Abstract:
... The ‘Lemonato’ peach is a series of clones cultivated in Magnesia, central Greece. These clones were selected locally from seedling populations characterized by different time of ripening and different fruit quality traits. The fruit are phenotypically discriminated from the other peach cultivars, as they have typical yellow skin colour when ripe, very little red hue and unique flavor and taste. T ...

Abstract:
... Size spectra exhibit common patterns of variation and predictable responses to pressures across ecosystem types, functional guilds and taxonomic groups. Here, we extend the size spectra approach to phytoplankton ecological status assessment in transitional waters by developing, testing and validating a multi-metric index of size spectra sensitivity (ISS-phyto), which integrates size structure metr ...
