La reintroduzione dell'orso bruno (<em>Ursus arctos</em>) sulle Alpi Centrali: definizione e valutazione delle <em>core area</em> degli individui immessi by Andrea Mustoni, Eugenio Carlini, Barbara Chiarenzi, Simonetta Chiozzini, Edoardo Lattuada, Federica Castellani, Sara Davini, Filippo Zibordi, Laura Nave, Adriano Martinoli, Damiano Preatoni

“…La prima fase dell'elaborazione dati ha previsto la creazione di un <em>database</em> personalizzato per ogni orso, in cui tutti i dati relativi alle localizzazioni effettuate sono stati ripartiti nelle 4 stagioni - letargo, post-letargo, stagione degli amori, ricerca della tana di svernamento - che caratterizzano il ciclo annuale del plantigrado. Grazie ad un GIS, per ogni orso sono stati calcolati gli <em>home range</em> compresi tra il 100% ed il 20% delle localizzazioni (fix) a disposizione, utilizzando sia il metodo del Minimo Poligono Convesso (MPC) sia il metodo di Kernel. …”

Analysis of the geological control on the spatial distribution of potentially toxic concentrations of As and F- in groundwater on a Pan-European scale by Elena Giménez-Forcada, Juan Antonio Luque-Espinar, María Teresa López-Bahut, Juan Grima-Olmedo, Jorge Jiménez-Sánchez, Carlos Ontiveros-Beltranena, José Ángel Díaz-Muñoz, Daniel Elster, Ferid Skopljak, Denitza Voutchkova, Birgitte Hansen, Klaus Hinsby, Jörg Schullehner, Eline Malcuit, Laurence Gourcy, Teodóra Szőcs, Nóra Gál, Daði Þorbjörnsson, Katie Tedd, Dāvis Borozdins, Henry Debattista, Agnieszka Felter, Jolanta Cabalska, Anna Mikołajczyk, Ana Pereira, Jose Sampaio, Diana Perşa, Tanja Petrović Pantic, Nina Rman, Georgina Arnó, Ignasi Herms, Lars Rosenqvist

“…The spatial distribution of the highest As and/or F- concentrations (via BLC values) has been analysed using GIS tools. The highest values are identified associated with fissured hard rock outcrops (crystalline rocks) or Cenozoic sedimentary zones, where basement fractures seems to have an obvious control on the distribution of maximum concentrations of these elements in groundwaters.…”
