Allometric biomass models for european beech and silver fir: Testing approaches to minimize the demand for site‐specific biomass observations

Dutcă I., Zianis D., Petrițan I.C., Bragă C.I., Ștefan G., Yuste J.C., Petrițan A.M. (2020)

In this paper, site‐specific allometric biomass models were developed for European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) to estimate the aboveground biomass in Șinca virgin forest, Romania. Several ...

Blame it on the metabolite: 3,5-dichloroaniline rather than the parent compound is responsible for the decreasing diversity and function of soil microorganisms

Vasileiadis S., Puglisi E., Papadopoulou E.S., Pertile G., Suciu N., Pappolla R.A., Tourna M., Karas P.A., Papadimitriou F., Kasiotakis A., Ipsilanti N., Ferrarini A., Sulowicz S., Fornasier F., Menkissoglu-Spiroudi U., Nicol G.W., Trevisan M., Karpouzas D.G. (2018)

Pesticides are key stressors of soil microorganisms with reciprocal effects on ecosystem functioning. These effects have been mainly attributed to the parent compounds, while the impact of their transformation products ...

ECOFUN-MICROBIODIV: An FP7 European project for developing and evaluating innovative tools for assessing the impact of pesticides on soil functional microbial diversity-towards new pesticide registration regulation?

Martin-Laurent, F.; Kandeler, E.; Petric, I.; Djuric, S.; Karpouzas, D. G. (2013)

Effects of the nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) on the activity and diversity of the soil microbial community under contrasting soil pH

Bachtsevani E., Papazlatani C.V., Rousidou C., Lampronikou E., Menkissoglu-Spiroudi U., Nicol G.W., Karpouzas D.G., Papadopoulou E.S. (2021)

The impact of DMPP (3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate), applied at two doses (low: recommended for agronomic use; high: > 100 × the recommended), on the function, diversity, and dynamics of target microorganisms (ammonia-oxidizing ...

Factors affecting biodiversity in agrosylvopastoral ecosystems with in the Mediterranean Basin: A systematic review

Plexida S., Solomou A., Poirazidis K., Sfougaris A. (2018)

The biodiversity of Mediterranean agrosylvopastoral ecosystems has been extensively studied, because the Mediterranean Basin is a crossroad of biogeographical influences between cold temperate biota and subtropical species. ...

Irrigation of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) with microcystin-enriched water holds low risk for plants and their associated rhizopheric and epiphytic microbiome

Petrou M., Karas P.A., Vasileiadis S., Zafiriadis I., Papadimitriou T., Levizou E., Kormas K., Karpouzas D.G. (2020)

Microcystins (MCs) are toxins produced during cyanobacterial blooms. They reach soil and translocated to plants through irrigation of agricultural land with water from MC-impacted freshwater systems. To date we have good ...

Predicting woody plant diversity as key component of ecosystems: A case study in central Greece

Solomou A.D., Sfougaris A. (2019)

The Mediterranean basin is a global hotspot of biodiversity. Woody plants are key components of ecosystems. This article explores the environmental impacts on woody plant species richness and diversity in maquis and abandoned ...

Prokaryotic diversity in biodeteriorated wood coming from the Bükkábrány fossil forest

Nikolouli K., Pournou A., McConnachie G., Tsiamis G., Mossialos D. (2016)

The oldest standing paleo-forest in the world is located at Bükkábrány in Hungary. Some 7 million years ago a sudden and rapid deposition of sands from a prograding delta resulted in rise of the level of Lake Pannon that ...

Quantifying beetle and bird diversity in a Mediterranean mountain agro-ecosystem

Plexida, S.; Sfougaris, A.; Papadopoulos, N. (2012)

In cultivated landscapes, the peculiar mosaic structure creates several types of habitat. Defining which habitats favor rich biodiversity is of increasing importance. Beetle and bird diversity was monitored in seven different ...
