Utilizzo e Valorizzazione dei Cereali Antichi
No full textIn uno scenario di aumento della crescita demografica e della domanda alimentare, il cambiamento climatico influenzerà negativamente la produzione alimentare. Una delle conseguenze più preoccupanti del cambiamento climatico sono gli stress abiotici che influenzeranno l'agricoltura. Si prevede che i raccolti diminuiranno del 17-33% nel prossimo futuro. Una possibile chiave per mitigare questo scenario è la reintroduzione delle varietà di cereali tradizionali. Lo scopo di questo progetto era di studiare la tolleranza allo stress abiotico di varietà di cereali antiche e moderne nelle fasi di germinazione e semina, al fine di valutarne il comportamento ai cambiamenti climatici e anche per sviluppare una strategia per soddisfare le future esigenze alimentari. Lo studio si è concentrato su 7 varietà antiche (Triticum aestivum L. var. Verna, T. durum Desf. var. Senatore Cappelli, "Einkorn" T. monococcum L, "Emmer" T. dicoccum L., T. durum Desf. var. Timilia, Triticum aestivum L. var.Gentil Rosso, Triticum turanicum L. Jakubz., 1947) e una cultivar moderna (T. durum Desf var. Claudio). La metodologia utilizzata è stata principalmente test di laboratorio in vitro, in particolare test di germinazione e test di crescita delle plantule, ma principalmente anche test in campo delle cultivar. Le prove di laboratorio mostrano una maggiore tolleranza allo stress rispetto alle varietà tradizionali rispetto alle varietà moderne. Tuttavia, nelle prove di produttività in campo, è stata osservata una maggiore produttività delle varietà moderne rispetto alle varietà tradizionali. L'elevata tolleranza agli abiotici osservata a Verna, Timilia, Einkorn e Turanicum suggerisce che la reintroduzione di varietà di colture tradizionali può aiutare ad affrontare le future sfide climatiche, economiche e sociali indirizzando la produzione alimentare verso agroecosistemi produttivi, stabili e resilienti riducendo al minimo gli impatti ambientali

No Europe without Brussels: The Berlaymont Building and the Development of the Léopold Area
No full textEurope and Brussels had a mutual dependency from the founding of the European Communities. This article explores the historic relation between local urban and the transnational development of post-war Europe. It ultimately raises the question to what extent there exists a dialogue between various actors involved to actively design and build the image of Europe in Brussels.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care.

TOWARDS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE ECOLOGY AND BIOLOGY OF THE SUBENDEMIC IONOPSIDIUM SAVIANUM (CARUEL) ARCANG. IN CENTRAL ITALY
No full textJonopsidium savianum (Caruel) Ball ex Arcang. is an annual subendemic species, whose fragmented
distribution area is limited to N-Spain (Burgos and La Rioja) and central Italy (Umbria, Latium and
Tuscany) (1). It is included in the Annexes II and IV of the "Habitats" Directive (92/43/EEC and subsequent
amendments). The species has been assessed as "Least Concern" in the recent Italian Red List (2), while at
the EU level it is considered "Near Threatened" (3). Considering the biogeographic relevance of this very
localized species, in 2010 and 2016 we carried out a study of its central-Apenninic populations, from Umbria
(M. Torre Maggiore, Colle delle Centelle) and Latium (M. Tancia). Demographic, morphologic, ecological
and reproductive traits of J. savianum have been measured. Among the considered parameters are the genet's
density, size, habitus (single or multiple stems), number and size of flowers and fruits. We investigated the
reproductive biology of the species, focusing on size, weight and morphology of seeds, germinability tests at
different thermal regimes with several thermal stratification protocols, rate and speed of germination. The
density parameters were measured within 40x40 cm2 squares, located at intervals of 1 m along transects
crossing the local stands. The macromorphological parameters were measured on eight randomly chosen
individuals from each of eight transects randomly located in each of the three study site. Data and methods
match with the methodological protocols officially acknowledged for evaluating the conservation status of
this species (4). Correlation with ecological characteristics has been investigated, with focus on soil texture,
light availability and climatic parameters. Nuclear (ITS and ITS2) and plastidial (matK, rbcL, trnH-psbA)
DNA multi-marker barcodes were amplified, adding relevant information to the general knowledge of a
taxon of community interest, for which only karyological data were available (5). The statistical analysis of
data was performed using the software “R” (https://www.r-project.org/, 2016), in order to assess the
variability and to point out any significant different distribution among the considered traits, in relation to the
considered environmental characteristics.
The results obtained from this study contribute to a better understanding of the ecology and biology of J.
savianum in central Italy and will support the periodical monitoring that Regional authorities are obliged to
perform every six years, the next being expected for the end of the period 2013-2018. Jonopsidium savianum
is a species whose conservation is strongly depending on the maintenance of traditional extensive montane
farming. The present study provides useful insights for a proper planning for the preservation of viable
populations of this species. It should be stressed that currently only two of the studied local populations are
included in the network of Natura 2000 areas
The germination niche of coastal dune species as related to their occurrence along a sea–inland gradient
No full textAims
The early phases in the life cycle of a plant are the bottleneck for successful species establishment thereby affecting population dynamics and distribution. In coastal environments, the spatial pattern of plant communities (i.e. vegetation zonation) follows the ecological gradient of abiotic stress changing with the distance from the sea. This pattern has been mainly explained based on the adaptation and tolerance to the abiotic stress of adult plants. However, the adult niche may considerably differ from the germination niche of a plant species. The aim of this work was to investigate to what extent abiotic factors (specifically salinity, temperature, nitrogen and their interactions) constrain seed germination along the sea–inland gradient.
Location
Latium coast (Central Italy).
Methods
Germination tests were performed on seeds of focal species of three different plant communities which establish at increasing distances from the coastline: Cakile maritima subsp. maritima, Elymus farctus, Crucianella maritima. We tested increasing concentrations of NaCl (one of the main abiotic factors which decrease across the sea–inland gradient), and their interactions with temperature and KNO3, to consider other factors which drive germination processes.
Results
The tolerance to salinity significantly decreased in relation to the position of species along the coastal zonation. Crucianella maritima was shown to be the least tolerant species, having a decrease in germination >80% across all conditions. KNO3 significantly (although slightly) increased the germination percentage in Cakile maritima subsp. maritima and Elymus farctus. When combined with NaCl, KNO3 alleviated the negative effects of salinity only in Cakile maritima subsp. maritima.
Conclusions
The germination responses to the interaction among the tested factors suggest that the germination niche may explain vegetation zonation filtering species at their early stages. Quantifying environmental niches in different phases of the life cycle of plants may provide important insights into community assembly processes
A mountain made of woods: the landscape in Mauro Corona's novels
No full textreservedIn questa trattazione i protagonisti saranno le piante, gli animali e i paesaggi emersi dall'analisi dei romanzi Mauro Corona . I romanzi dello scrittore sono stati analizzati in modo da poter creare una panoramica dei paesaggi presenti nelle sue opere. Dando una visione sia quantitativa che qualitativa, i luoghi e gli spazi vengono riportati in maniera dettagliata dal punto di vista fisico, della flora e della fauna, ma anche mostrando la connotazione più legata ad un punto di vista emotivo/soggettivo. L’autore nei suoi romanzi ci parla prevalentemente di un paesaggio montuoso, rurale, mostrandoci spesso i dettagli di alcuni spazi.In this discussion, the protagonists will be the plants, the animals and the landscapes. The novels by the writer Mauro Corona have been analysed in order to create an overview of the landscapes in his works. Giving both a quantitative and a qualitative view, the places and spaces are reported in detail from a physical, flora and fauna point of view, but also showing the connotation more related to an emotional/subjective point of view.
In his novels, the author predominantly speaks to us of a mountainous, rural landscape, often showing us the details of certain spaces
