Cultivated terraces in Slovenian landscapes

Acta Geographica Slovenica, 2017
Cultivated terraces distinctively mark the landscape and are a result of human adaptation to steep areas. Terraces were studied with regard to their morphometric qualities, ownership structure, and land use at eight pilot sites in various landscape types

Assessment of the Terraced Landscapes’ Integrity: A GIS-Based Approach in a Potential GIAHS-FAO Site (Northwest Piedmont, Italy)

Land, 2022
The GIAHS-FAO program enhances the agricultural systems coevolved with humans through their dynamic conservation to guarantee the livelihood of future generations. The aim of this research was to assess, with a dynamic perspective, the terraced landscape’

Designer Moiré Quantum Materials Enabled by Freestanding Oxide Membranes in Twisted and Hybrid Bilayers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Freestanding oxide membranes transform twistronics by enabling deterministic stacking, strain release, and integration with two‐dimensional materials. A unified framework links local atomic registry to structural reconstruction, polar textures, charge modulation, flat bands, and magnetic responses, while identifying the fabrication and characterization

CO‐Adsorption on MgO Revisited: Polarization‐Resolved Identification of Step Edges as the Dominant Defects on MgO(100) and MgO(110)

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
By combining polarization‐resolved IRRAS with hybrid HSE06 DFT calculations, we establish site‐specific vibrational fingerprints, adsorption geometries, and binding energies for CO on wide‐band‐gap MgO surfaces. Low‐coordinated Mg4c2+ step‐edge sites, rather than terrace Schottky defects, are identified as the dominant binding and reactive sites, with ...

Methanol Decomposition on TiO2 Under Ambient Conditions: Cooperative Proton Transfer at Hydrated Interfaces

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Under ambient conditions, the TiO2 surface becomes hydrated by adsorbed hydroxyl groups (OH) and water molecules. This surface hydration promotes methanol decomposition, rendering the first deprotonation step nearly barrierless compared with ideal UHV conditions.

Strategie per la conoscenza e il restauro del Paesaggio Culturale. Il caso dell’antico vigneto e del Palazzo Mansi ex Palazzo Vescovile di Scala (Sa)

Restauro Archeologico, 2023
The Palazzo Mansi and the ancient vineyard on terraces that surround it can be considered a large insula within the historic center of Scala, one of the 15 municipalities of the Amalfi coast, declared a World Heritage Site in 1997.

Leveraging Big Multitemporal Multisource Satellite Data and Artificial Intelligence for the Detection of Complex and Invisible Features: The Case of Extensive Irrigation Mapping

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detection of buried or obscured archaeological features remains a central challenge in landscape archaeology, particularly in the irrigated floodplains of Mesopotamia where levees and canals formed the basis of complex agrarian systems. This study presents a deep learning–based approach for the large‐scale, automated detection of ancient ...

“Faraway, So Close!” The landscapital proof-of-concept applied to the terraced landscapes of the Canary Islands and of the Alps

, 2021
The landscape is the resultant perception of the tireless choices of people acting on a territory. In the case of steeply sloping vineyards, the landscape continuously evolves adapting itself to changes of the physical environment, the climate, the ...

Deciphering the Palimpsest: Chronological Uncertainty and the Interpretation of Mining Landscapes at Písečný vrch (Czech Republic)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigated the Písečný vrch (Czech Republic), a site exploited for quartz mining in both prehistoric times and the 20th century. Due to their morphological similarity across all mining periods, the differentiation between pits with archaeological potential and recent ones is challenging.
