Long‐term comparison shows protected and non‐protected forests differ in harvesting, but not in wildfires or drought‐driven dieback

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Lower forest harvesting in Natura 2000 sites may align with socio‐economic barriers often claimed by local communities, but protection does not influence vulnerability to other disturbances. In a general scenario of reduced forest harvesting in the region, we argue that differences in harvesting due to protection are statistically significant but ...

Trait‐based species selection for restoration: A case study from tropical landscapes dominated by bracken

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results can be used by stakeholders to select the species best suited for active restoration projects in bracken‐dominated areas throughout the tropical region. Furthermore, our trait‐based approach, which considers seedling performance in disturbed areas, can serve as a guide for species selection in restoration programmes in other disturbed ...

Diversity modulates above‐ground productivity in response to disturbances: The case of Iberian forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 12, Page 3605-3621, December 2025.
We analysed whether forest productivity responses to disturbances were modulated by structural and functional diversity, as well as by functional dominance, and whether these responses vary among functional groups. Forest diversity can mitigate the negative effects of disturbances on productivity.

L’Aquila in tre atti. Dalle ordinanze per soddisfare il "fabbisogno alloggiativo" all’esplosione di case nella città-territorio [PDF]

lo Squaderno, 2015
La cosa più urgente ed emergente all’indomani del terremoto che colpì alle 3:32 del 6 aprile 2009 L’Aquila, capoluogo d’Abruzzo e città media di circa 70.000 abitanti, fu quella di fornire una sistemazione e alloggio a tutti quelli che avevano la casa

The legal status of Uncertainty [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2011
An exponential improvement of numerical weather prediction (NWP) models was observed during the last decade (Lynch, 2008). Civil Protection (CP) systems exploited Meteo services in order to redeploy their actions towards the prediction and prevention of ...

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Toward a functional understanding of novel fire regimes in tropical forests

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use alterations are driving forest fires to unprecedented frequencies and intensities worldwide. Even wet tropical forests—historically rarely subjected to fire—are increasingly experiencing fire disturbances. The impact of wildfires on these forests is likely large, since many of their tree species are not adapted to ...

Assessing spatial variability and efficacy of surrogate species at an ecosystem scale

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Preserving biodiversity is a central goal of conservation, but, in practice, monitoring biodiversity often involves assessing population trends for one or a handful of species that are presumed proxies for biodiversity. Despite the popularity of surrogate species strategies, the links between biodiversity and surrogate species are rarely ...
