A b s t r a c : The recent demand for quality foods and the necessity to develop low-input, envir o n m e l y friendly agronomic techniques has encouraged use of cover cropping in vineyards, olive groves, tree plantations both fruit timber. Research indicated positive negative effects crops when used with cultivation. Several crop species have been recognized as suitable varying climates, soils usage. Sward management was conducted dif f rent climates conditions subsequent contrasting...
As the basis of livestock feeding and related performances, pastures evolution dynamics need to be carefully monitored assessed, particularly in Alps where effects land abandonment are further amplified by climate change. such, increases temperature associated with changes precipitation patterns quantity leading modifications grassland extent composition consequences on pastoral systems. This study applied a machine learning approach (Random Forest) GIS techniques map suitability seven...
The paper describes recent changes in pastoral systems Italy and provides an assessment of current farming marginal areas the country, where extensive livestock rearing still represents option. Despite public financial support, rural increasingly has to find its place within wider society, integrate into markets, support employment diversify income generation. Provision environmental as well recreational services is complementing quality food production. heterogeneous Italian landscape...
During the last decades, climate change and variability are increasingly negatively affecting agriculture. To ensure satisfactory stable food production, agriculture is intensifying adoption of external input with environmental consequences such as emission greenhouse gases. In this experiment, we monitored CO2 CH4 dynamics from cultivation maize for silage grown under different fertilization treatments: (i) liquid fraction digestate pig slurries, (ii) urea, (iii) no (control), in an...
The objective of this research was to study the effect different nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) rates on growth nutrient content hybrid bermudagrass ( Cynodon dactylon × C. transvaalensis ) grown in pots for nursery purposes (producing stolons obtain one-node sprigs be used as propagation material). Starting from control N, P, K (314, 52, 198 mg·L −1 substrate, respectively), each element reduced zero, halved, doubled, or tripled while other two were kept unchanged (13...
Nitrogen (N) fertilization is a key factor in turfgrass management. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) positively correlated with health and quality it affected by species rates. With the aim to test sensitivity of remote NDVI reading methods detecting N variation coolseason warmseason species, data obtained Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) multispectral camera on board ground-based instrument were related evaluated. relationship between value from UAV resulted very...
Turfgrass is a major vegetation type in urban and peri-urban areas.Being high maintenance ecosystems, turfs can contribute substantially to climate change.The object of this study was evaluate the contribution GHG emissions by turfgrasses Mediterranean conditions (Tuscany, central Italy).CO2 CH4 emission fluxes from mature stand tall fescue bermudagrass were evaluated, static chambers method, for assessment C under different nitrogen fertilization rates (0 -50 -150 kg N ha -1 ).Both species...
No setor da construção civil, a busca por sustentabilidade ainda é incipiente. Este trabalho tem objetivos analisar aplicação certificação LEED TM empreendimentos brasileiros, entendendo as restrições de uso em uma realidade diferente referência original norte-americana, e disseminar os resultados obtidos para dois estudos caso nacionais. Os confirmaram que (a) não tarefa fácil e, no Brasil, significa, vários aspectos, saltar completa ausência atender normas americanas; (b) mesmo centros...
Abstract Hair tubes are one of the most effective tools for sampling small‐mammal assemblages. Despite their efficiency, they can be damaged by wildlife. We quantified wildlife‐induced disturbance hair‐tube in Monte Pisano mountain system Italy. At each site we tied 2 together to form a hair trap and placed them 3 different areas. measured disturbances counting number traps disturbed identified species that caused damage with cameras. Although approximately 27% ( n = 164/600) were disturbed,...
A recent technique developed for establishment of warm season turfgrasses is based on the transplant single plug plantlets pre-rooted in nursery. Plantlets are obtained from one-node sprigs about 2 cm long derived stolon fragmentation. Usually, stolons must be cut several times to obtain right length because overly internodes. In present study, potted plants Patriot bermudagrass grown nursery were treated with trinexa-pac-ethyl (TE) at rates 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 kg a.i. ha-1. TE application...
Sepsis is a disease with high mortality and morbidity despite advances in diagnostic procedures therapeutic strategies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the profile outcomes community-onset sepsis. This retrospective, multicenter included five 24-h health care units conducted from January 2018 December 2021. Patients were diagnosed sepsis or septic shock according 3.0 criterion. A total 2630 patients as having (68.4%, 1800) (31.6%, 830) unit included; 43.76% admitted intensive unit,...
