Practices of urban inclusion. From Design to Implementation

This report emerges out of a collaborative EU funded project titled: DESINC LIVE – Designing and Learning in the Context of Migration (desinclive.eu). The project has brought together a group of fourteen educators, researchers and practitioners from four Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and three Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) based in four European countries to jointly design, test and evaluate an experimental educational offer titled: Practices of Urban Inclusion. The report describes the activities involved in running Practices of Urban Inclusion around a blended learning approach, combining online educational opportunities with place-based methods

Assessment of the ecological structure of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile on the northern coast of Lazio, Italy (central Tyrrhenian, Mediterranean)

This is the accepted manuscript of the paper "Assessment of the ecological structure of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile on the northern coast of Lazio, Italy (central Tyrrhenian, Mediterranean) ", published as final paper in "Italian Botanist 9: 1–19 (2020); https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.9.46426". Gnisci V, Cognetti de Martiis S, Belmonte A, Micheli C , Piermattei V, Bonamano S, Marcelli M. (2020) Assessment of the ecological structure of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile on the northern coast of Lazio, Italy (central Tyrrhenian, Mediterranean) Italian Botanist 9: 1–19 (2020) doi: 10.3897/italianbotanist.9.46426 The ecological structure of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile meadows was evaluated on the northern coast of Lazio, Italy (central Tyrrhenian, Mediterranean sea). This is an infra-littoral zone with a wide range of anthropogenic activities and high geo-morphological variability, which reflects heterogeneity in shoot density, leaf morphology and biomass in fragmented patches. Genetic variability in populations corresponds to the formation of 3 sub-clusters, in the diverse impacted zones (north, centre and south), being correlated to the geographical distance between sites. AMOVA estimated a high genetic variation showing 43.05% individual differences within populations with a marked differentiation among the populations (56.9%) indicated by Fst value (0.57). These results revealed the role of the genetic structure of seagrasses for determining selectivity of fragmented habitat, in response to natural drivers. They showed that site-specific self-recruitment is related to biodiversity capacity and to the geo-morphological characteristic of the coast

Key descriptors for Sclerocarya birrea (marula)

This Descriptor list consists of an initial minimum set of characterization and evaluation descriptors for Sclerocarya birrea. This strategic set aims at facilitating access to and utilization of this African indigenous fruit tree. It does not exclude the addition of other descriptors at a later date. The strategic set of data standards is designed to facilitate access to and utilization of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture information. Together with passport information, descriptors are critical to the effective sharing of characterization and evaluation data and to the efficient use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture

Key descriptors for Strychnos cocculoides (Monkey orange)

This Descriptor list consists of an initial minimum set of characterization and evaluation descriptors for Strychnos cocculoides. This strategic set aims at facilitating access to and utilization of this African indigenous fruit tree. It does not exclude the addition of other descriptors at a later date. The list was based on a preliminary List developed by World Agroforestry (ICRAF). The strategic set of data standards is designed to facilitate access to and utilization of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture information. Together with passport information (Alercia et al. 2018, 2015), descriptors are critical to the effective sharing of characterization and evaluation data and to the efficient use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture
