Il volume raccoglie materiali di una ricerca condotta dalla facoltà di Architettura di Firenze assieme alla comunità scientifica toscana (cinque università, istituti di ricerca e tecnici della Regione) per definire metodologie e indirizzi del nuovo piano paesaggistico. L'obiettivo è stato quello di mettere a frutto le opportunità offerte da leggi recenti, come la Convenzione europea del paesaggio o il codice dei beni culturali e del paesaggio, per formulare politiche pubbliche e progetti indirizzati all'innalzamento della qualità della vita in tutto il territorio, degradato e di pregio. Diverse competenze, attitudini e passioni si sono unite nella speranza che la recente stagione della pianificazione possa innescare meccanismi che sappiano condurre gli abitanti della Toscana a continuare a produrre quell'opera d'arte collettiva che è il loro paesaggio, con quelle modalità e forme del tutto ordinarie che tanto hanno stupito studiosi come Desplanques quando scriveva: "Questa gente si è costruita i suoi paesaggi rurali come se non avesse altra preoccupazione che la bellezza".

"Even as the global economy of the twenty-first century continues its dramatic and unpredictable transformations, the landscapes it leaves in its wake bear the indelible marks of their industrial past. Whether in the form of abandoned physical structures, displaced populations, or ecological impacts, they persist in memory and lived experience across the developed world. This collection explores the affective and "more-than-representational" dimensions of post-industrial landscapes, including narratives, practices, social formations, and other phenomena. Focusing on case studies from across Europe, it examines both the objective and the subjective aspects of societies that, increasingly, produce fewer things and employ fewer workers"--

On a global scale, athalassic inland salt lakes are abundant, albeit restricted to semiarid and arid climates. La Salada de Chiprana is unique in Western Europe, because it is a permanent and relatively deep (up to 5.6 m) hypersaline lake (40-90 g total dissolved salt L-1) since 1700 AD. It forms part of a cultural landscape, which imposes a challenge for management. The aim of this paper is to describe the specific microbial biota and how they interacted with both animals and plant species during the last 25 years. The deeper parts regularly showed salinity stratification with an anoxic sulfide-rich hypolimnion and a bloom of green sulfur bacteria (Prosthecochloris aestuarii and Chlorobium vibrioforme) at the pycnocline. Despite highly eutrophic conditions, often the top water layer is transparent due to top-down control of phytoplankton populations by the brine shrimp, Artemia parthenogenetica. This allows for the development of submerged aquatic vegetation of the endemic foxtail stonewort Lamprothamnium papulosum var. papulosum f. aragonense, and microbial mat communities build by the cyanobacterium Coleofasciculus (Microcoleus) chthonoplastes coexisting with green filamentous nonsulfur bacteria (Chloroflexaceae). The microbial mats show photosynthetically induced precipitation of high-Mg calcite, which by incorporating viruses represents a mechanism for their fossilization.
