A state-and-transition approach to alpine grasslands under abandonment
No full textThe abandonment of the traditional pastoral practices is acknowledged as the main causes of the shrub-encroachment in the alpine semi-natural grasslands. In this paper, we proposed a state-and-transition approach in order to organize pastoral vegetation in a simple management-oriented framework integrating ecological data. The study sites were chosen in an inner alpine territory where the abandonment of pastoral practices was more evident than in other alpine regions. Cluster and fuzzy analysis applied to botanical data allowed the classification of six pastoral types and the assessment of the main overlaps between them. Non-parametric tests on Landolt nutrients indices, slope and distance from farm allowed the identification of a gradient linked with nutrients and pastoral practices intensity from rich pastures to shrub encroached pastures. Moreover, the implementation of the available information in a state-and-transition model (STM) allowed us to hypothesize the presence of an ecological threshold between grass-dominated and shrub-dominated grasslands and the identification of the at-risk pastoral types in the shrub-encroachment dynamics
Leaf functional traits for the assessment of succession following management in semi-natural grasslands: A case study in the North Apennines, Italy
No full textQuestion: Do leaf functional traits describe variation in the intensity of management in semi-natural grasslands? Location: Mugello, North Apennines, Italy. Methods: In an ecologically homogeneous area, we identified four grassland management practices (three different stocking rates and abandonment for 10 or more years). We measured leaf functional traits (LFT) of three dominant grass species - leaf dry matter content (LDMC), specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf N concentration (LNC) - in two permanent sampling plots per treatment for two consecutive years. Statistical tests and multivariate analysis were employed to compare the traits and analyse their sensitivity in responding to the different management intensities. Results: The robustness of LDMC and SLA in grass species ranking was confirmed. Weighted LDMC and SLA were able to differentiate the most intensely managed site from the others. Conclusions: The results of the weighted LDMC and the weighted SLA encourage further studies aimed at the development of a LFT database for the most common grass species of Apennine semi-natural grasslands. This could be of great help in the development of indicators able to support the formulation of rational management plans for conservation and sustainable animal production. © 2012 International Association for Vegetation Science

Environmental and management drivers of alpine grassland vegetation types
No full textCurrent vegetation of alpine grasslands has been shaped by the combination of natural ecological factors (such as climate, soil, topography) and human activities, mainly represented by animal grazing and agricultural practices. An assessment of these factors can explain the present composition of plant communities and help to evaluate the future development of rangeland vegetation. Nowadays, the analysis of the botanical composition of grasslands is of a major importance in order to propose appropriate management plans for the sustainable exploitation of pastoralresources and their future conservation. The main purpose of this work was to assess the relevance of ecological and management factors in alpine grasslands in an area located in eastern Italy, currently used for extensive grazing, and to describe the main factors that affect the characteristics of pasture types. To this aim, about 900 ha of alpine grasslands were surveyed in Val Visdende (northern Veneto, province of Belluno, Italy) by means of 189 linear transects. Some environmental variables (altitude, slope, aspect) and factors related to management (pastoral value, animal excreta, distance from night barns) were collected for each botanical transect. Landolt indicators were calculated in order to evaluate the ecological space occupied by each type. This assessment made it possible to identify the most relevant grassland communities (namely nutrient poor, shrub encroached, nutrient rich and humid pastures) occurring in the studied area, the effectiveness of ecological indicators to describe and to differentiate vegetation groups and the effect of animal management and ecological factors in the discrimination of grassland types

No full textLa politica mediterranea dell'Italia nel Nord Africa: dal 1949 al 1970.
No full textQuesto lavoro si prefigge di ripercorrere ed esaminare i momenti salienti della politica estera italiana dal 1949 al 1970, analizzando con particolare attenzione il contesto nordafricano e mediterraneo.
Il periodo che si estende tra la fine degli anni quaranta e gli anni settanta, per complessità ed estensione, ci permette di osservare ed indagare con attenzione l'ambigua ed altalenante politica mediterranea messa in atto dai vari governi che si sono susseguiti all'interno del periodo storico trattato in Italia.
All'interno della tesi, l'analisi dell'azione diplomatica italiana, svolta nei confronti degli stati nordafricani, pur avendo un andamento cronologico, è suddivisa paese per paese, permettendo in questo modo di osservare accuratamente un soggetto alla volta.
Nel corso dell’indagine, l’attenzione s'indirizza in special modo, sulle principali iniziative diplomatiche messe in atto dall'Italia nei confronti delle crisi che sconvolsero il Mediterraneo.
All'interno di questa dissertazione viene esaminato anche l'importante ruolo svolto dalle varie comunità italiane presenti negli stati nordafricani, nello sviluppo delle relazioni tra l'Italia e tali stati.
In conclusione l'azione italiana in Nord Africa nel periodo storico illustrato, risulta essere contrastante, nonostante in alcuni ambiti fosse un fallimento, riesce ugualmente a raggiungere gli obbiettivi sperati e dati, ottenendo delle buone relazioni sia economiche che politiche con il mondo arabo, evitando di perdere gli importanti rapporti esistenti con i partner europei ed atlantici
