HIGHLY STRUCTURED BACINO / EXPERIMENTAL SITE "BONIS" - Località Petrarella - Longobucco (CS) - Sila National Park (CS) To assess the impact of forest cover on the hydrological balance and surface runoff through: meteoclimatic and flow rate measurements, necessary for hydrological and forest modelling at a basin scale, dendro auxometric surveys on the forest stand and soil sampling aimed at determining the chemical-physical characteristics of the soil itself.

Microscopy Laboratory (L0.04)Head and Person in Charge: Laura Gargiulo The following activities are mainly carried out here: optical microscopy investigations for the characterisation of plant tissues and natural and artificial porous materials; digital acquisition of the relevant microscopic fields for subsequent image analysis.
Waterstem (PRIN2020). The goal of WATERSTEM is to unravel the interactions between carbon and water cycles as to understand the modulating effect of the vegetation on water-supply deficit (as opposed to the more frequently addressed meteorological drought) and its impact on water resources and natural ecosystems in Mediterranean climates.
TeleNitro (PRIMA): New low cost crop strategies based on biodiversity and remote sensing to reduce the application of nitrogen fertilisers in the Mediterranean area.
Real time smart irrigation management at multiple stakeholders' levels Project Manager: Francesca De Lorenzi; francesca.
ICOS Soil Ecology Laboratory (L0.01) Head and person in charge: Luca Vitale The following activities are carried out here: determination of soil emissions of reactive and climate-altering gases; determinations of microbial biomass and biological activity of soils in the processes of respiration, nitrification, denitrification and production of biogenic gases.
