Prioritizing the Management of Arundo Donax: Recommendations for Removal and Revegetation in California Riparian Habitats
<p>The highly invasive grass species, giant reed (<em>Arundo donax),</em> has been a major contributor to riparian habitat degradation in California for over 50 years. Several modes of vegetative reproduction have allowed this alien species to take advantage of fluvial processes and rapidly spread …

Colture mediterranee industriali per la bonifica di suoli contaminati da metalli pesanti e produzione di bioenergia
L'utilizzo di terreni agricoli per coltivare colture energetiche ha aumentato la competizione tra colture industriali e colture alimentari. Per evitare questo problema, i terreni marginali appaiono come un'alternativa alla produzione di colture energetiche senza minacciare le produzioni alimentari. …
