Blame it on the metabolite: 3,5-dichloroaniline rather than the parent compound is responsible for the decreasing diversity and function of soil microorganisms
(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 ... -
Cyanotoxins as the “common suspects” for the Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) deaths in a Mediterranean reconstructed reservoir
(2018)Toxic cyanobacterial blooms have been implicated for their negative consequences on many terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Water birds belong to the most common members of the freshwater food chains and are most likely ... -
The effects of farming practices on earthworm dynamics in olive groves of central Greece
(2012)We compared species richness, species composition, density and biomass of earthworm communities in organically and conventionally managed olive groves in central Greece. Earthworm biomass and density was significantly ... -
Effects of sheep bone biochar on soil quality, maize growth, and fractionation and phytoavailability of Cd and Zn in a mining-contaminated soil
(2021)Biochar prepared from various feedstock materials has been utilized in recent years as a potential stabilizing agent for heavy metals in smelter-contaminated soils. However, the effectiveness of animal bone-derived biochar ... -
Environmental variation and macrofauna response in a coastal area influenced by land runoff
(2013)Macrofauna community interactions with environmental variables in the water column (salinity, temperature, turbidity, transparency, suspended particulate matter, particulate organic matter, choloroplastic pigments) and in ... -
An experimental brackish aquaponic system using juvenile gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and rock samphire (Crithmum maritimum)
(2019)Brackish aquaponics using Mediterranean fish and plants provides an alternative opportunity for a combined production of high-quality food products with high commercial and nutritional value. This is the first study that ... -
Nicosulfuron application in agricultural soils drives the selection towards NS-tolerant microorganisms harboring various levels of sensitivity to nicosulfuron
(2016)The action mode of sulfonylurea herbicides is the inhibition of the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) required for the biosynthesis of amino acids valine and isoleucine in plants. However, this enzyme is also present in a ... -
Proximate Composition, Predictive Analysis and Allometric Relationships, of the Edible Water Frog (Pelophylax epeiroticus) in Lake Pamvotida (Northwest Greece)
(2022)The edible water frog Pelophylax epeiroticus, distributed mainly in Northwest Greece and utilized commercially as food, was investigated in lake Pamvotida (Ioannina). The objective was to assess aspects of population ... -
Quantifying beetle and bird diversity in a Mediterranean mountain agro-ecosystem
(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 ... -
Unraveling microbiomes and functions associated with strategic tillage, stubble, and fertilizer management
(2022)Occasional one-time tillage (strategic tillage, ST) is an effective tool for managing weeds and crop diseases in no-till and conversative farming systems. However, there is limited understanding of the impacts of ST on ... -
Using Bayesian hierarchical modelling to capture cyanobacteria dynamics in Northern European lakes
(2020)Cyanobacteria blooms in lakes and reservoirs currently threaten water security and affect the ecosystem services provided by these freshwater ecosystems, such as drinking water and recreational use. Climate change is ...
