Application of QuEChERS-GCxGC-TOF MS method for the determination of flame retardants in aquaculture fish samples.
Efthimiou C., Sykalia D., Tsoutsi C., Konstantinou I., Albanis T., (Corresponding) HELA D.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are two groups of chemical compounds commonly found in the aquatic environment, mainly because of their widespread use in consumer and industrial products. These substances can accumulate in fish, especially in...Read more
New Insight on Homolytic Peroxodisulfate Activation by Iron Sulfides and FeIV=O2+ Formation
(Corresponding) Guo P., Sühnholz S., Mackenzie K.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
The aim of this study is to further investigate the mechanism of peroxodisulfate (PS) activation by iron sulfide crystals (FeSx) in the surface-mediated process in the aqueous environment. Various iron sulfide crystals were synthesized through co-precipitation and etch coating methods and screened...Read more
Monitoring plastic and Hg pollution impacts on two commercial species from the North Evoikos Gulf
Kostoula A., Dantsi C., Botsou F., Sakellari A., (Corresponding) Megalofonou P.
Topic:
3. PLASTICS IN THE ENVIRONMENT
This study examines the presence of microplastics (MPs) and mercury (Hg) concentrations in 230 Boop boops L., and 203 Nephrops norvegicus L., sampled from the North Evoikos during the years 2021, 2022 and 2024. Microplastics were detected in 56.1% of
B. boops, with a mean abundance of 1.74 MPs/...Read more
Assessing the reliability of four air temperature interpolation functions in estimating chill accumulation for deciduous fruit trees
Tolidis T., (Corresponding) Mavrommatis T.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Chill models, which are essential for estimating the chill accumulation necessary for the dormancy of various fruit trees, require continuous hourly temperature. To date, there has been no comprehensive study establishing the best method for filling gaps in hourly temperature records for Greek...Read more

Temporal Evolution of Seasonal Crop‐Specific Climatic Indices in Greece, Based on ERA- and CMIP6- derived Data
Papadopoulou A., (Corresponding) Mavrommatis T.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
This study presents an updated temporal evolution of seasonal crop‐specific climatic indices in Greece, based on ERA5- and CMIP6- derived temperature and precipitation data. The indices include days with (a) daily maximum air temperature Tmax> 30◦C in spring (HD30spr) and Tmax>35◦C in summer...Read more
Microalgae cultivation in ammonia rich digestate subjected to different pretreatment stages
Palikrousis T., Manolis C., Kalamaras S., (Corresponding) Samaras P.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Anaerobic digestion has been beneficial for the energy valorization of a broad variety of residues. However, the effluent from the digesters, the digestate, usually has high ammonia nitrogen, requiring additional measures for its management. Photosynthetic microalgae assimilate nitrogen, and can be...Read more
Complementary approaches to characterize rhizospheric microbial diversity of Pistacia lentiscus in a highly contaminated mine tailing dump
Mandaresu M., Vitali F., Mocali S., Cappai G., (Corresponding) Tamburini E.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Among phytoremediation strategies, phytostabilization takes place at the root-substrate interface, where excluder-type metallophytes and their root-associated microorganisms reduce metal mobility and bioavailability. The effectiveness of this process largely depends on the structure and function of...Read more
The historical background and current state of chestnut cultivation in the southern part of central Slovakia
(Corresponding) Pástor M.
Topic:
8. ECOLOGY, ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND MANAGEMENT
The contribution is devoted to one of the oldest non-native tree species in Slovakia – European chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) At present, it is widespread at more than 220 localities. It occurs in the southern part of country, on steep slopes with altitudes ranging from about 200 to 400 m a.s.l...Read more

Multifunctional Forest Management and Carbon Mapping in Communal Lands: A Sentinel-2 and InVEST-Based Assessment in NW Spain
(Corresponding) Acuña Alonso C., Davila I., Barba-Barragáns D., Álvarez X.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
Agroforestry ecosystems combine diverse land uses, enhancing forest multifunctionality and offering effective strategies to address climate change, fire prevention, and biodiversity conservation. This research aims to promote multifunctional forest management by integrating an agroforestry system...Read more
Comprehensive Target, Suspect, and Non-Target Screening Using LC-HRMS of Pharmaceuticals and Their Transformation Products in Biological Treatment Systems
Jang H., (Corresponding) Jeon J.
Topic:
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
This study employed LC-HRMS-based target, suspect, and non-target screening to investigate the occurrence, behavior, and environmental risk of pharmaceuticals (PCs) and their transformation products (TPs) in a biological treatment system (BTS). A total of 82 compounds (43 confirmed, 39 tentatively...Read more
