In fact, following UNESCO data, in Italy are located 2/3 of the Cultural Heritage known in the World. Archeological areas, statues, buildings, museums, churches and items there located, hypogean environments, are subjected to different stresses due the geographical position, different degree of pollution, great variety of typology of materials and consequent status of conservation. All together these factors contribute to the different modality of biological attack.

متن کاملCombining Statistical Tools and Ecological Assessments in the Study of Biodeterioration Patterns of Stone Temples in Angkor (Cambodia)
Biodeterioration is a major problem for the conservation of cultural heritage materials. We provide a new and original approach to analyzing changes in patterns of colonization (Biodeterioration patterns, BPs) by biological agents responsible for the deterioration of outdoor stone materials. Here we analyzed BPs of four Khmer temples in Angkor (Cambodia) exposed to variable environmental condit...
