Evidence on the efficacy of impacts from real-world experiments in triggering transformative processes is still scarce. This study evaluates multi-actor labs to provide examples direct tackling long-standing, local, sustainability challenges.Multi-actor (MALs), a form social experiments, were implemented three coastal-rural regions France (Charente River Basin), Spain (Mar Menor), and Greece (South-West Messinia) better assess tackle interactions that govern local challenges, such as water...
Abstract Generalized additive models (GAMs) were applied to investigate the influence of spatial (subarea), temporal (season) and environmental variables (substrate characteristics, depth, temperature salinity) on relative abundance 27 demersal species commercial importance in Aegean Sea. Twelve exhibited decreasing population density with increasing whereas remaining peaked at intermediate depths. Most mainly distributed continental shelf upper slope. The dry weight percentage sand sediment...
PERSEUS project aims to identify the most relevant pressures exerted on ecosystems of Southern European Seas (SES), highlighting knowledge and data gaps that endanger achievement SES Good Environmental Status (GES) as mandated by Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). A complementary approach has been adopted, a meta-analysis existing literature pressure/impact/knowledge summarized in tables related MSFD descriptors, discriminating open waters from coastal areas. comparative assessment...
Bacterially induced calcium carbonate precipitation from various isolates was investigated aiming at developing an environmentally friendly technique for ornamental stone protection and restoration.Micro-organisms isolated samples identified using 16S rDNA biochemical tests promoted in solid novel liquid growth media. Biomineral morphology studied on marble with scanning electron microscopy. Most demonstrated specimen weight increase, covering partially or even completely the surfaces mainly...
Abstract Aspects of paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic evolution the north Aegean Sea through Holocene are revealed by study quantitative variations in planktonic foraminiferal, pteropodal, palynomorph assemblages; isotopic composition foraminifera; hydrographic-related indices, extracted from two high-sedimentation rate cores North Trough. Focusing on last ~10 cal ka BP, current subdivision (Greenlandian, Northgrippian, Meghalayan) confirms traditional understanding an wetter...
