The presence of the potentially toxic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis ovata (Fukuyo) has been observed along the Italian coast since the ‘90s. From then, intense and recurrent blooms of this seaweed alga occurred in several locations of the Tyrrhenian Sea and Adriatic Sea.

Climate normals are the mean or characteristic values of a climate variable in a long time interval. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) established that the length of the reference period should be 30 years,  recommending to update the normals every 10 years, in order to provide representative reference values for recent climatic conditions. 

The 17th report "Gli Indicatori del Clima in Italia" describes the Italian climate in the year 2021 and updates the estimate of climate variations in the last few decades. It is based on climate data, indices and indicators derived from the "National System for the collection, processing and dissemination of climate data" (SCIA,  www.scia.isprambiente.it ) developed by ISPRA in collaboration with National System of Environmental Protection national and regional meteorological monitoring networks.

Ecotoxicology booklet

Alien species are animal and plant organisms introduced accidentally or intentionally by humans outside their origin area. Maritime traffic is one of the species’ pathways of introduction, therefore, studying the alien populations that invaded port environments can help to fill the knowledge gaps on their invasion routes and impacts on local biodiversity and ecosystems.

The growing attention of citizens with respect to exposure to chemicals has prompted ISPRA to investigate the issue of biocidal products, in particular the use against the tiger mosquito, an insect well known for its widespread adaptation in our cities.  

This book of the “Nature and Biodiversity” series is the result of an agreement between ISPRA, ARPA Umbria, the University of Perugia and the Perugino Naturalistic Mycological Center stipulated in 2021.
