Effects of sunscreens on plants: Impact of TiO2 nanoparticles on the phytoremediation of oxybenzone
(Corresponding) Schröder P., Chen F.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Increasing levels of sunscreens have been found in surface waters, and in waste water. In most cases mixtures of organic and inorganic sunscreen compounds can be detected. Wetland plants, and vegetation along shores have been used as biological filters for this kind of pollution along beaches, and...Read more

Εffect of summer drought in the natural regeneration of valonia oak
(Corresponding) PAPADOPOULOS A.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
This paper presents an initial attempt to investigate the effect of drought in the mortality of valonia oak (Quercus ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis) seedlings and young saplings in a silvopastoral system in western Greece. The experiment was conducted in fenced experimental plots where the number...Read more
The effect of intercrop on soil properties of an agroforestry system in Kea -Greece
(Corresponding) Pantera A., Papadopoulos A., Fotiadis G., Kapsalis D., Pinelopi P., Papaspyropoulos K.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Valonia oak is the most widespread tree species found in the Aegean island of Kea - Cyclades. It forms traditional agroforestry systems since intensive agriculture is not easily practiced in the island due to the xerothermic climate and the rough terrain with steep slopes. This system has...Read more

Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Agroforestry is a traditional land use system that may represent the answer to many present and future environmental problems. However, many farmers who practice agroforestry do not identity it as agroforestry nor even accept such identification. So far, there is not an organized training method on...Read more

Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Abstract Agroforestry (AF) is a climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practice of deliberately integrating woody vegetation (trees or shrubs) with crop and/or animal systems to benefit from the resulting ecological and economic interactions. It is recognized as a proactive “negative emissions...Read more
Understory evolution related to organic fertilization in a silvopastoral system established under Pinus radiata D. Don. in an acidic soil
(Corresponding) MOSQUERA-LOSADA M., RODRÍGUEZ-RIGUEIRO F., SANTIAGO-FREIJANES J., RIGUEIRO-RODRÍGUEZ A., FERREIRO-DOMÍNGUEZ N.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Mixed pasture establishment is considered a key point to increase livestock production due to the higher quality it has compared with unmanaged shrubby species. They provide also a set of ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and higher biodiversity. Moreover, herbaceous pasture...Read more
Pasture biodiversity after five years of establishment of a walnut silvopastoral system fertilized with different types of sewage sludge
ARIAS-MARTÍNEZ D., (Corresponding) MOSQUERA-LOSADA M., RIGUEIRO-RODRÍGUEZ A., FERREIRO-DOMÍNGUEZ N.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Silvopasture is the combination of woody vegetation with forage and animal production on the same land that allows the diversification of agricultural income and productivity. In the silvopastoral systems, the fertilisation with sewage sludge could increase tree growth and pasture production at the...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
