Analisi della tossicità e dei carichi inquinanti veicolati nei corpi idrici da scolmatori di piena in tempo di pioggia
No full textIl Canale Navile a Bologna è il corpo idrico ricettore di apporti sia naturali sia artificiali. In esso vengono convogliate, infatti, le acque provenienti dall’impianto di depurazione situato a Nord della città, inoltre riceve le portate scolmate da una ventina di scaricatori di piena della rete fognaria che si attivano durante gli eventi meteorici.
Il monitoraggio relativo ad un tratto del Canale Navile, cui fanno riferimento i risultati mostrati in questa sede, ha consentito di definire per quantità e qualità gli apporti provenienti dagli scolmatori e quindi di valutarne gli effetti prodotti sul Canale. L’impatto è risultato particolarmente significativo, come indicato da studi precedenti (Artina et al., 2004a), ed è stato evidenziato come tale impatto sia fortemente influenzato dal tempo secco antecedente l’evento meteorico
Characterisation of ALS genes in the polyploid species Schoenoplectus mucronatus and implications for resistance management
No full textSeven different mutant ACCase alleles (1781-Leu, 1999-Leu, 2041-Asn, 2041-Val, 2078-Gly, 2088-Arg and 2096-Ala) and 13 combinations with two types of mutation were detected in the pinoxaden-resistant plants. The 1781-Leu allele appears to confer a dominant resistance to pinoxaden, clodinafop, haloxyfop, sethoxydim and clethodim at 60 g AI ha(-1) . The 2041-Asn and 2041-Val alleles are associated with dominant or partially dominant resistance to FOPs, no substantial resistance to DIMs and a moderate resistance to pinoxaden. The 2088-Arg allele endows a partially dominant resistance to clodinafop, sethoxydim and most likely to pinoxaden. In addition, non-target-site resistance mechanisms seem to be involved in pinoxaden resistance
The restoration of some stretches of the Sarno River (Southern Italy): from canalized environment to fluvial corridor
No full textThe widespread urbanization of the corridor of the Sarno River has drastically modified the environment of this fluvial system. The aerial recognitions show that "the river continuum" was replaced by a continuum of town centres developed along the course of the Sarno River and its tributaries often on both banks. The urban and industrial building areas appear as a continuum and the agricultural areas show critical conditions because they are crossed by important infrastructures, such as motorways, superhighways and railways. Nevertheless, the environment is not without a proper and certified ecological value as the fluvial corridor is partly included in the SIC IT 8040021 Monti Picentini and in the Sarno River Regional Park. In order to present an effective set of planning, management and projecting proposals consistent with the present condition an integrated evaluation of the "river fluvial corridor" system in line with the EU 2000/60 Directive was carried out. The state of the art was analysed in detail within five stretches by applying the complex Indices and the Model for the integrated, multidisciplinary evaluations of the "River Sarno fluvial corridor" system. The results obtained have pointed out at various levels the environmental critical hazards, and the various scenarios for removing these critical impacts; the positive and negative actions are explained by the procedural/action abacus. © 2009 WIT Press
