Emergence of temporal regimes in fire sequences

Telesca, Luciano; Lasaponara, Rosa - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 360 (2006) 2, pp. 543-547

Temporal regimes in fire data recorded from 1997 to 2003 in an area of central Italy have been detected by using the Allan Factor statistics. Our findings reveal the presence of meteo-climatic-related periodicities; furthermore time-scaling behaviour characterizes the point process of the fire...

INVOLVING STAKEHOLDERS IN FOREST MANAGEMENT:THE CASE OF MONTEMURO MOUNTAIN SITE

MARTA-COSTA, Alexandra; PINTO, Rui; MANSO, Filipa TORRES; … - In: Regional Science Inquiry VI (2014) 2, pp. 57-71

One of the main impediments to a correct forest management has to do with serious gaps in public participation and stakeholders’ involvement in drawing up and carrying out public policies. The Natura 2000 Montemuro Mountain Site is paradigmatic of this situation. By looking at a set of...

Internalizing Global Externalities from Biodiversity: Protected Areas and Multilateral Mechanisms of Transfer

Deke, Oliver - 2004

Biodiversity can sometimes only be preserved if natural habitats are excluded from human uses. Such protection measures generate positive externalities at the global scale. This holds especially for protection in developing countries that host great parts of global biodiversity. For...
