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

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

The impact of molasses on the fungal mass, valuable secondary metabolites’ production and quality characteristics of the edible wild ascomycetous Morchella conica, strain AMRL78 was examined in this study. Morchella mycelium were produced in submerged, static and agitated cultures and the C/N ratio...Read more

Biotechnological treatment of oil mill waste-water to produce high value-added mycelial products.

Diamantis I., Dedousi M., Melanouri E., Fourtaka K., (Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

Several trials with Pleurotus pulmonarius mushroom were carried out in liquid state cultures, in synthetic media containing commercial glycose and olive mill wastewater (OMW) with phenolics concentration adjusted to 10% and 30% v/v. Results demonstrated that at the end of fermentation period the...Read more

Forest Fire Sustainability: Numerical Simulation of a Pine Tree Thermal Response and the Thermal Radiative Phenomenon

(Corresponding) Conceição E., Gomes J., Lúcio M., Raposo J., Viegas D., Viegas M.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

This paper presents a numerical simulation of a pine tree thermal response and the thermal radiative phenomenon, in order to evaluate the forest fire sustainability. The three-dimensional pine tree model is made by 2289 cylindrical elements, with 1.8 m height, to represent its trunk, branches and...Read more

Prescribed fire combined with guided herbivory can control shrub development in an Iberian heathland

Álvarez-López V., Santiago-Freijanes J., Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada R.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

The high amount of biomass fuel accumulated in Mediterranean areas due to land abandonment, combined with the effects of climate change, results in high severity fires that strongly affect local environment and social communities. Traditional fire practices and livestock grazing can be efficient...Read more

Agroforestry innovation networks (AFINET): Knowledge Transfer and Innovation

Rodríguez-Rigueiro F., Santiago-Freijanes J., Ferreiro-Domínguez N., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

Agroforestry is recognised as climate-smart agriculture, being a powerful tool for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Considering knowledge transfer a capital challenge to overcome the needed transition towards this for the European Commission, the AFINET (AgroForestry Innovation NETworks)...Read more

Rural Development and Local Government - The example of the Regional Unit of Evritania in the development of beekeeping

Tasios A., Gounari S., Fotiadis G., (Corresponding) Papadopoulos A.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

The region of Evritania is a mountainous area of Central Greece. Its intense and rough terrain is characterized by lush diversity in flora and fauna species and landscapes. It has a long history that extends back to pre-historical times. However, this unique nature’s hot spot is facing during the...Read more

Mechanism of tolerance and adaptive strategies developed by Moringa oleifera (L) during its growth under a salt constraint in hydroponics

BOUMENJEL A., PAPADOPOULOS A., (Corresponding) Pantera A., AMMARI Y.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

Moringa oleifera (L) is a promising species to be used in reforestations of dry areas. A question that remains to be investigated is its resistance to salinity conditions. This work’s major goal was to investigate the response of this species in increasing salinity conditions, in order to increase...Read more

Knowledge Evolution in Agroecology in Mediterranean Areas: A Bibliometric Analysis

Franco Grandas T., Furtado Torres F., Trindade H., Álvarez López V., Ferreiro Domínguez N., (Corresponding) Mosquera Losada M.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

The loss of productivity of agri-food systems today is known, partly related to biodiversity loss. To reverse this situation, adopting sustainable agri-environmental practices has been proposed. However, there are not enough studies in the scientific literature to explain why in-depth...Read more
