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...
Abstract. Long-term human interactions with the natural landscape have produced a plethora of trends and patterns environmental disturbances across time space. Nitrogen deposition, closely tracking energy land use, is known to be among main drivers pollution, affecting both freshwater terrestrial ecosystems. We present statistical approach for investigating historical geographical distribution nitrogen deposition impacts accumulation on recent soil carbon-to-nitrogen ratios in Europe. After...
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...
Abstract. Long-term human interactions with landscape and nature produced a plethora of trends patterns environmental disturbances in time space. Nitrogen deposition, closely tracking energy land use, is known to be among the main pollution drivers, affecting both freshwater as terrestrial ecosystems. We investigated geographical distribution nitrogen deposition impacts accumulation on recent soil carbon ratios over Europe. After Second Industrial Revolution (1880–2010), large stretches...
Mediterranean rangelands should be conceived as socio-ecological landscapes (SEL) because of the close interaction and coevolution between socio-economic natural systems. A significant threat to these is related uncontrolled fires that can cause potential damages due reduction or even loss ecosystems. Our results show time series forest grassland for unburned burned areas are characterized by both periodic chaotic components. The fire event caused a clear simplification vegetation structures...
