#distalpublications ⚡ Even though there have been attempts to analyse the energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in the European Union, there is still a lack of research that considers structural change, fossil energy consumption, and energy-mix simultaneously.

#distalpublications   🌲 🌳 Socio-ecological resilience is the capacity of a system to adapt to changing ecological and social disturbances. Its assessment is extremely important to integrate long-term management of ecological and social features of natural ecosystems.  🌲 🌳 This is especially true for 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬, such as sacred forests and groves, where it can reveal the influence of social processes in ecosystem recovery or degradation. 🌲 🌳 In the study - 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙤-𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨: 𝙀𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙀𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙪𝙨, 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙘𝙚 -the main results reached by the authors of the article - Valentino Marini Govigli, John R. Healey, Jennifer L. G. Wong, Kalliopi Stara, @Dr. RIGAS TSIAKIRIS, John M. Halley show that over past centuries sacred forests in Epirus underwent periods of varying tree establishment rate, depending on the intensity of human activities and historical disturbance events.

#distalpublications 💦 Correct water management of golden kiwifruit vines, besides being essential for reaching high yield and fruit quality, is also fundamental to keep plants healthy and avoid useless water loss. In this study - 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙄𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙤𝙞𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙠𝙞𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙩- the authors Elena Baldi, Maurizio Quartieri, Giacomo Chiarelli, Greta Nicla Larocca, Marco Mastroleo, Evangelos Xylogiannis, Gloria Falsone, Moreno Toselli aimed at:  🥝 1) assess the water retention curve in typical soils for the kiwifruit production in Italy;  🥝 🥝 2) evaluate the response of potted Zezy002 plants to the variation of soil moisture, in term of leaf gas exchange and stem water potential.
