    Rapporto dell’evento meteorologico dal 12 al 14 novembre 2017 A cura di Unità Radarmeteorologia, Radarpluviometria, Nowcasting e Reti non convenzionali Area Centro Funzionale e Sala Operativa Previsioni BOLOGNA, 21/11/2017 Riassunto Il maltempo ha interessato diffusamente la Regione portando copiose nevicate, anche a quote molto basse, come a Bologna città e Imola. Moltissimi sono stati i rami caduti in varie zone dell'Emilia, a causa della neve caduta sui rami ancora ricchi di fogliame. La neve ha interessato interamente l’Appennino dal Piacentino fino alla Romagna. Nel Ferrarese e sulla costa si sono verificate, inoltre, fortissime raffiche di vento che hanno causato la caduta di alberi.

Evoluzione generale e zone interessate Il giorno 12 novembre sull’Europa è presente una intensa saccatura con minimo sul Mare del Nord, estesa fino all'Europa centrale. Dall'Atlantico si estende invece verso l'Europa occidentale una estesa area anticiclonica che tende a convogliare aria fredda di origine artica lungo il suo bordo settentrionale sino alle nostre latitudini. Sul bacino del Mediterraneo è comunque presente un'estesa area temperata delimitata a sud da un piccolo minimo depressionario che lambisce le coste settentrionali dell'Africa (Figura 1).

  • The Waterway of Ferrara in the European Core Network
    THE WATERWAY OF FERRARA IN THE EUROPEAN CORE NETWORK Waterways to connect Europe In October 2011, the European THEIL SISTEMAWATERWAY Commission submitted an OF FERRARA amendment proposal for the IDROVIARIO regulations governing the trans- PROJECT AS PART European transport networks PADANO-VENETOOF THE EUROPEAN (TEN-T) to the European Parliament and Council. CORE NETWORK The proposal entailed two distinct parts: Guidelines for the development of the Trans- European Transport Network and Connecting Europe Facility. In December 2013 both proposals were approved and published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The program is being developed on two levels, with the goal of improving the planning of new TEN-T networks: • A global, Comprehensive network to be completed by 2050 and intend- ed to supply the central network via regional and national connections. • A central, Core network composed of 9 corridors, to be completed and operational by 2030. It will serve the most important connections and hubs within the TEN-T network: capitals, large urban hubs, the main harbours and airports. It will be at the heart of the TEN-T network, as it will contain the areas of the global network with the highest strategic value. These are key elements paramount to achieving the general goals of the project, as well as added-value goals for the EU, such as establishing missing transborder connections, multimodal nodes, and eliminating the main bottlenecks. Within the current revision of the TEN-T network, the entire “Padano-Veneto waterway system” is part of the “Core network”. All funding is provided for studies or con- struction work contributing to the project’s global objectives.

    Quad. Mus. St. Nat. Livorno, 26: 43-78 (2015-2016) 43 The alien vascular fora of Tuscany (Italy): update and analysis VaLerio LaZZeri1 SUMMARY. Here it is provided the updated checklist of the alien vascular fora of Tuscany. Together with those taxa that are considered alien to the Tuscan vascular fora amounting to 510 units, also locally alien taxa and doubtfully aliens are reported in three additional checklists. The analysis of invasiveness shows that 241 taxa are casual, 219 naturalized and 50 invasive. Moreover, 13 taxa are new for the vascular fora of Tuscany, of which one is also new for the Euromediterranean area and two are new for the Mediterranean basin. Keywords: Vascular plants, Xenophytes, New records, Invasive species, Mediterranean. RIASSUNTO. Si fornisce la checklist aggiornata della fora vascolare aliena della regione Toscana. Insieme alla lista dei taxa che si considerano alieni per la Toscana che ammontano a 510 unità, si segnalano in tre ulteriori liste anche i taxa che si ritengono essere presenti nell’area di studio anche con popolazioni non autoctone o per i quali sussistono dubbi sull’effettiva autoctonicità. L’analisi dello status di invasività mostra che 241 taxa sono casuali, 219 naturalizzati e 50 invasivi. Inoltre, 13 taxa rappresentano una novità per la fora vascolare di Toscana, dei quali uno è nuovo anche per l’area Euromediterranea e altri due sono nuovi per il bacino del Mediterraneo. Parole chiave: Piante vascolari, Xenofte, Nuovi ritrovamenti, Specie invasive, Mediterraneo. Introduction establishment of long-lasting economic exchan- ges between close or distant countries. As a result The Mediterranean basin is considered as one of this context, non-native plant species have of the world most biodiverse areas, especially become an important component of the various as far as its vascular fora is concerned.

Cerruti’, Taranto, Italy (Received 25 May 2009; final version received 22 January 2010) This article gives an up-to-date review of the status of and main changes in benthic algal flora that have occurred in recent decades along the Italian Adriatic coastline. Common traits among the main structural/functional changes observed and their causes are discussed. A synthesis of the challenges to and prospects of filling gaps in the data, ecological knowledge and protection measures are also given. Keywords: biodiversity; flora; macrophytobenthos; Adriatic Sea; ecosystem functioning 1. Introduction Over the past three decades, it has been recognised worldwide that spatial and temporal distribution patterns of organisms, species diversity and physical and biological habitat structure have changed as a result of anthropogenic disturbances, defined as any potential source of stress caused by Downloaded By: [Falace, Annalisa] At: 10:44 20 May 2010 human activities. However, change is a main feature of evolution [1], and the number of species in a region is set by a balance between speciation, extinction and the migration of species between regions, all of which can operate over long natural or short man-made time scales. Besides, on a small scale, species composition can be naturally highly variable and rare species may become abundant and vice versa.

He was the founder of the “Centro Ricerche Floristiche Marche” of Pesaro and Urbino Province. He has been a master for all of us even in the preparation of this work, with great gene rosity, he offered us his unique experience with enthusiasm. Abstract Biondi E., Gubellini L., Pinzi M. & Casavecchia, S.: The vascular flora of Conero Regional Nature Park (Marche, Central Italy). — Fl. Medit. 22: 67-167. 2012. — ISSN: 1120-4052 print- ed, 2240-4538 online. It is presented the vascular flora of Conero Regional Park. The paper starts with a brief presen- tation of the park territory (geography, geomorphology and bioclimate) that arises in the cen- tral Adriatic side of the Italian peninsula. The vegetation is briefly described thanks to the detailed phytosociological analysis carried out in the territory and to detailed maps on different scales. The description of vegetation allows indicating, for most of the species listed, their par- ticipation in the plant communities present in the area. The floristic list comprises 1169 entities, of specific and sub specific levels, that belong to 101 families and 507 genera. It also includes 64 species currently disappeared or not recently found in the study area, indicated by NP acronym (not present).

Italian Botanist 3: 99–108. doi: 10.3897/italianbotanist.3.12663 Abstract This article presents the results of a study on the bryological flora of the historic Park of Monte Sole, in the Bologna Apennines (Emilia-Romagna region). A total of 129 taxa were identified, including 9 new findings for the region. The study makes use of the regional cartographic grid, a methodology already used in the description of the vascular flora of the region, applied here for the first time to the bryological flora. If used in future studies, this method will allow a standardization of our knowledge on the distribution of the bryological flora in the region. Keywords Flora, Bryophytes, Northern Apennines, Emilia-Romagna, European Floristic Cartographic Grid Introduction In recent years, research on bryophytes in the administrative region of Emilia-Romagna (Italy) has been undergoing a new surge after several years of neglect, thanks also to the publication of the moss flora of Italy (Cortini-Pedrotti 2001, 2005) and, at a European level, of the analytical key for the description of liverworts (Schumacker and Vána 2005).
