| Zusammenfassung |
| The paper deals some important aspects concerning the study of
desertification phenomenon that has significantly interested all European
countries of the Mediterranean basin in the last decades. The territorial
sensibility, qualitatively and/or quantitatively, of the risk related to the
desertification processes has been valued as grade of susceptibility to the
phenomenon in the study area, with respect to the hydraulic and hydrologic
conditioning factors. The methodological approach followed is based on the
classification of desertification indicators by means of a suitable
conceptual model applied to the study area in Basilicata region. The
classical desertification indexes have been evaluate referring to the study
area generating temporal informative map. To achieve such objective, the
historical series of temperatures and rainfall of several gauge-stations
have been analysed, and the first results show an increasing trend for the
temperature in last years, according to the global scale. An increase of
aridity and erosion index values is, also, outlined by the collected data
with slight reductions at higher altitudes. |
