Abstract:

Desertification is a critical issue for Mediterranean drylands. Climate change is expected to aggravate its extension and severity by reinforcing the biophysical driving forces behind desertification processes: hydrology, vegetation cover and soil erosion. The main objective of this thesis is to assess the vulnerability of Mediterranean watersheds to climate change, by estimating impacts on desertification drivers and the watersheds’ resilience to them. To achieve this objective, a modeling framework capable of analyzing the processes linking climate and the main drivers is developed. Th

Abstract:

Atria, particularly those enclosed by glass, have become popular features of many buildings in recent years. Due to the large amount of glazing, they are characterised by complex thermal processes and by levels of interaction with the ambient climate more intense than other types of buildings. Both the thermal processes and the local climate, place additional complexity for the designer of an atrium building. So far, research concerning atrium buildings and glazed spaces has focused on their energy performance and their potential contribution in minimizing cooling and heating loads of the adja

The mediterranean-type climate zones, typified by hot-dry summers and coldwet winters, are remarkable for their botanical richness. These areas developed through parallel processes of aridification 15-10 million years ago and present a unique opportunity to study how plant groups have reacted to climate change. This thesis investigates the evolutionary impact of palaeoclimatic changes in these. winter-wet biomes, and asks whether similar patterns of diversity are repeated in each of these biomes. The following questions are critical to this study: Can the evolutionary impact of climate change

According to climate projections for the end of the twenty-first century, regional responses to global warming include a strong and widespread drying over the northern Mediterranean, particularly intense in summer. Many authors have reported observed negative precipitation trends in the last decades and have considered them evidences that the projected drying is already detectable. Because of the strong decadal variability of precipitation series, however, it is not straightforward to discern whether observed trends are attributable to an external signal or whether they are consistent with int

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) provide numerous services to their plant symbionts. Understanding the effects of climate change on AMF, and the resulting plant responses, is a crucial factor in predicting ecosystem responses on a global scale. We used a manipulative climate change experiment embedded within a natural climate gradient in Oregon and Washington to examine how the effects of future climate change on AMF-plant symbioses are mediated by soil water availability, soil nutrient availability, and vegetation dynamics.

Abstract:

This thesis contributes to increased knowledge on Holocene climate and environmental variability from two complex and sparsely studied areas. Using a speleothem from Gasparee Cave, Trinidad, as a paleoclimate archive, the local expression of the 8.2 ka (thousand years before 1950) climate event and associated patterns of the inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and rainfall is provided. Subsequent speleothem studies using multi-proxy analysis of stalagmites from Kapsia Cave and Alepotrypa Cave, Greece, provide records of climate, vegetation and human induced changes in the cave environment d

Abstract:

The role of natural light in the health and wellbeing of users is a central subject to architectural design today. Sustainability and energy efficiency are also leading concerns. Therefore, new and existing buildings must provide optimal comfort, while reducing the energy consumption for lighting, ventilation and heating. In this context, this thesis investigates the performance of natural light in sports halls in a Mediterranean climate in relation to both users, athletes and spectators, and television broadcasting requirements. In addition, it explores the impact of daylight design strategi

Abstract:

Le bassin méditerranéen est sujet à de nombreuses sources d'aérosols présentant une variabilité spatio-temporelle élevée. Ces aérosols interagissent de manière directe avec les rayonnements solaire et thermique, et de manière indirecte avec les nuages et la dynamique atmosphérique. Ils peuvent donc avoir un impact important sur le climat de cette région. Ce travail de thèse, à la frontière entre les projets HyMeX et ChArMEx, considère une approche par la modélisation régionale couplée pour répondre aux questions des interactions aérosols-rayonnement-nuages par rapport à la variabilité climatiq

Abstract:

Many studies include Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) techniques to define spatial biogeographic patterns of species and to explore ecological variability. As first, a study on the ecology of infrageneric taxa of genus Solenopsora is presented. The genus includes 25 species of foliose, rupicolous lichens, mostly occurring in temperate and subtropical regions. In Europe, only some taxa range from central Europe (with continental/Atlantic climate) to the Mediterranean, while others are restricted to Mediterranean area. The aim was to explore ecological variability of infrageneric taxa (with

Abstract:

The era we are living calls us to face the environmental and urban issues. As the main source of greenhouse emissions and energy consumption, cities are as well the most vulnerable places as for the effects of climate change and energy scarcity. In densely built urban areas, this condition is exacerbated by the urban heat island effect, which causes higher air temperatures in urban areas than in the rural areas. Understanding the complex physical interaction between the building and the urban context is therefore a preliminary knowledge necessary to steer the urban transformation processes tow

Abstract:

Nelle aree del Centro Italia una rotazione colturale convenzionale prevede un prato di lunga durata interrotto da 2-3 anni di colture cerealicole. La decisione di interrompere il prato e, iniziare la coltivazione dei cereali, influenza i servizi ecosistemici (ES) forniti da questo sistema foraggero. La presente ricerca ha voluto indagare quali pratiche possono essere adottate per gestire questa transizione da un punto di vista della mitigazione del cambiamento climatico e di altri ES. A tal fine sono state effettuate tre sperimentazioni sul campo: Il 1° esperimento ha voluto valutare se

Abstract:

Les alteracions antropogèniques han provocat ràpids canvis climàtics amb un gran impacte sobre els ecosistemes mediterranis, provocant canvis en els processos fisiològics vegetals (per exemple la fotosíntesi), població demogràfica (p. ex. creixement dels troncs, mortalitat, i reclutament de plàntules) i estructura i composició comunitària (per exemple pèrdua d'espècies i canvis de distribució). No obstant això, fins ara, els mètodes eficaços per avaluar amb precisió aquests canvis en resposta al canvi climàtic futur no estan ben establerts.

Abstract:

Since their uplift and emergence in the Miocene, the predominantly limestone horst massifs of Crete have been incised by steepland rivers, but Quaternary climate changes have also resulted in alluvial cut-and-fill sequences within the valleys. Distinctive wave-cut notches up to 9 m above present mean sea level around southwestern Crete have been dated, and uplift ascribed to the documented earthquake of AD 365. Ground surveys, geomorphological mapping, sedimentological investigations, and geochronology (OSL, radiocarbon, uraniumseries, and dendrochronology) have enabled detailed reconstruction
