Gypsum is a type of habitat widely spread throughout the world, especially in arid climates (Somalia, Australia, Middle East, USA, circum-Mediterranean region, etc.). The vegetation present on this type of habitat has long attracted the attention of specialists in the study of flora adapted to special substrates, since gypsum represents an important barrier to the growth of most plants. These ecosystems are little known in comparison to other habitats present on special substrates, even though representing natural laboratories of evolution and ecology. In this context, the Gypworld project has been developed, as a global initiative to understand the ecology of gypsum ecosystems, comes under the European Horizon 2020 research program, and which brings together researchers specialists in the study of gypsum ecosystems, from five continents. Under the umbrella of this project, different scientific meetings have been taking place, being the one held in Almeria, the third of the four that will take place, with the name of 3rd Gypworld Workshop. Thus, this monograph presents the most recent advances in the research of these special ecosystems.
Today it is not easy to talk about habitats and to think about the various threats facing them. We are living in an age in which we are poised between having everything immediately, and maintaining good living conditions on Earth. Unfortunately, this is almost impossible!For this reason it is important that everyone understands the importance of the habitats of the world and the inhabitants: including humans!This book aims to describe some of the world's habitats, their characteristics, and their daily threats. This is done in the hope that our children will see all of this tomorrow. Enjoy reading!
This book presents the outcomes of the symposium “NEW METROPOLITAN PERSPECTIVES,” held at Mediterranea University, Reggio Calabria, Italy on May 26–28, 2020. Addressing the challenge of Knowledge Dynamics and Innovation-driven Policies Towards Urban and Regional Transition, the book presents a multi-disciplinary debate on the new frontiers of strategic and spatial planning, economic programs and decision support tools in connection with urban–rural area networks and metropolitan centers. The respective papers focus on six major tracks: Innovation dynamics, smart cities and ICT; Urban regeneration, community-led practices and PPP; Local development, inland and urban areas in territorial cohesion strategies; Mobility, accessibility and infrastructures; Heritage, landscape and identity;and Risk management,environment and energy. The book also includes a Special Section on Rhegion United Nations 2020-2030. Given its scope, the book will benefit all researchers, practitioners and policymakers interested in issues concerning metropolitan and marginal areas.
Los estudiantes del Máster Oficial de Profesorado en Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y Bachillerato, Formación Profesional y Enseñanza de Idiomas (MAES) deben tener una predisposición a la incorporación de innovaciones en la tarea docente y los formadores potenciar la creatividad para la innovación metodológica y nuevos recursos pero lo que cobra una especial importancia es la difusión de buenas prácticas y de resultados de investigaciones propias en entornos profesionales. El volumen que el lector tiene a su alcance cumple una de las dimensiones para la competencia docente de innovación e investigación, es un compendio de buenas prácticas de docentes profesionales y una miscelánea de propuestas, prácticas y reflexiones realizadas por estudiantes dentro del proceso formativo que muestra los resultados los diseños y/o experimentaciones de sus propuestas de innovación.
La dolomía es un sustrato que se encuentra ampliamente distribuido por todo el globo. Su efecto geobotánico es de ámbito global. En la península Ibérica, los endemismos ligados a este tipo de roca aparecen concentrados sobre dolomías kakiritizadas situadas en las zonas de media-alta montaña de las cordilleras Béticas. Los afloramientos de dolomías se comportan como “islas ecológicas”, con una distribución fragmentada y reducida, siendo el único hábitat para aquellas especies con una intensa dolomitofilia. Por ello, debe ser considerada como un serio factor de amenaza. A esto hay que sumar el hecho de que estas especies están expuestas a la explotación mecánica de las cant...
Se pretende crear un punto de conexión entre los distintos grupos de investigación dentro del ámbito marino, donde sean los propios jóvenes investigadores los que expongan sus áreas de trabajo, así como sus inquietudes y dificultades en esta etapa. Con este encuentro se pretende mejorar la difusión de la información entre las distintas líneas de investigación, fomentando futuras colaboraciones y proyectos con un alto valor multidisciplinar.
