 1989 another reinterpretation took place, taking the form of the reconciliation rhetoric. The role of the Catholic Church in the process is presented and the dangers are indicated: reducing reconciliation to a vapid expression …
Propozycja regionalizacji fizycznogeograficznej Sudetów Wschodnich
2018
Artykuł przedstawia propozycję wyznaczenia granic Sudetów Wschodnich oraz podziału fizycznogeograficznego makroregionu na mezoregiony. Przy wyznaczaniu granic uwzględniono w większym stopniu genetyczno-geologiczny podział Sudetów związany z orogenezą waryscyjską. W podziale na mezoregiony w większym stopniu uwzględniono kryteria litostratygraficzne.
RESEARCH ON STRAWBERRY PLUG PLANTS IN SOILLESS COLTIVATION
2009
n recent years, the main advances in strawberry cultivation in Italy have regarded cultivation techniques, the use of alternatives to methyl bromide and the type of propagation material used. Fresh plants have taken over from cold-stored plants in 60% of cases. This prompted the need for new studies on the cultivation of fresh strawberry plants carried out in Sicilian nurseries. This report illustrates the results of a trial carried out in Sicily to find the best plug plants grown by four nurseries located at different altitudes (Madonie mountains, Sicani mountains, Nebrodi mountans) and on the plain (Marsala) and with an open cycle soilless system. The trial was carried out at our experime…
Pomological and quality traits of mulberry (Morus spp.) germplasm from Gorno Badakhshan in the Western Pamir
2017
The local fruit biodiversity can represent a good opportunity to maintain the agriculture and to develop economies in "marginal" territory such as those in the mountain rural areas. The genetic diversity of the Morus spp. is little known in the Western Pamir mountains, so that the objective of the present study was to improve the knowledge of the polymorphism of the species in the different poorly explored Tajik valleys by investigating the main quantitative and qualitative traits. Materials and methods - Six selected sites of the Gorno Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO) region were investigated through field measurement on morphological traits of mulberry trees (both from wild and cultiva…
Differences of raw cork quality in productive cork oak woods in Sicily in relation to stand density
2010
Differences of raw cork quality, in terms of thickness and porosity, were observed in productive cork oak (Quercus suber L.) stands in the Nebrodi and Iblei mountains of Sicily in relation to stand density. Five study areas were chosen across a range of different stand density satisfying specific sampling requirements among two managed cork oak stands. Analysis of variance using Fisher-Snedecor's F test (p<0,05) were used to identify statistically significant differences of cork quality and sylvicultural, dendrometric and cork stripping parameters between study areas within each stand and also between stands. Relationships between cork quality and sylvicultural and dendrometric parameters w…
Research on the Origin of Strawberry Plug Plants in Soilless Cultivation
