This site includes coastal dune ecosystems of Central Italy, both along Tyrrhenian and Adriatic coastline. The flora and the fauna of the site is highly specialized with a relevant ecological value. On the other side, the site includes one of the most threatened ecosystems at national and European level, mainly due to direct and indirect human pressures. These areas host many EU interest habitats and species and are included in the Nature 2000 Network. Major EU Habitats are: Habitat 1210 (Annual vegetation of drift lines), Habitat 2110 (Embryonic shifting dunes), Habitat 2120 (Shifting dunes along the shorelines with Ammophila arenaria), Habitat 2230 (Malcolmietalia dune grasslands), priority Habitat 2250* (Coastal dunes with Juniperus spp.), Habitat 2260 (Cisto-Lavanduletalia dune sclerophyllous scrubs) and priority Habitat 2270* (Wooded dunes with Pinuspinea and/or Pinus pinaster). The main topics of the ecological monitoring are: the temporal dynamics of plant diversity and abundance of coastal EU habitats, the periodical observation of nesting avifauna and Testudo hermanni, and the multi-temporal analysis of land cover types and its distribution, as well as of dune morphology and shoreline evolution.

This Bachelor's Thesis illustrates a simplified method to consider the influence of climate change on rainfall scenarios in the city of Bologna. The method is general and can be used elsewhere. The Thesis is developed within the project StopUP - Protecting the aquatic environment from urban runoff pollution, 01/09/2022 – 31/08/2025, call HORIZON-CL6-2021-ZEROPOLLUTION-01-03, GA n. 101060428. 

The following lists present the articles gathered for an article on Social representations of Agrivoltaics in Italy, to be published on Energy Research and Social Science thanks to the collaboration of Mauro Sarrica, Alessandra Scognamiglio and Roberto Fasanelli.

The parent site consists of: two main research sites (Lake Santo Parmense and Lake Scuro Parmense) in the Northern Apennines, but also several temporary and permanent lentic systems sampled at a lower frequency; two main research sites in the Western Alps (Lake Paione Inferiore and Superiore), and about 30 high altitude lakes (above 1900 m a.s.l.) in the same area, with long-term irregular data; one research site located in the Brenta Dolomites (Lake Tovel) at 1178 m a.s.l. with a monthly sampling regime and long-term data; three main research sites in the province of Bozen, together with other 11 lakes all located below the treeline, monitored since 1979 with samplings at irregular intervals. For all the main research sites long-term data exist on water chemistry, plankton and benthos; however, the datasets of the various sites may be different in terms of size, temporal coverage, frequency of the series and monitored parameters. The main research topics considered are eutrophication and acidification, population dynamics, biodiversity, functional diversity, lake metabolism, plankton phenology, alien species, climate change effects, impacts of anthropogenic activities in lake catchments, high frequency monitoring.

La tesi che si propone in questo Documento, frutto della riflessione del Laboratorio MEIC di Napoli nel corso del 2019/2020 è che il modello di economia circolare trova le sue origini nei principi della Scuola Economica Francescana e successivamente nella Scuola napoletana di Antonio Genovesi dell’Economia Civile. Cooperazione, reciprocità, fiducia sono le pre-condizioni dello sviluppo economico che già la Scuola francescana e quella napoletana avevano con estrema chiarezza identificato (“la fiducia lega, unisce, crea legame nella società: è ciò che è la forza di coesione e di reciproca attrazione nei corpi naturali... senza la quale non si può avere nessuna massa ferma e durevole, ma tutto diventa polvere e sabbia che si discioglie al primo urto” - (cap X, Lezioni di Economia Civile). Questa nuova/vecchia economia è dunque in grado di promuovere uno sviluppo “human-centred”, cioè uno sviluppo umano integrale e sostenibile (come recita la Laudato Si’), caratterizzato non solo dalla competizione ma anche dalla partecipazione, relazionalità, inclusione, reciprocità, simbiosi, comunità. {"references": ["Angrisano, M., Bosone, M., Mosca, V., Fusco, Girard L.

This dataset and codebook correspond to the initial round of survey data gathered in Italy in 2022, within the project FULFILL - Fundamental Decarbonisation Through Sufficiency By Lifestyle Changes. As part of Work Package 3 (WP3) in the FULFILL project, we collected quantitative data from six countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, and India. In the first round of the survey, we recruited a representative sample of approximately 2000 households in each country, taking into account both the individual and household perspectives. The survey includes a quantitative assessment of the carbon footprint in various domains of life, such as housing, mobility, and diet. In addition to this, the survey also measures socio-economic factors such as age, gender, income, education, household size, life stage, and political orientation. Furthermore, the survey includes measures of quality of life, encompassing aspects such as health and well-being, environmental quality, financial security, and comfort.

This dataset and codebook correspond to the second round of survey data gathered in Italy in 2023, within the project FULFILL - Fundamental Decarbonisation Through Sufficiency By Lifestyle Changes. As part of Work Package 3 (WP3) in the FULFILL project, we collected quantitative data from six countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, and India. The first round of the survey, consisted of recruiting a representative sample of approximately 2000 households in each country. In this second survey round, we recruit around 500 respondents from the initial survey round, ensuring representativity is maintained. This survey is very similar to the survey in the first round and includes a lot of identical items, including a quantitative assessment of the carbon footprint in the housing, mobility, and diet sectors, socio-economic factors such as age, gender, income, education, household size, life stage, and political orientation. Furthermore, the survey includes measures of quality of life, encompassing aspects such as health and well-being, environmental quality, financial security, and comfort. New for this second round, we have incorporated questions regarding the measures respondents adopted in response to the 2022 energy crisis.
