Descrizione linee ricerca
Nella stress ecology e più in generale in ecologia è importante valutare la presenza di fattori di stress, spesso antropici, che possano alterare la struttura e le funzioni dei diversi ecosistemi terrestri e acquatici. Fra gli stress vi sono i contaminanti, oggetto di studio dell’ecotossicologia. La presenza dei contaminanti, i loro livelli nelle fasi ambientali e la loro tossicità determinano il rischio per gli ecosistemi. Nella valutazione del rischio per gli ecosistemi è quindi fondamentale conoscere il destino ambientale dei contaminanti (studio dell’esposizione) e in particolare come le concentrazioni degli stessi possano variare nel tempo e nello spazio e quindi determinare le concentrazioni di esposizione degli organismi.
Il mio interesse scientifico si colloca quindi nel contesto della valutazione dell’esposizione ed include:
1) Lo studio del ciclo dei contaminanti organici nel sistema aria/vegetazione/lettiera/suolo oltre ai parametri ecologici che influenzano la variabilità temporale e spaziale dell’accumulo dei contaminanti organici nelle piante.
2) Lo studio dei fattori che influenzano Ia biodisponibilità e la degradabilità dei contaminanti organici nel suolo e nella fillosfera delle foglie.
3) La modellazione del ciclo ambientale dei contaminanti per predire il loro destino e in ultima analisi l'esposizione degli ecosistemi, mediante lo sviluppo di modelli dinamici multimediali.
4) La calibrazione e “validazione” dei modelli dinamici di cui sopra.
