Flooding is well recognized as one of the most destructive natural disasters, often leading to heavy losses of lives, property, and economy. Flood impacts are often presented in terms of flood vulnerability/fragility functions considering univariate intensity measures. However, flooding duration also plays an instrumental role in physical damage, functionality loss, and economic losses. This prompts the development of multivar...
On September 11, 2024, a debris flood hit the urban area of Gragnano (in Naples) in the Lattari Mts. of southern Italy and resulted in the evacuation of nine families. This event was triggered by a storm that occurred 1 month after a wildfire affected two catchments located along the northern slopes of Mt. Pendolo. The increasing frequency of debris floods in peri-Vesuvian areas and effects of this event led to this analysis....
The 92/43/EEC Habitats Directive is the main European Union legal tool concerning nature conservation. The habitat types listed in Annex I to the Directive are phytosociology-based. It is widely acknowledged that phytosociological analysis is a crucial approach for habitats characterization and for monitoring their conservation status. Based on bibliographic investigations and new field survey campaigns, a list of habitat type...
We analysed the invasion history of two North American macrophytes ( Elodea canadensis and E. nuttallii ) in Italy, through an accurate census of all available herbarium and field records, dating between 1850 and 2019, and a rich literature collection describing the initial introduction and naturalisation phase that supports the results obtained by the occurrence records. Elodea canadensis arrived in Italy before 1866 and had...
Hydrochemical, isotopic and microbiota characterization of telese mineral waters (Southern Italy)NARA Subscribed
The study deals with the analyses of springs and wells at the base of Montepugliano Hill that represents the SE edge of the wide carbonate Matese massif (Campania, southern Italy). At the base of the hill, from west to east and for almost one kilometre, cold springs HCO 3 -Ca type (Grassano springs, ~ 4.5 m 3 /s; TDS: about 0.45 g/L) pass to hypothermal, HCO 3 -Ca type, sulphurous and CO 2 -rich springs (~ 1 m 3 /s with TDS >...
Global maps of soil temperatureNARA Subscribed
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1‐km 2 r...
