Climate change, with rising temperatures, water crises, and an increased frequency of climate disturbances, poses a threat to the ability agroecosystems ensure human access food by affecting both quantity quality crop production. Currently, there is growing knowledge about fact that agrivoltaic systems may represent direct strategy cope change driven carbon dioxide emissions for energy production, preserving capacity maintain security. The aim this work was investigate impact environmental...
One solution to mitigate climate change can be the production of renewable energy. In this context, aims paper are: (1) identification local unsuitable areas for installation Utility-Scale Solar Energy (USSE) in a municipality southern Italy; (2) assessment effects their on natural CO2 sequestration and avoided CO2; (3) evaluation contribution global regulation through scenario analysis. Since 2007, 82 authorizations have been obtained USSE 42 over 64 already completed installed areas. For...
The urban area is characterized by different ecosystems that interact with institutional levels, including stakeholders and decision-makers, such as public administrations governments. This can create many conflicts in planning designing the space. It would arguably be ideal for an to planned like a socio-ecological system where ecosystem levels each other multi-scale analysis. work embraces process aims at being applied multi-institutional level approach able match visions stakeholders'...
Abstract The present study aims to assess the socioecological vulnerability of smallholders through an index Tehri Garhwal Himalaya. provides a realistic approach recognize contributions social and ecological factors for household welfare climate change. puts forward various indices each component change - exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity including two more indices: one overall impact under exposure another vulnerability. five were proposed status with without agroforestry practicing...
Land-use/land-cover analysis using Geographic Information System (GIS) application can describe and quantify the transformation of landscape, evaluating effectiveness municipal planning in driving urban expansion. This approach was applied municipality Spongano (Salento, South Italy) order to evaluate spatial heterogeneity transformations land use/land cover from 1988 2016. also used examine spread Xylella fastidiosa, which is a plant pathogen global importance that reshaping Salento...
This paper presents a conceptual framework that looks at photovoltaic systems in synergy with ecosystem services. The focus is to connect business success social and ecological progress based on the operative concept of multifunctional land use. Such an approach attempts harmonise needs industrial processes landscape context. Different from usual design ground farmlands or brownfields, new proposed, combining panels vegetation. A case study considered, applying existing Apulia region...
The concept of Green Infrastructure (GI) emphasises the quality as well quantity urban, peri-urban greens spaces and natural areas, their multifunctional role, importance interconnections between habitats. If a is proactively planned, developed, maintained it has potential to guide urban development by providing framework for economic growth nature conservation. GI includes parks reserves, sporting fields, riparian areas like stream river banks, greenways trails, community gardens, street...
How an apparent static and ordered landscape condition in social ecological landscapes (SELs), can be made sustainable terms of maintenance improvement the provision ecosystem services (ESs) face unpredictable disturbance change? Our contribution to Mapping Assessment Ecosystem Services (MAES) working group is advance some recommendations on how approach dynamic analysis complex adaptive systems improve resilience, habitat connectivity delivery ESs. We show exemplary cases where we utilize...
Forests are important in sequestering CO2 and therefore play a significant role climate change. However, the cycle is conditioned by drought events that alter rate of photosynthesis, which principal physiological action plants transforming into biological energy. This study applied recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) to describe evolution photosynthesis-related indices highlight disturbance alterations produced Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO, years 2005 2010) El Niño-Southern...
The scale of the potential impacts climate change is uncertain but, concurrently with other demographic, land-use, socioeconomic changes, it affecting water availability and demand increasing competition for water. As temperature increases, evaporation resulting in droughts devastating effects on fresh supplies. Water will be one key resources a sustainable urban development. Making clean available next forty or so years require extending service to 3.7 billion more residents areas....
