Temporal Evolution of Seasonal Crop‐Specific Climatic Indices in Greece, Based on ERA- and CMIP6- derived Data

Papadopoulou A., (Corresponding) Mavrommatis T.
Topic: 
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
This study presents an updated temporal evolution of seasonal crop‐specific climatic indices in Greece, based on ERA5- and CMIP6- derived temperature and precipitation data. The indices include days with (a) daily maximum air temperature Tmax> 30◦C in spring (HD30spr) and Tmax>35◦C in summer...Read more

Microalgae cultivation in ammonia rich digestate subjected to different pretreatment stages

Palikrousis T., Manolis C., Kalamaras S., (Corresponding) Samaras P.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Anaerobic digestion has been beneficial for the energy valorization of a broad variety of residues. However, the effluent from the digesters, the digestate, usually has high ammonia nitrogen, requiring additional measures for its management. Photosynthetic microalgae assimilate nitrogen, and can be...Read more

Complementary approaches to characterize rhizospheric microbial diversity of Pistacia lentiscus in a highly contaminated mine tailing dump

Mandaresu M., Vitali F., Mocali S., Cappai G., (Corresponding) Tamburini E.
Topic: 
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Among phytoremediation strategies, phytostabilization takes place at the root-substrate interface, where excluder-type metallophytes and their root-associated microorganisms reduce metal mobility and bioavailability. The effectiveness of this process largely depends on the structure and function of...Read more

The historical background and current state of chestnut cultivation in the southern part of central Slovakia

(Corresponding) Pástor M.
Topic: 
8. ECOLOGY, ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND MANAGEMENT
The contribution is devoted to one of the oldest non-native tree species in Slovakia – European chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) At present, it is widespread at more than 220 localities. It occurs in the southern part of country, on steep slopes with altitudes ranging from about 200 to 400 m a.s.l...Read more

Multifunctional Forest Management and Carbon Mapping in Communal Lands: A Sentinel-2 and InVEST-Based Assessment in NW Spain

(Corresponding) Acuña Alonso C., Davila I., Barba-Barragáns D., Álvarez X.
Topic: 
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
Agroforestry ecosystems combine diverse land uses, enhancing forest multifunctionality and offering effective strategies to address climate change, fire prevention, and biodiversity conservation. This research aims to promote multifunctional forest management by integrating an agroforestry system...Read more

Comprehensive Target, Suspect, and Non-Target Screening Using LC-HRMS of Pharmaceuticals and Their Transformation Products in Biological Treatment Systems

Jang H., (Corresponding) Jeon J.
Topic: 
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
This study employed LC-HRMS-based target, suspect, and non-target screening to investigate the occurrence, behavior, and environmental risk of pharmaceuticals (PCs) and their transformation products (TPs) in a biological treatment system (BTS). A total of 82 compounds (43 confirmed, 39 tentatively...Read more

Enhancing electro-Fenton-based tertiary treatment for tannery effluent via Response Surface Methodology

Pasciucco E., Pasciucco F., Iannelli r., (Corresponding) Pecorini I., Panico A.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
This study focuses on improving advanced oxidation methods as a final treatment for tannery wastewater. The goal was to find the best conditions for an electrochemical peroxidation (ECP) process that removes COD and color from tannery effluents at neutral pH, while reducing costs by avoiding...Read more

A geospatial multi-criteria analysis for wind turbines and photovoltaic modules optimal siting on the island of Kos

Theochari A., (Corresponding) Bertsiou M., Papalexiou E., Baltas E.
Topic: 
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
The need to increase the share of renewable energy sources (RES) by 2030 raises the issue of determining the optimal sites for various RES units. Especially for wind turbines (WTs), there is a relevant legislative framework that requires the evaluation of distances from buffer zones. Using a...Read more

Industrial Urban Symbiosis: A Solution to Transform Waste into Resources

(Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Kora E., Antonopoulou G., Ntaikou I., Didachos M., Syriopoulos G., Lyberatos G.
Topic: 
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
The Greek EcoSite, located in Western Achaia, exemplifies the benefits of industrial-urban symbiosis (I-US) through its innovative waste treatment processes and integrated approach. By promoting collaboration between industries and urban areas, the EcoSite optimizes resource use and minimizes waste...Read more

CuO nanoparticles as modifiers for membranes for anaerobic membrane digestion

(Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Pavlopoulos C., Markouli P., Anton D., Lyberatos G.
Topic: 
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Membrane separation technologies offer a promising solution for anaerobic digestate treatment but are limited by membrane fouling and reduced flux. This study investigated the use of CuO nanoparticles (NPs) on ultrafiltration membranes to mitigate fouling and improve separation performance during...Read more
