    Evaluation of GOSSYM – a Cotton Crop Simulation Model – Under the Soil, Climatic and Cultural Conditions in Greece A.C. Gertsis1, S. Galanopoulou-Sendouca2, F.D. Whisler3, G. Papathanasiou1, A. Symeonakis1 and K. Patsialis4 1TEI, Thessaloniki, Greece 2University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece 3Mississippi State University, Miss. State, USA 4 Hellenic Cotton Board, Karditsa, Greece ABSTRACT In a research study in Greece, funded by EU, a dynamic cotton growth simulation model, GOSSYM, was evaluated under local soil, climatic and cultural conditions. Field experiments were conducted for three years in three locations, representative of major cotton growing areas of Greece, using four cotton cultivars under two irrigation levels, two fertilization treatments and two plant populations. The variables ranged from conventional to low input values. Weather conditions varied among the three years of experimentation. Soil analyses and weather data were collected according to GOSSYM input requirements and plant growth and yield was monitored through the growing season. The last year of the study the design included comparison of two management schemes, a conventional farmer approach and a low input strategy as suggested by the previous two years results and GOSSYM simulations. The comparison between field measured and simulated values showed a satisfactory simulation of yield and some plant characteristics and a very close simulation of total water used as ET. The results indicated that GOSSYM could be used as a cotton management tool to optimize cotton production in Greece after some variety calibration and soil and climatic site specific sites. Introduction the saturated hydraulic conductivity, the textural class and the soil’s bulk density.

The data comprised 14 wide-band (150-0.005 Hz) soundings peljormed in the periphery of the cities of Volos, Veles­ tina and N Anghialos. The spatial analysis of the ;'vfT impedance tensor shows a transition from a shallow « J km) geoelectric structure associated with apparent local structural features, to the deeper (> 3 km) schizosphere associated with large scale structures with ESE-WNW to SE -NW orientation. Quantitative interpretation was carried out with 2-D inversion and yielded high quality images of the geoelec­ tric structure at depths 3-J5 km; this depth range corresponds to the seismogenic layer. Conductive structures in the general E-W direction could be detected and correlated with neotectonic faults. In addition, a possible relic of the now extinct Mikrothivai volcano (1. 5±0.J Ma BCE) has been identified. Within the seismogenic layer the ~patial MT data correlate almost exactly with the stress field calculated by inversion offocal mechanisms from local earthquakes and appear to provide an electrical image ofthe transitionji'om the dextral NE-SW transformation associated with the N Aegean trench to approximately N-S extension in the study area.

  • An Introduction to Geophysical and Geochemical Methods in Digital 14 Geoarchaeology
    An Introduction to Geophysical and Geochemical Methods in Digital 14 Geoarchaeology Apostolos Sarris, Tuna Kalayci, Ian Moffat, and Meropi Manataki Abstract Archaeological geophysics is a range of techniques for the minimally invasive, remote investigation of the physical parameters of the near- surface environment. This suite of methods is complementary to archaeo- logical survey or excavation as it can provide information about the stratig- raphy of the survey area, locate anthropogenic traces of the past, document their spatial dimensions and—under ideal conditions—explore the physical properties of subsurface materials. Both material culture items such as a building foundations and indirect indications of anthropogenic activity such as subsurface disturbance or evidence of burning are excellent direct targets for geophysical investigations since they can be differentiated on the basis of their material properties from the wider soil context. In addition to directly locating archaeological material, geophysical techniques can make an important contribution to geoarchaeological investigations by elucidating the site stratigraphy and mapping its lateral geometry. In some cases, such as when locating prehistoric material buried offshore or within open Palaeolithic sites, the reconstruction of past landscapes may make a more important contribution to archaeological investigations than the direct geophysical detection of archaeological materials. Different material culture items have characteristic physical properties (such as electrical resistance or conductivity, magnetic susceptibility) and so require different instrumentation for effective detection. The main techniques for archaeological prospection include magnetometer, resis- tance meter, magnetic susceptibility meter, ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic induction meter. Apart from that, seismic methods (reflection and refraction seismics), gamma spectroscopy and gravity techniques are also used in certain circumstances.

Kagalou1,3* 1 Management Body of Ecodevelopment Area of Karla – Mavrovouni – Kefalovriso – Velestino, Stefanovikio, Greece 2 University of Thessaly, School of Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, Laboratory of Hydrology and Aquatic Systems Analysis, Volos, Greece 3 Democritus University of Thrace, School of Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, Sector of Hydraulics, Xanthi, Greece * e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The restoration of Lake’s Karla environment and ecosystem is studied through the evaluation of its current status. Its drainage, in 1962, created a series of environmental problems and led to the local economy contraction. The Lake Karla reconstruction project has begun since 2000. The construction of a reservoir at the lowest part of Lake Karla watershed is among the parts of this project, which will be supplied from Pinios River and the runoff of the surrounding mountains. This newly re-established water body is considered a vital aquatic ecosystem as it is listed in the network of Natura 2000 and has been characterized as a Permanent Wildlife Refuge by Greek Law. The results indicate that the delay of implementation of Lake Karla reconstruction project, the violation of Environmental Terms and the lack of environmental policy are the most important cause of pressures. Key words: ecosystem restoration, eco-technology, anthropogenic pressures, biodiversity 1. INTRODUCTION Lake Karla (Thessaly, Greece) was considered one of the most important shallow lakes in Greece until 1962, where complete drying of the lake took place - creating more agricultural land - and is now being re-constructed, establishing a ‘new’ reservoir offering multi services (i.e social, economic and ecological sustainable development of the region).

  • Culture and Wetlands in the Mediterranean: the Case of Lake Karla, Greece
    CULTURE AND WETLANDS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN: THE CASE OF LAKE KARLA, GREECE Stefanos Dodouras* and Irini Lyratzaki Mediterranean Institute for Nature and Anthropos, 23 Voucourestiou street, 106 71 Athens, Greece [email protected] ABSTRACT: Wetlands are places, often unexplored, with unique natural and cultural values that are under threat from pressures ranging from habitat pollution to climate change impacts. One of the basic prerequisites for the sustainable management of wetlands is the commitment of human societies that comes from a strong sense of local identity and lifestyle, which is consistent with local ecological char- acteristics and seeks to challenge humans with regard to environmental ethics and social responsibil- ity. While it is difficult to restore the ecological functions of degraded wetlands, it is almost impossible to restore, once lost, their cultural values. Lake Karla in the Greek Region of Thessaly was one of the most iconic Mediterranean wetlands, with very high biodiversity and vibrant culture especially in the local fisheries. Unfortunately, it was drained in the 1960s to provide additional agricultural land. The effects were catastrophic and resulted in a total loss of natural and cultural values without any benefits for the agricultural sector. A few years ago, the government decided to restore it at a very high cost, covered in part by the European Union. Apparently, it takes only a few years to destroy a wetland but it may take more than a lifetime to restore it. Managing and protecting wetlands is a challenge to which everyone must rise. However, allowing for ecological and social resilience to support biodiversity rather than trying to recreate the past maybe a sustainable way to restore certain ecosystem functions.

  • Effects of Previous Cultivation of Sugarbeet on the Subsequent Cultivation of Cotton
    S. Galanopoulou et al. Effects of Previous Cultivation of Sugarbeet on the Subsequent Cultivation of Cotton S. Galanopoulou - Sendouca1, E. Kontsiotou2, A. Gertsis3 and T. Gemtos1 1Univ. of Thessaly, School of Agriculture, Crop and Animal Production, Volos, Greece. 2 Nation. Agric. Res. Foundation, Larissa, Greece. 3Dimitris Perrotis Coll. of Agricult. Studies, Thessaloniki, Greece. ABSTRACT The effect of previous cultivation of sugarbeet, legume, cotton and corn on the subsequent crops of cotton and corn was studied in a two - year rotation cycle at two Greek locations in 1994 and 1995. This paper only discusses the two cultivation systems, 1) sugarbeet - cotton and 2) cotton - cotton. The effect of sugarbeet in cotton cultivation is considered negative based on various field observations and the personal experience of farmers. Some of the supposed causes of this effect are evaluated. Growth analysis in cotton grown after sugarbeet showed that plants had a significant delay in appearance of squares, flowers and bolls, delayed weight development of vegetative and reproductive parts, delayed Leaf Area development and reduced chlorophyll, compared to cotton grown after cotton. This difference gradually declined or disappeared during plant life cycle. Thus although cotton grown after sugarbeet yielded less in the first picking, total yield was not inferior. Soil analytical data during the second year were not found to be influenced by the previous cultivation. Heavy rainfall in October 1994 and spring 1995 possibly leached residual N and balanced the differences between crops. In addition, no sugarbeet residues were left in the soil and it was hand harvested, possibly explaining the lack of effect on the C/N ratio and soil mycoflora.

  • Comparative Review of the Most Important Weather Parameters and Their Impact on Cotton Yield Under Greek Conditions
    Comparative Review of the Most Important Weather Parameters and their Impact on Cotton Yield under Greek Conditions N.G. Danalatos1, S. Galanopoulou1, A. Gertsis2 and K. Kosmidou3 1Univ. of Thessaly, Dept. of Agriculture, Crop & Animal Production, Volos, Greece. 2Higher Technological School, Laboratory of Soil Science, Thessaloniki, Greece 3Hellenic Cotton Board, Athens, Greece ABSTRACT Important weather parameters and their impact on cotton productivity were investigated in three main regions of Greek cotton production. Daily values of air temperature, solar radiation and precipitation for the period 1994-1997 were used, recorded on data loggers in fully automatic meteorological stations installed in the three study areas. The total global radiation data were transformed to sunshine duration in hours. Crop development was assessed with the accumulated heat units method above a threshold temperature (10oC). It was found that the year-to-year fluctuations in cotton productivity could be estimated with this method, but only at a given area with similar management practice. Additionally, sharp drops in temperature during critical stages of cotton growth may result in appreciable reduction in crop productivity, even if the actual air temperature does not fall below the threshold levels for cotton growth. Introduction the growing degree-days above a threshold temperature (Mauney, 1966; Ifoulis and Fasoulas, Cotton is one of the most important high input crops in 1978; Danalatos, 1993). In consideration of these Greece. The average seedcotton yield of over 2.7 t/ha, factors, a comparative review of the most important ranks among the highest in the world. Efforts to weather conditions such as rainfall, solar radiation and increase cotton yields during the last 10 day have been air temperature are presented and their impact on unsuccessful but great fluctuations have been cotton productivity is investigated in three main Greek observed, suggesting that Greece lies close to the cotton regions, in the period 1994-1997.

RIGAS VELESTINLIS RIGAS AND KORA´S The total lack of reliable biographical information regarding the formative years of Rigas has been compensated by local legend and tradition. He was born in Velestino, Thessaly (1757?), where he received his basic education. His quest for further education took him to Constantinople (1774?) where he was introduced into Phanariot circles. He became a clerk to the noble family of Ypsilantis (1785) and later went to Walla- chia, perhaps having been admitted to Masonic circles. His contact with the Phanariot world, his time spent close to Ka- tartzis, a leading Greek proponent of the Enlightenment, and his knowledge of foreign languages, which enabled him to fol- low European intellectual developments, all served to broaden his horizons.
