The role of peripherality in the spread of pandemic
The first wave of COVID-19 arrived in Europe in February 2020, firstly impacting Italy, especially in the most economically advanced areas of the country, mainly located in the northern-central part of the peninsula. In general, the effects of pandemic in Italy outlined sharp differences across a latitudinal gradient. This paper focuses on Basilicata, an inner region of Southern Italy, connecting its peripherality, according to the SNAI (National…
Combining multi-source data to map vineyards in a specialized district of Basilicata (Southern Italy)
In agriculture, the geography of specific crops can successfully support productivity monitoring and farming practices management. Vineyards particularly have a key role in modeling and protecting Mediterranean landscapes, representing a fundamental asset in the economies of inner areas. In this paper, we mapped the 2017 coverage of vineyards of the Vulture-Melfese, a specialized agricultural district of Basilicata (Southern Italy) renowned for h…
Delineating the Intrinsic, Long-Term Path of Land Degradation
Vulnerability to land degradation in southern Europe has increased substantially in the last decades because of climate and land-use change, soil deterioration, and rising human pressure. The present work focuses on a quantitative evaluation of changes over time in the level of vulnerability to land degradation of a Mediterranean country (Italy) using a composite indicator, the environmentally sensitive area index (ESAI), which is the final outco…
Density matters? Settlement expansion and land degradation in Peri-urban and rural districts of Italy
Long‐term impacts of grazing management on land degradation in a rural community of Southern Italy
Depopulation and economic marginalization of rural districts have induced a progressive land abandonment in agricultural and pastoral districts. In Europe, areas at higher risk of farmland abandonment are characterized by low‐intensity pasture systems whose fate is strongly dependent on state incentives or subsidies to rural development promoting more sustainable land‐use trajectories. Especially in Southern Europe, undergrazing is the main drive…
