Comparative Study of Flow through Vegetation Stems With and Without Foliage
(Corresponding) Christodoulou G., Mavrommatis A.
Topic:
River systems in diverse climates and environments
The presence of vegetation in rivers, streams and riparian zones affects significantly the flow field and consequently the resistance, pollutant dispersion, sediment transport and ecological habitat. In this paper, a comparative study is undertaken to investigate the effect of an array of simple...Read more

Quality improvement of collected rain waters by elimination of micropollutants, to sea site settlements with the use and new technologies, as suitable vegetation.
(Corresponding) Kollias P., Kollias V., Kollias S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The continuous increase of water necessities to sea site settlements, created the problem to pursues the collection of rain waters in order to use them, after their treatment to succeed the necessary quality improvement. To realize that we need at first to mark the invented water sources to the...Read more
Interactions between rhizosphere microorganims and spontaneous plant species inhabiting smelter wastelands
(Corresponding) Siebielec S., Siebielec G., Sugier P., Stuczynski T.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Processes of spontaneous vegetation of toxic smelter waste deposits are slow. However permanent plant cover, effectively limiting dispersion of metals, should be based both on introduced grasses and spontaneous species to ensure greater plant diversity and resistance of such ecosystem. The role of...Read more
Detection of disturbances of thyme habitats on Lemnos island with Landsat time series analysis
(Corresponding) Vasios G., Kaloveloni A., Alexoudaki E., Kakaroglou I., Troumbis A.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Landsat time series data, freely available in recent years, are commonly used for land cover change detection and monitoring ecosystem disturbances. The thyme habitats are areas under protection because of their high ecological value. However, human activity that leads to competition in land use,...Read more
Simulated effects of streambed vegetation on river hydraulics and the habitat suitability of freshwater macroinvertebrates
(Corresponding) Theodoropoulos C., Syrmou E., Karaouzas I., Gritzalis K., Stamou A.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
We modelled the effects of flexible and rigid streambed vegetation on river hydraulics and macro-invertebrate habitat suitability in flows/discharges ranging from near-dry to floods, in the Oinoi Stream (Attica, Greece). Vegetation was mapped in spring and summer, simulated using two-dimensional...Read more
Real-scale Analysis of Riparian Vegetation Deformations and Flow Resistance of Vegetated Streams
(Corresponding) Lama G.
Topic:
Ecology, environmental change and management
The objective of this study is the comparative analysis of the main hydrodynamic traits of vegetated streams and riparian vegetation 3D bending through the processing of real-scale measurements retrieved during field hydraulic experiments in a vegetated water body colonized by young flexible...Read more
