Raichel, Chair 2727 Moore Ln., Fort Collins, CO 80526 Chair’s Introduction—8:30 Invited Papers 8:35 4aAA1. Renovating Teatro alla Scala Milano for the 21st century, Part I. Higini Arau ͑Travesera de Dalt, 118, 08024 Barcelona, Spain, [email protected]͒ Teatro alla Scala of Milan, known simply as La Scala throughout the world, is an old but venerable opera house that achieved legendary status in the world of music. A great number of singers of Olympian status have sung there; and major operas, among them Verdi’s Falstaff and Otello and Puccini’s Turandot, premiered there. The 227-year-old theater is beloved with a passion by the Milanese and the Italians, but it has suffered the ravages of time. It needed to be renovated in order to reverse material decay, meet current fire codes and security requirements, incorporate a new HVAC system, and to accommodate badly needed modern stage machinery. This renovation project took 3 years during which the theater was closed, and it included the construction of an elliptical 17-floor fly tower, designed by architect Mario Botta, for housing rehearsal rooms and serving as a scenery changing facility. The renovation proposal originally aroused a strong sense of melodrama among the extremely excitable Italian opera buffs who feared the desecration of their beloved edifice, but the acoustics and the beauty ͑carried out by Elisabetta Fabbri Architect͒ of the auditorium were preserved ͑and even enhanced͒. -

Restoring Silvopastures with Oak Saplings: Effects of Mulch and Diameter Class on Survival, Growth, and Annual Leaf-Nutrient Patterns

Forty silvopastoral systems consisting of pastureland and months after planting, all treatments showed high open oak woodlands are known as Dehesas.

Gum Resin Pinewoods of France, Spain and United States in the 19 Th and 20 Th Centuries
Juan Luis Delgado. Industrialization and landscape: gum resin pinewoods of France, Spain and United States in the 19 th and 20 th centuries. Estudios Rurales, Vol 6, N° 11, ISSN 2250-4001, CEAR-UNQ, Buenos Aires, segundo semestre de 2016, pp., 48-69 Industrialization and landscape: gum resin pinewoods of France, Spain and United States in the 19 th and 20 th centuries Abstract Gum resin as natural resource has a long history. In regard to landscape transformation has been quite decisive in numerous pinewoods, however, it is barely known outside places of production and consumption. In the last two centuries the demand of its main by-products, spirit of turpentine and rosin, grew exponentially while chemical industries such as paint and varnish, paper, rubber, soap, etcetera, were increasing its production. Considering that was necessary to keep the forest standing in order to get the gum resin I am going to compare the situation of pinewoods in France, Spain and United States, to show the consequences in the landscape of this industrial activity in different contexts and backgrounds. The most important cause in pinewoods transformation into «organic machines» was forestry, and politics; nevertheless, its application depended upon regional and national trajectories. The case of gum resin pinewoods is a good example of how industrialization had to deal with nature to obtain organic chemical products, studying intensely the mechanisms of the forest and the pine with the economical and ecological idea that preserve them was the aim, and so, transforming them into a crop of pines with its socio-environmental consequences. -
Sustainable Harvesting
Sustainable harvesting Non-timber forest products South Xuan Lac Species and Habitat Conservation Area Cho Don district, Bac Kan province, Vietnam Michael Dine and Tran Quang Dieu August 2012 Sustainable harvesting of non-timber forest products 2 This guide was produced as part of a project funded by the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund*: Strengthening community conservation of priority sites within the Ba Be / Na Hang Limestone Forest Complex. People Resources and Conservation Foundation implemented this project in partnership with Fauna & Flora International and the Center for Plant Conservation, Vietnam. The project aims were to improve both the conservation of threatened species and the management of natural resources in the Ba Be / Na Hang Limestone Forest Complex, Tuyen Quang and Bac Kan provinces, northern Vietnam. This forest complex is an area of high biodiversity significance and full of conservation hotspots. Its biodiversity and ecosystem have been degraded, mainly due to shifting cultivation, hunting, logging, and increasing population density. The area includes primates such as the critically endangered Tonkin snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus avunculus), the endangered Francois’ langur (Trachypithecus francoisi), and conifer and magnolia species. It also forms part of the restricted home range of the largely unknown White-eared night heron (Gorsachius magnificus). * Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund is a joint initiative of l’Agence Française de Développement, Conservation International, the Global Environment Facility, the Government of Japan, the MacArthur Foundation and the World Bank. A fundamental goal is to ensure civil society is engaged in biodiversity conservation. Citation: Dine, Michael and Tran Quang Dieu (2012). Sustainable harvesting: non-timber forest products. -
