Introduction As in the previous years we hereby want to report on our plant collecting activities in 2006 and their results. By that we want to inform all partners and contributors to Flora Hellenica on the recently collected plant material and on the visited regions of Greece. The plant collection is now available in Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem. This material will hopefully be used for an updating of the published two volumes of Flora Hellenica and for the elaboration of the future volumes. In 2006 we have been in the North of Greece from April 4th to May 7th. In this time we visited mostly lowland and hillside regions in the prefectures of Kozanis, Imathia, Kilkis, Serres, Drama and Thessaloniki, that seemed to be undercollected in the past time. We collected plants at 341 localities. 142 of these localities had been agricultural sites, 98 oak-woods, scrubs and mixed woods, 98 Quercus coccifera-scrubs, 60 rocky areas, mostly rocky slopes along the roadside, 16 pinewoods and 60 herbal roadsides. No isolated areas, isolated mountains, deep valleys or islands. The chance to find spectacular species, specialized variaties or maybe endemisms was very low. Nevertheless it made sense to have a close look at thes areas and regions to complete the distribution of a lot of species, especially of those of agricultural areas. Visited localities of are shown in the following map. Fig. 1: Localities visited in year 2006 3 As can be seen in the following figure 64 % of visited localities have been at an altitude lower than 300 m. 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 0-95 100-195 200-295 300-395 400-495 500-595 600-695 700-795 800-895 900-995 1000- 1350 fig. 2: Vertical distribution of localities visited in spring 2006 (number of localities above altitude in m) As in the previous years we have planned our daily collection on base of 10 x 10 km-UTM-squares. Within these we selected typical topographical sites and biotopes and tried to collect all species flowering and fruiting as far as they had been seen and identified by us. At second and third collection points within the same square we tried to avoid doublings. As in the past years we used 6 presses each of them calculated for approximately 50 plants, this means an overall capacity of 300 plants per day. For optimal use of the available capacity of the six presses we had to place in each press between 8 and 12 times two plants between the corrugated cardboard instead of the normal 1 plant. This did not cause any qualitative problem. The reason is that we optimised again the used combination of C-line (3,2-3,9 mm) and B-line (2,2-3,0 mm) corrugated cardboard. Over night we used a continuous change of B- and C-line corrugated board. The drying result over night was such good, that the remaining number of slightly wet plants in the morning had been approximately 30-50 specimen only. After rainy days, having collected really wet plants, the remaining number of slightly wet plants could increase up to 100 plants. To replace dried material it is necessary to open the presses in the morning, to select dried plants, to remove tissue material for example from big-flowering Verbascum and in some cases to turn plants by 180 °. Time consumption for the morning inspection is in the range of 12-15 minutes for each press. The drier the plants the less time is needed for controll. For the further drying it is absolutely necessary to use a different combination of corrugated board using 2 B-line followed by 1 C-line and, additionally taking out one of the four infra-red lamps. These measures are necessary to avoid negative high temperatures. Using this technique quality and especially colour of dried plants, even if they filled the whole paper surface, has been astonishing even. It has proved positively to underlay and to cover the flowers of some species like Papaver, Glaucium, Helianthemum, Verbascum, Linum with one line of tissue. These tissues should be removed after 8-10 hours drying (not really necessary for Papaver and Rosa). All plants are mounted labelled and, as far as possible, determined by ourselves. The labels contain the following informations: 4 Sheet-No.: Family: Species: State, Nomos, Locality, Date Biotope, Altitude Short-cut of Locality, UTM, Greenwich Collectors: Sheet-Numbers of this Locality The determination helps us very much to improve the collection process. Though we are no botanists we try to determine the plants at least until level of genus including all failures an amateur is able to do. We hope to minimize determination mistakes as far as possible and hope that all users will excuse our poor knowledge. For our own quality control it is very important that our plant sheet will be gone through, confirmed or corrected by specialists. Determined species are added to our access data-base and finally delivered to the herbarium of the Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem. Here they are waiting for the neccessary scientific assessment. 2.

  • The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia
    XII. The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia by Iakovos D. Michailidis Most of the reports on Greece published by international organisations in the early 1990s spoke of the existence of 200,000 “Macedonians” in the northern part of the country. This “reasonable number”, in the words of the Greek section of the Minority Rights Group, heightened the confusion regarding the Macedonian Question and fuelled insecurity in Greece’s northern provinces.1 This in itself would be of minor importance if the authors of these reports had not insisted on citing statistics from the turn of the century to prove their points: mustering historical ethnological arguments inevitably strengthened the force of their own case and excited the interest of the historians. Tak- ing these reports as its starting-point, this present study will attempt an historical retrospective of the historiography of the early years of the century and a scientific tour d’horizon of the statistics – Greek, Slav and Western European – of that period, and thus endeavour to assess the accuracy of the arguments drawn from them. For Greece, the first three decades of the 20th century were a long period of tur- moil and change. Greek Macedonia at the end of the 1920s presented a totally different picture to that of the immediate post-Liberation period, just after the Balkan Wars. This was due on the one hand to the profound economic and social changes that followed its incorporation into Greece and on the other to the continual and extensive population shifts that marked that period. As has been noted, no fewer than 17 major population movements took place in Macedonia between 1913 and 1925.2 Of these, the most sig- nificant were the Greek-Bulgarian and the Greek-Turkish exchanges of population under the terms, respectively, of the 1919 Treaty of Neuilly and the 1923 Lausanne Convention.

  • Political and International Implications of Integrated Water Resources Management of Transboundary River Basins: the Case of Axios/Vardar River Basin”
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE UNIVERSITY OF MACEDONIA DEPARTMENT OF BALKAN, SLAVIC AND ORIENTAL STUDIES MASTER PROGRAMME IN “POLITICS AND ECONOMICS OF CONTEMPORARY EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE” DISSERTATION “Political and International implications of integrated water resources management of transboundary river basins: The case of Axios/Vardar River basin” MICHAIL I.TSAVDARIDIS Graduate of Political Sciences Thessaloniki 2013 Abstract Abstract The political rivalries over the water resources are highly increased due to their scarcity, several types of pollution, increasing water consumption and several environmental shifts. These tensions are a result of the great number of transboundary river basins worldwide (261). The international institutions promote a remarkable legal framework in order to regulate those dimensions amongst the riparian states. The new EU Water Framework Directive 2000/60 and the decisions of Helsinki convention could be the road map for integrated water resources management (IWRM). In Greece the main renewable resources are “imported” and for this reason the necessity of an IWRM is obvious and a hard task at the same time. This dissertation focuses on the Axios/Vardar river basin and examines the possibility of a possible transnational cooperation in respect of the international law framework. i Table of Contents Table of Contents Abstract .........................................................................................................................

Papadopoulos, Chair This research project examines the appearance and proliferation of some of the earliest cremation burials in Europe in the context of the prehistoric north Aegean. Using archaeological and osteological evidence from the region between the Pindos mountains and Evros river in northern Greece, this study examines the formation of death rituals, the role of landscape in the emergence of cemeteries, and expressions of social identities against the backdrop of diachronic change and synchronic variation. I draw on a rich and diverse record of mortuary practices to examine the co-existence of cremation and inhumation rites from the beginnings of farming in the Neolithic period

    Motorcycle tour Greece, to Serres, Fort Roupel & Kerkini Lake, self guided on a BMW Motorcycle tour Greece, to Serres, Fort Roupel & Kerkini Lake, self guided on a BMW Duration Difficulty Support vehicle ﻻ días Easy-Normal 4 Language Guide ﻻ en Serres is the place where cultures and religions met. Although there is no muezzin to call the faithful to prayer there are still in existence three extremely well-preserved buildings left from the Ottoman occupation that ended in 1913. Two mosques – the Tsitsirli and Ahmet Pasha – and the third is the Bezesteni market, which now houses the Archaeological Museum and it is well known for its 6 domes. If you have a sweet tooth then Serres is the place to be! They have wonderful Turkish delights, Akanedes in the local dialect and Loukoumia in Greek, as well as the most famous Bougatsa, a pastry pie filled with crème patisserie and dusted with powdered sugar. There are varieties of bougatses with savoury fillings like cheese, spinach or minced meat but nothing compares to the sweet sugary taste of the original! Lake Kerkini in the shade of Mount Beles is a wetland full of wonderful pictures. Boating with the "blavas", the name for the boats, the picturesque villages and the rare fauna make up a frame of absolute enjoyment. Fort Rupel, the largest underground fort amongst the 21 forts named “Metaxas Line”, a reference point of the Greek resistance to the upcoming occupation, fills the visitor with pride. Alistrati cave complex is one of the largest and most beautiful systems in Greece.
