Bird community characteristics as indicators of sustainable management in olive grove ecosystems of Central Greece
(2015)The role of breeding birds as indicators of sustainable management in olive groves was investigated. The data revealed significantly higher alpha diversity in organic and abandoned olive groves and maquis than in conventional ... -
Birds in a complex agricultural landscape in Central Greece: the role of landscape elements and the landscape matrix
(2012)Agricultural environments play a key role in the conservation of biodiversity in Europe. The vast majority of agricultural lands, however, are located in the non-designated wider countryside embedding protected Natura 2000 ... -
Classification and management issues of Greek lakes under the European Water Framework Directive: a DPSIR approach
(2010)The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) establishes a framework for the protection of water bodies. The aim of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) is to ensure sustainable management of groundwater, freshwater and ... -
ECONOMIC VALUE OF CONSERVATION. THE CASE OF THE EDIBLE SEA URCHIN Paracentrotus lividus
(2012)This paper presents a goods and services approach to determine the economic value of Paracentrotus lividus with the aim of clarifying the role of valuation in the management and conservation of marine biodiversity. More ... -
The effects of farming practices on earthworm dynamics in olive groves of central Greece (Oligochaeta)
(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 Organic Farming on Winter Plant Composition, Cover and Diversity in Olive Grove Ecosystems in Central Greece
(2013)The present study aimed to assess the effects of organic farming in comparison with conventional on plant composition, plant cover (%), diversity [species richness, Shannon, Simpson, and evenness (Pielou's) indexes] and ... -
Effects of soil application of olive mill wastewaters on the structure and function of the community of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(2009)Recycling of olive mill wastewaters (OMW) into agricultural soils is a controversial issue since benefits to soil fertility should counterbalance potential short-term toxicity effects. We investigated the short-term effects ... -
ENVIRONMENTAL PERCEPTIONS OF STUDENTS, FARMERS, AND OTHER ECONOMICALLY ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL POPULATION NEAR THE PROTECTED AREA OF AXIOS, LOUDIAS AND ALIAKMONAS ESTUARIES, IN GREECE
(2011)This study concerns a protected area in northern Greece and examines how local people's occupation influences their perception of environmental impacts and their views and information about the area. The target groups were ... -
Exploring social attitude and willingness to pay for water resources conservation
(2014)This research advances the understanding of people's attitude towards water resources valuation. Specifically, it aims to improve confidence in the interpretation of people's willingness to pay (WTP) for water resources ... -
Human impact on avian diversity in rural Mediterranean areas
(2015)Human activities influence the biodiversity of Mediterranean ecosystems and are involved in the transformation of natural habitats into farmland. We surveyed birds using the point count method on 288 plots at a 50-m radius ... -
THE IMPACT OF HUMAN LAND USE ON THE COMPOSITION AND RICHNESS OF GROUND AND DUNG BEETLE ASSEMBLAGES
(2014)This paper presents the results of a survey on the habitat and seasonal variation in activity density and richness of ground and dung beetle assemblages in a heterogeneous landscape of central Greece. Beetles were collected ... -
Report of Sparicotyle (Microcotyle) chrysophrii Van Beneden and Hesse 1863, Atrispinum seminalis Euzet and Maillard 1973 and Polylabris tubicirrus Paperna and Kohn 1964 (Monogenea) on captive sea bream (Sparus aurata) and sharp snout sea bream (Diplodus puntazzo) in coastal Greece and Italy
(2005)During the years 2000-2003, caged gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) and sharp snout sea bream (Diplodus puntazzo C.) from two farms in Greece and two farms in Italy (the Central Thyrrenian Sea) were examined. Sparus ... -
Species Richness and Density of Earthworms in Relation to Soil Factors in Olive Orchard Production Systems in Central Greece
(2013)Earthworms can be used as bioindicators of soil management as they are easy to classify and very sensitive to changes of both physical and chemical soil parameters. The aim of this work was to study relations between ...
