Abstract:
... Originating from a 1989 cross between "Black Gold" and "Burmosa" and selected under the original seedling number "DOFI-89.030.058", this plum is very attractive in appearance for its large size and shiny, bright red pigmentation. Blooming is very abundant and occurs very early, but fruit set and productivity are medium. It ripens in the fourth week of June in Central Italy, twenty-five days before ...

Abstract:
... In Italy the “minimal pruning system” (a definition derived from the grapevine pruning technique) is generally utilized in peach orchards. One of its main rules is to initially obtain a “free spindle bush” shape, avoiding cutting back the scion at planting time but using lateral shoots to form future fruiting branches. This experiment involved a comparison of three high density peach plots ...

Abstract:
... Simultaneous measurements of airborne radionuclides 7Be and 210Pb, together with aerosol mass load PM10, have been routinely carried out at the Global WMO-GAW station of Mt. Cimone (Italy, 2165 m a.s.l., 44° 12′ N, 10° 42′ E) from 1998 to 2011. The experimental activity was started with the purpose of gaining a better understanding of the vertical and horizontal transports taking place at this sit ...

The lake is located in the coastal infra-Mediterranean vegetation belt at 2 m a.s.l. Pollen, charcoal and sedimentological analyses are used to explore linkages among vegetation, fire and climate at a decadal scale over the past 1200 years. A dry period fr ...

Abstract:
... An alpine ice core, extracted from the Adamello glacier (Central Italian Alps), was analyzed in its entire length through low background γ-spectroscopy, for the detection of 137Cs. Our results show that in glacier ice 137Cs is tightly bound to insoluble particulate matter inside the ice core, and it is therefore possible to restrict γ-spectroscopy analysis to particulate matter only. We show how t ...
