Litter decomposition across a post-fire chronosequence in Mediterranean pine forests.

Sazeides C., Christopoulou A., (Corresponding) Fyllas N.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Litter decomposition is a key component of the global carbon cycle, and a process of great importance for the function of forest ecosystems. The rate of litter decomposition shows significant variation both between different forest types and within forests of different successional stage...Read more

Validation of surveillance applications and low-cost drone for mapping and exploitation of forest areas in urban environment

(Corresponding) Stergiadou A., Kolkos G., Tselepis A.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Τhe municipalities of big cities utilize public green areas within the urban fabric, in order to create a small-scale natural environment for the community. The methods and the instruments for surveying and implementing topographic projects differ in quality, accuracy, time and cost. The purpose of...Read more

Topographical map of infrastructures in forest areas and site inspections for nature development and protection, produced by using a low-cost Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles - evaluation case

(Corresponding) Stergiadou A., (Corresponding) Kolkos G.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Site inspections of the road network and the infrastructures in forest areas are crucial for development and protection of natural environment from several disasters such as forest fires. A digital topographical map can be an administrative tool to the Civil Protection and to Forest Offices for...Read more

Effect of Castanea sativa plantation age on soil bacterial communities

(Corresponding) Alvarez-Lopez V., Ferreiro-Dominguez N., Mosquera-Losada R.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Soil microbial communities are involved in key processes of forest ecosystems that include decomposition of organic matter, cycling of nutrients or formation of structure. The composition and diversity of these communities depend on a large number of factors such as humidity, pH, nutrient levels, C...Read more

Production parameters and nutritional value of Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom cultivated on agricultural wastes

Melanouri I., Fourtaka K., Papanikolaou S., (Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The influence of two alternative agro-residues (barley and oat straw-ΒΟ and beech wood residues-ΒW) used as main cultivation substrates in respect to wheat straw-WS was examined on the production and quality characteristics of Pleurotus ostreatus, strain AMRL 144. Evaluation included fungal bio-...Read more

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
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
