Here we report some observations regarding this EXT I NCT I ON range expansion based on a relatively large data-set covering the period 1850-2011 (471 records: WOODLAND MANAGEMENT 72 published, 399 unpublished) in a large study area covering the hills and plains of Tyrrhenian Central Italy (Latium). After considering the temporal patterns of a more recent sub-set of pres- ence data (1950-2009: i.e. six decades) we identified three geographic regions: (i) a large north- ern region with an area where the species occurred historically (at least since 1950: Volsini Mts) and an area where the species occurs more recently (after the1970s); (ii) a region with two areas, one where the species occurred irregularly between the 1970s and 2000s, and, a second one where it has occurred from the 2000s; (iii) a region where the species was locally extinct in the 1950s-1960s, where significant amounts of land reclamation and forest fragmentation and isola- tion occurred in the 20th century. These geographic and temporal patterns mirror (i) some recent changes in temporal and spatial regime of coppice management, (ii) abandonment of traditional farming and cultivation of mountainous areas, leading to an increase of forested area, (iii) imple- mentation of conservation measures in nature reserves and in Special Areas of Conservation (from the second half of 1970s), and (iv) the ageing of planted coniferous forests (mostly from 1950s). These co-occurring factors may explain the range expansion of the species in recent times. INTRODUCTION liti et al. 2009, 2010, 2011, Spinozzi et al. 2012).

This investigation represents the preliminary steps of a study aimed to know the specific environmental features and dynamics prior to the eruptions of the "nenfri" of the Paleovulsini complex. The physico-chemical characteristics and some horizons morphological details such as the presence of roots fingerprint, the polyhedric angular and columnar structure suggest incipient weathering and pedogenesis. Moreover, the presence of nodules and the high salinity of deep horizons suggest the incorporation of pyroclastic material into a hydromorphic environment at the time of the eruptions, putting forward the hypothesis of a paleo-marsh under an arid paleoclimate.

The IAVCEI Collapse Calderas Commission (CCC; http://www.gvb-csic.es/CCC.htm) was created in 2008 to have a wider and deeper understanding on calderas. It includes caldera geology, geodesy and geophysics, modelling, magma chamber processes, volcanic hazard and risk management, economic benefits and environmental research. CCC promotes interdisciplinary interaction to help solve the many questions regarding the formation, evolution and affect on society of collapse calderas. Previous meetings were held at Tenerife, Canarias, (2005), Mexican Volcanic Belt (2008) and Reunion (2010). Venue The 4th Workshop on Collapse Calderas is scheduled for September 23-29, 2012, at Hotel Royal in Bolsena, Central Italy. Bolsena is a medieval village on the edge of Bolsena Caldera, that is the most distinctive feature of the Vulsini Calderas District, 100 km north of Rome.

  • Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N
    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

It has been found that the initial melt for the considered rocks was of tephrite–basanite composition. Its crystallization began with the formation of clinopyroxene phenocrysts at 1205–1100 °C, then leucite and plagioclase crystallization took place at about 1120 °C and 1080–1060 °C, respectively. The initial tephrite–basanite melt was slightly enriched in volatile components (H2O, F, SO3, and Cl). During the crystalliza- tion of clinopyroxene, leucite, and plagioclase, the composition of the initial magma changed toward an increase in the contents of SiO2, Al2O3, and K2O and a decrease in the contents of FeO, MgO, and CaO, i.e., evolved toward phonolite. A similar evolution trend is typical of alkaline basic systems.
