Sustainable landscapes: restoration and land use planning in an adaptive approach to climate change and desertification. Case study of Inter-Andean Valley of Cauca River in Colombia
(Corresponding) Alvarado-Solano D., Otero J., Šarapatka B.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The inter-Andean valley of Cauca River (IVCR) is one of the most industrialized regions in Colombia leading its seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) to a fragmented and degraded state. Changes in land cover may alter the climatic and hydrological patterns. In the period 1984 – 2014, 26% of natural...Read more

Spatial explicit evaluation of potential future developments of forests due to climatic change and nitrogen deposition
Dr. Jenssen M., Dr. Nickel S., (Corresponding) Dr. Schröder W.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
Climate change and atmospheric nitrogen deposition can impact the integrity of ecosystems. Therefore, the EU Biodiversity Strategy foresees that Member States map and assess the state of ecosystems and their services in their national territory. By example of Germany, this article presents a...Read more

Characterization and toxicity assessment of industrial microplastics made of Bakelite
(Corresponding) Kalčikova G., Rozman U., (Corresponding) Skalar T.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Microplastic research has focused mainly on particles made of polymers from ordinary consumer plastic products while industrial plastics has been largely overlooked. However, industrial plastics as Bakelite can be of a great importance due to their extensive use and unknown impact on the...Read more
Creating the base for MSP; depicting the environmental status of Inner Ionian-Korinthiakos Gulf
(Corresponding) PARAMANA T., KARDITSA A., MILATOU N., PETRAKIS S., MEGALOFONOU P., POULOS S., DASSENAKIS M.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) reflects the need to plan and regulate all human uses taking place in the marine environment, under the scope of protecting marine ecosystems. MSP requires the identification of the specific ecological characteristics of the marine area to be managed, as well as the...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

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
