Stakeholder Mapping & Analysis for Climate Change Adaptation in Greece
(Corresponding) Nydrioti I., Katsiardi P., Chioti D., Sebos I., Assimacopoulos D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Stakeholder mapping and analysis is essential in Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) projects to assess and identify the needs of stakeholders (SHs). For the mapping of actors involved in adaptation planning and implementation in Greece, a multi-criteria analysis is followed.
The SHs involved in CCA...Read more
An analysis of THETIS-MRV data on CO2 emissions by Ro-Pax ships
(Corresponding) Kotrikla A., Zouloumis I.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
Maritime transport is responsible for about 2.5% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These emissions are expected to increase significantly if mitigation measures are not taken. In 2013, European Commission set out a strategy towards reducing GHG emissions from the shipping industry. In this...Read more
Development of an urban resilience indicator for Athens in the context of climate change
(Corresponding) Polydoros A., Mavrakou T., Cartalis C.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Urbanization interacts with climate change through the way cities are organized and built (land cover/ land use, urban morphology). Increased energy consumption and consequently CO2 emissions, combined with emissions from city functions (urban metabolism, anthropogenic heat sources) intensify urban...Read more
Changes of Photosynthetic Performance of Brassica napus Affecting Cadmium Phytoextraction Performance under Elevated Temperature, CO2 and Drought
(Corresponding) Dikšaitytė A., Žaltauskaitė J., Kniuipytė I., Januškaitienė I., Juknys R.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
This study aimed to investigate the Cd-removal efficiency from the soil by rapes (Brassica napus L.) under changing climate conditions, i.e. elevated temperature and CO2 with or without additional drought stress. As photosynthesis is the most important primary metabolic process, determining plant...Read more
Dairy farms management and carbon storage in the soil fractions
(Corresponding) Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Miranda M., Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The dairy sector is one of the main economic activities in the Spanish region of Galicia, located in the northwest of the country. In dairy farms, the type of farm management has a clear effect on climate change mitigation by modifying crucial processes such as carbon storage in the soil. This...Read more
Effect of the forage maize-pasture rotation on the soil carbon storage in Galicia (NW Spain)
(Corresponding) Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Galicia is a region in NW Spain with high economic dependence on dairy cattle where livestock feeding is mainly based on the production of forage maize. In this region, one of the major challenges for the forage maize production systems is to maximize the economic return while minimizing...Read more
Climate Adaptation and Local Institutions: An Assessment of The Adaptive Capacities of Key Sectors In Adansi North District
(Corresponding) Enu K., Ahenkan A., Ackom E., Odame Appiah D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The over-domineering of political policies aimed at perpetuating power means issues of social interest such as climate adaptation capabilities are often relegated to the background. Thus, the success of adaptation efforts often hinges ultimately on the nature of institutional robustness and...Read more

The complex of natural enemies of invasive species Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) on greenhouse-grown tomato crops conditions from southern Romania
(Corresponding) IAMANDEI M., ROSCA I., Radulea M., CHIRILOAIE-PALADE A.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
An obvious consequence of climate change is represented by the rapid spread and establishment of the invasive alien pest worldwide. Soon after its introduction in Romania, the tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta is considered the greatest threat to protected tomato crops in the area from south of the...Read more

Impacts of Wildfires on Surface Runoff and Erosion: The Case Study of a Fire Event in Pelion Area, Greece
Psilovikos A., Mpouras G., (Corresponding) Papathanasiou T., Malamataris D., Psilovikos T., Spiridis A.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Wildfires can trigger dramatic increases in surface runoff and erosion, because of the burned vegetation and the appearance of a condition of soil-water repellence. Fire-enhanced surface runoff generation and soil erosion constitute adverse effects of high concern for a long-term future period...Read more
Keywords:
Wildfires, land use change, surface runoff, NRCS-CN method, sediment loss
Impacts of Land Use and Land Cover Change in a Mediterranean Mountainous Area on Surface Runoff During the Period 1945 – 2018
Psilovikos A., Katsada A., Malamataris D., (Corresponding) Papathanasiou T., Psilovikos T., Spiridis A.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Changes in land use and land coverage strongly interrelated with changes in runoff. The effects of land use and land cover change on peak surface runoff and sediment loss, was investigated in a mountainous catchment, namely Lakka catchment located in Thessalia region in Greece.Most of the Lakka...Read more
