Investigation of the establishment and dynamics of black pine in the fir zone of Tymphristos mountain under climate change
Papadopoulos A., Katsaiti C., (Corresponding) Pantera A.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The establishment and dynamics of black pine in comparison to fir on the Tymphristos mountain, Greece, was investigated based on their growth behavior and the ecological factors governing the area. Specifically, from a black pine stand, derived from reforestations and which presently contains also...Read more
Fir decline and necrosis: the role of climate change and forest fires
Papadopoulos A., Sotiriou C., (Corresponding) Pantera A.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Chronologies of tree-ring widths of living and dead trees were analyzed from a stand of Cephalonian f ir, located in an adjacent to a burned by a forest fire area. The
purpose of the research was to investigate, from a dendroecological point of view, the fir forest dieback phenomenon, but also the...Read more

Life cycle assessment of microalgal membrane photobioreactors
Senatore V., (Corresponding) Zarra T., Lazzarini F., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The exploration of new biomass sources for energy purposes is increasing. Cultivation of algal biomass for biofuels production through photobioreactor represents an attractive and useful way to obtain clean energy, also thanks to the contribution that the system makes on the reduction of climate...Read more

Application of cutting-edge environmental technologies for the development of resilient and sustainable cities
(Corresponding) Senatore V., Giaquinto D., Zarra T., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The development of resilient and sustainable cities emerged as a solution to tackle the several challenges arising from the exponential growth of urban areas population worldwide. The implementation of environmental technologies represents a solution to minimize negative impacts of crowded cities...Read more
Mitigation potentials of tree-crops: An economic evaluation of trading-off carbon sequestration with actual market goods.
Bithas K., (Corresponding) LATINOPOULOS D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
As climate objectives are far from being reached under the prevailing policies, more concrete actions should be undertaken, and all possibilities should be exploited. Land-based mitigation potentials are emerging as a cost-effective mitigation prospect. CO2 sequestration is an essential ecosystem...Read more
Calculating Carbon Footprint in ports through a new Standard Tool: case study applications
Azarkamand S., Ferré G., (Corresponding) Darbra R.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
One of the main environmental problems in ports is Climate Change and its consequences. Since 1979, many international organizations have been working to control Climate Change. A literature review and a practical research were carried out to set up the basis to create a tool. These studies showed...Read more

Interannual large-scale variability in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and interactions with the Aegean Sea
(Corresponding) Velaoras D.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
The Mediterranean Sea and its eastern sub-basin are marginal oceanic basins subjected to strong anthropogenic and natural pressures. During the last decades new findings have revised the way of assessing the circulation and physical functioning of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Natural oscillations...Read more
Assessing the risks of climate change for cultural heritage – The CLIMASCAPE project
(Corresponding) Cartalis C., Polydoros A., Mavrakou T., Philippopoulos K., Asprogerakas E., Pantazis P., Samarina A., Zoumpaki S., Karambinis M.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
The protection of cultural heritage sites from the climate change effects is a central priority for protecting the cultural capital of Greece, and the sustainability of the related touristic flows. This paper describes the conceptual framework of the CLIMASCAPE project which aims to develop a...Read more

Adaptation to Climate Change and Spatial Planning: The Case-Study of the Region of South Aegean
(Corresponding) Lazoglou M., Serraos K.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Since the early 1990s, when climate change issues rose, the EU and its Member-States have introduced ambitious objectives and policies related to climate change adaptation, which directly affected its Member- States' climate policy framework. However, many policies concerning climate change...Read more
Effects of light stress on wheat and rye varieties grain composition
Franco-Grandas T., Álvarez-López V., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Integrating woody perennials and agricultural crops combined is a centuries-old practice, nowadays called agroforestry. Because agroforestry is being promoted by public administrations, it is essential to obtain scientific knowledge about the effect of different factors (e.g. tree shade) on crop...Read more
