Research focused on the response of specific physiological parameters of photosyntesis in relevant crops to the modification of environmental conditions like high CO2 concentration, nutrients deficiency, drought stress, elevate temperatures, etc. The study was carried out in the USA, the UK and Switzerland, evaluating the responses of important physiological processes...
Phytoremediation is a technique to remediate polluted soils with the use of plants and their capability of adsorbing, degrading, immobilizing or metabolizing pollutants in their tissues. The phytoremediation experiences of our Firm have been addressed mainly at the remediation of polluted soils and at the treatment of sewage sludges. Projects...
Research on the effects of global change on the plant kingdom and the understanding of how plants react to atmospheric CO2 increase is a strategic topic for our future. The following studies simulated – in open-air conditions – the foreseeable situation and thus verified how plants mitigate those effects, making...
PM10 dusts identify the particulate matter with a diameter less than 10 micron, also known as inhalable dusts due to their ability to penetrate the upper section of the breathing apparatus (from nose to larynx). According to their physiological resistance, plants are able to filter particulate matter by intercepting it...
The urban ecosystem and its ecological complexity is one of the main fields of study of our Firm. Understanding the ability of plants to bring multiple benefits to the urban environment, at the cultural, environmental, psychophysical, social and economic level, is one of the main principles to aknowledge in order...
The restoration of historic gardens is based upon the knowledge and evaluation of the existing plants assets, from a botanic, health, static, historic, and cultural point of view. In addition to the careful research and investigation of archived materials, the restoration of the historic garden needs a thorough “in situ”...
Our Firm organize and participate to conferences and events about landscape architecture, envronmental sustainability, historic gardens restoration and urban ecosystem research. We collaborate with associations, research centers and universities in Italy and abroad.
Our professional activity involves also education and teaching. Our experts organize professional training course on landscape design and teaching at university and master degree level.
Our multidisciplinary team actively collaborates with some of the major magazines and publications in the field of landscape architecture in Italy and internationally.
