Introduction As in the previous years we hereby want to report on our plant collecting activities in 2005 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 2005 we have been able to stay two times in Greece, from May 4th to June 2nd and from September 21nd to October 18th. This first part of the yearly report covers our excursion in May 2005. In springtime we visited mainly mountainous areas of Arta, Trikala and Kardhitsa and some localities in Thesprotia, Preveza, Ioannina, Etolia-Akarnania and Evrytania. In autumn we continued our last two autumn collections mainly in Achaia, Korinthia, Fthiotis, Viotia and Evvia. Localities of both collections are shown in the following map. Fig. 1: Localities visited in year 2005 In springtime 313 localities have been visited. As can be seen in the following figure the majority has been between 400 and 900 m. 3 25 20 15 Fundortzahl 10 5 0 1--49 150- 300- 450- 600- 750- 900- 1050- 1100- 1400- 199 349 499 649 799 949 1099 1199 Fundorthöhe (m) fig. 2: Vertical distribution of localities visited in spring 2005 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. Actually we collected on 19 (of 28) days between 330 and 360 plants. 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). 4 All plants are mounted labelled and, as far as possible, determined by ourselves. The labels contain the following informations: 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.

    National Inventory of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Greece

    NATIONAL INVENTORY OF THE INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF GREECE Transhumant Livestock Farming 1. Brief Presentation of the Element of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) a. Under what name is the element identified by its bearers : Transhumant Livestock Farming b. Other name(s): Migrating animal husbandry, nomadic livestock breeding. In the past, terms such as “tent dwellers” (“skinites” in Greek) and “house-bearing Vlach shepherds” (“fereoikoi vlachopoimenes”) were used to denote migrating livestock farmers. Though widely used, the terms “nomadism” and “nomadic animal husbandry” do not correspond to the pattern of livestock movements now observed in Greek areas, since such movements occur between specific locations, in summer and in winter. Besides, nomads did not roam but chose the winter and summer settlements taking a number of complex factors under consideration. The term “transitional animal husbandry” is more precise, as it corresponds to the international term of transhumance, which indicates the seasonal movement of flocks and shepherd(s) from the mountain to the plain and vice versa. Unlike what takes place in Greece, where in their majority livestock-farming families continue to move along with the flocks, in many areas of Europe the entire family does not follow the movement of flocks, but permanently remains in a village, whether montane or lowland. Direct transhumance is defined as transitional animal husbandry, when the plain is the place of residence of the family, whereas in the opposite case, namely when the permanent place of residence of the family is on the mountain, it is called inverse transhumance. It is worth noting that transhumant livestock farmers of Greek areas regard as their home the mountains and not the plains where they winter (Psihoyos – Papapetrou 1983, 1 28, Salzman [a] 2010, Salzman [b] 2010).

Taking advantage of the experience gained from the coordination of the national water monitoring program in Greece and the available funding from two ongoing infrastructure projects, the Institute of Inland Waters of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research has developed the first homogeneous real-time network of automatic water monitoring across many Greek rivers. In this paper, its installation and maintenance procedures are presented with emphasis on the data quality checks, based on values range and variability tests, before their online publication and dissemination to end-users. Preliminary analyses revealed that the water pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) sensors and produced data need increased maintenance and quality checks respectively, compared to the more reliably recorded water stage, temperature Citation: Panagopoulos, Y.; Konstantinidou, A.; Lazogiannis, K.; (T) and electrical conductivity (EC). Moreover, the data dissemination platform and selected data Papadopoulos, A.; Dimitriou, E.

Here we assess the project of the interbasin water transfer from the river Acheloos to the river Pinios basin which has intrigued the Greek society, the politicians and scientists for decades. The set of criteria we apply originate from a previous study reviewing four interbasin water transfers and assessing whether an interbasin water transfer is compatible with the concept of integrated water resources management. In this respect, we assess which of the principles of the integrated water resources management the Acheloos to Pinios interbasin water transfer project does or does not satisfy. While the project meets the criteria of real surplus and deficit, of sustainability and of sound science, i.e., the criteria mostly relat- ed to the engineering part, it fails to meet the criteria of good governance and balancing of existing rights with needs, i.e., the criteria associated with social aspects of the project.

PPC, fully sensitized to the demand of Greek society for a better environment, has set environmental protection as one of the basic priorities of its policy on modernization and development. We fully recognize that the environmental upgrading of our power generation potential has been greatly delayed since the necessary investments should have been concluded in the past decade. On the other hand, we have not managed as yet to communicate the significant work of PPC in the exploitation of the country’s water potential through the development of significant Hydroelectric Power Plants. How many of our fellow citizens know, for example, that PPC projects secure the water supply for 2,500,000 consumers and the irrigation of 450,000 hectares of agricultural land? How many know that approximately 8,000,000 trees have been planted in exhausted PPC mines in order to create big air replenishment areas? Today, PPC executives and personnel do not only systematically follow all the developments on issues of climate change and environmental technologies, but also draw up the policies that will allow the Company to become the driving force behind the rapid development of a Green Economy in our country.

With quick steps, they move towards the western exit of the city. Looking around carefully, they rip the yellow stars from their chests and go towards the first German blockade and from there into the unknown. They avoid looking back at their hometown, a city where the most unspeakable tragedy has already been put on the rails. That same night, they sleep in a ditch outside the city, but with their ears to the ground in order to hear the German patrols and hark the call of salvation... The next day with the help of resistance liaisons they reach the hospitable villages of Mt Vermio. Soon others will follow ... Young men and women will be reborn in a tough and holy struggle. They will become partisans In the greek language andartes. And they will take up arms and fight the Germans, for almost two years in the free Greek mountains, where their tears will become the bullets of revenge.
