Dai balconi ai parchi urbani: buone pratiche per un giardinaggio consapevole

Prodotto nell’ambito del progetto LIFE15 GIE/IT/001039 “Alien Species Awareness Program”(ASAP), è un opuscolo di tipo tecnico-pratico che intende fornire alcune informazioni di base sulle piante esotiche invasive presenti in Italia nonché, seguendo le buone pratiche dettate nel Codice di condotta definito nell’ambito della Convenzione di Berna, proporre un numero non esaustivo di specie native da utilizzare in alternativa alle piante esotiche invasive inserite nella Lista di Rilevanza Unionale e per le quali vi è divieto di importazione, commercio, possesso, riproduzione, trasporto, utilizzo e rilascio in natura. E’ indirizzato a tutti coloro che sono coinvolti direttamente o indirettamente nella produzione, commercializzazione e impiego delle piante ornamentali: aziende florovivaistiche importatori di piante e tutti coloro che svolgono un ruolo nella progettazione e realizzazione di aree verdi quali gli Architetti paesaggisti, i Dottori Forestali, i Dottori Agronomi e a tutti gli appassionati di giardinaggio. La scelta di utilizzare specie autoctone nel verde urbano risponde anche all’esigenza di garantire una migliore tutela e conservazione della biodiversità negli spazi urbani

The Flora of Perda ‘e Liana (CE-Sardinia)

This contribution presents the results of the floristic research carried out on Monte Perda 'e Liana, one the most characteristic Mesozoic calcareous formations of centre-eastern sardinia. The found floristic component 247 taxa that can be sscribed to 57 families and 176 genera. The endemic quota is made up of 44 species or 17,81% of the local fora mostly ascribed to the sardinian sector. The analysis of the biological forms has pointed out a high percentage of hemicryptophytes and therophytes, while the chorological spectrum has shown the dominance of steno and euri mediterranean elements

ETHNOBOTANICAL COMPARISON BETWEEN THE VILLAGES OF ESCOLCA AND LOTZORAI (SARDINIA, ITALY)

An ethnobotanical comparison between two small communities of Sardinia (Escolca and Lotzorai) has been completed. The results indicate the use of a large number of plants for self-medication of easily resolved pathologies. Indices have been applied to identify the phytotherapeutic consensus of the two communes in numerical terms

First data on the use of native algal strain from Ecosistema Filtro to detect the effect of phosphate on growth inhibition

The present work is a part of report on the results of a survey of the algal flora of a constructed wetland, the Ecosistema Filtro (EFS). A freshwater microalgal species was selected and assay was performed following standard guidelines, in an attempt to evaluate the role of laboratory assessments in ecological risk assessment studies. Scenedesmus sp. was viewed to a good option for the assay because it grew well and according to control acceptability criteria. We evaluated growth estimates by comparing manual cell counting to more automated growth estimates using absorbance endpoints. Results confirm the chances to promote an integrative hazard assessment approach, combining laboratory, in situ assays, water-quality parameters
