Wind harnessing is a fast-developing and cost-effective Renewable Energy Source, but the land impacts of wind power stations are often overlooked or underestimated. We digitized land take, i.e., the generation of artificial land, derived from 90 wind power stations in Greece constructed between 2002 and 2020 (1.2 GW). We found substantial land take...

Η διατήρηση οικοσυστημάτων υψηλής οικολογικής ακεραιότητας αποτελεί στόχο της Παγκόσμιας Στρατηγικής για τη Βιοποικιλότητα, συνάδοντας με το στόχο της αυστηρής προστασίας του 10% του εδάφους στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση. Παρουσιάζουμε τον εθνικό χάρτη των Αδιατάρακτων Φυσικών Περιοχών χωρίς δρόμους (ΑΦΠ) της Ελλάδας (https://bc.lab.uoi.gr/el/research/proj...
Article
Preserving ecosystems of high ecological integrity is a crucial target in Biodiversity Strategies, also serving the 10 % target of strict land protection in the European Union (EU). We recommend roadless mapping to delineate wilderness and monitor progress against loss in natural areas. We mapped Greece's roadless land and assessed its ecological a...

Road sprawl is a key catalyst of land-use change, the greatest threat to biodiversity worldwide, and its negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem function are well documented. Although Europe is the most fragmented continent of the world, the reduction of fragmentation from roads and artificial land does not appear in the key commitments of t...

Zagori Cultural Landscape Located in a remote rural landscape in northwestern Greece, small stone villages known as Zagorochoria extend along the western slopes of the northern part of the Pindus mountain range. These traditional villages, typically organized around a central square containing a plane tree and surrounded by sacred forests maintaine...
Data
The dataset presents the roadless areas (RAs) of Greece (2/2020) in kmz format (Google Earth). RAs are defined as those land patches of a size greater than 1 sq.km that are at least 1 km away from the nearest road. The dataset pinpoints the 1.115 RAs, accounting for 4.99% of the Greek land. The map includes high and medium confidence data. Red poly...

Οι Περιοχές Άνευ Δρόμων (ΠΑΔ) είναι εκείνες οι χερσαίες περιοχές οι οποίες έχουν έκταση άνω του 1km2 και απέχουν πάνω από 1 km από τον πλησιέστερο δρόμο. H πολιτική σύνοψη διαρθώνεται στα εξής υποκεφάλαια: 1. Τι είναι οι περιοχές άνευ δρόμων - ΠΑΔ; 2. Ποια η σχέση των δρόμων με την απώλεια της βιοποικιλότητας; 3. Γιατί οι ΠΑΔ αποτελούν μείζον πολ...

Land use change poses as the top threat for biodiversity decline, and road sprawl as a key driver behind it globally. According to the recent Landscape Fragmentation Indicator (LFI), Greece is less fragmented than the rest of Europe but presents higher rates of fragmentation increase. We developed the Roadless Fragmentation Indicator (RFI) to monit...

Στη συγκεκριμένη εργασία μελετήθηκε η επιλογή των ενδιαιτημάτων διατροφής της Χαλκόκοτας Plegadis falcinellus (Linnaeus, 1766) στην προστατευόμενη περιοχή του δέλτα Καλαμά, στην βορειοδυτική Ελλάδα. Η έρευνα πεδίου πραγματοποιήθηκε το 2012, για όσο διάστημα το είδος είναι παρόν στην περιοχή, από τα μέσα Μαρτίου έως τις αρχές Σεπτεμβρίου, με πλήρη σ...

This paper examines the use of Katsikas wet meadows by waterbirds, during the periods of winter/spring 2010-2011 and winter/spring 2012-2013. Katsikas is an area located in the southern part of Lake Pamvotis near Ioannina, a city in Northwestern Greece. The purpose of our research was to examine the importance of this habitat for the presence of th...
