    Land use strongly influences soil properties and unsuitable practices lead to degradation of soil and environmental quality. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of different land uses on some chemical properties of soils developed from Pliocene clays, within hilly environments of central and southern Italy. The areas investigated are located in Vicarello di Volterra (Pisa, Tuscany), S. Quirico d'Orcia (Siena, Tuscany) and Soveria Simeri (Catanzaro, Calabria).

    The diversity and abundance of wild bees ensures the delivery of pollination services and the maintenance of ecosystem diversity. As previous studies carried out in Central Europe and the US have shown, bee diversity and abundance is influenced by the structure and the composition of the surrounding landscape. Comparable studies have so far not been carried out in the Mediterranean region. The present study examines the influence of Mediterranean landscape context on the diversity and abundance of wild bees. To do this, we sampled bees in 13 sites in olive groves on Lesvos Island, Greece.

    Il contributo pone in luce alcune caratteristiche dei sistemi informativi geografici necessari alla gestione integrata delle funzioni di pianificazione del territorio, di valutazione immobiliare e di manutenzione della base imponibile immobiliare, ed in particolare le caratteristiche di interoperabilità fra le diverse basi dati gestite dai settori della PA variamente competenti in materia di governo del territorio, che alla luce della Direttiva europea INSPIRE dovranno conseguire elevati standard di accessibilità e di condivisione dell’informazione.

    Partendo dai presupposti dettati dai postulati estimativi dell’ordinarietà, della previsione e della comparazione, il legame tra la stima del Valore di Mercato e il Prezzo di Compravendita può essere spiegato da un punto di vista matematico.
    Il modello di Prezzo di Compravendita e un campione estimativo significativo sono strumenti centrali per lo sviluppo di uno dei qualsiasi metodi di stima diretti del Valore di Mercato.

    In this paper is presented a methodological approach which integrates statistic modelling and 2-D cellular automata (CA) in order to describe tree species shifts responding to the climate changes foreseen for Italy in the 21st century. Five Italian tree species populations of Abies alba, Pinus sylvestris, Fagus sylvatica, Acer campestris and Quercus suber and their actual potential distributions (PDs) – represented by Importance Value (IV), have been considered.

    The Kagera Transboundary Agro ‐ ecosystem management project is a regional project comprising four East African countries ‐ Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda ‐ that share the Kagera river basin. The agro‐ecosystems in the Kagera basin are facing increasing pressure as a result of rapid population growth and agricultural and livestock intensification characterized by progressive reduction in farm sizes and unsustainable land use and management practices.

    LADA (Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands project) is a scientifically-based approach to assessing and mapping land degradation at different spatial scales ? small to large ? and at various levels ? local to global. It was initiated in drylands, but the methods and tools have been developed so as to be widely applicable in other ecosystems and diverse contexts with minimal required adaptation.
