Five years after its establishment (2016), the LTER-Greece network outlines its vision, aims, objectives and its achievements through a series of case studies. The network consists of eight observatories, focusing on innovative research topics, aiming to be both cooperative and complementary, while currently being in the process of expanding. LTER-Greece acknowledges the complexity of ecosystems and the fact that effective management of natural resources may only be achieved by addressing every sector of a nexus system in order to understand inter-dependencies, thus accounting for solutions that promote resilience. Hence, LTER-Greece focuses on the holistic study of the water-environment-ecosystem-food-energy-society nexus, in order to face environmental and socio-ecological challenges at local and global scales, particularly climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, natural disasters and unsustainable water and land management. Framed around five research pillars, monitoring and research targets nine research hypotheses related to climate change, environmental management, socio-ecology and economics, biodiversity and environmental process dynamics. As environmental monitoring and related research and conservation in Greece face critical shortcomings, LTER-Greece envisages confronting these gaps and contributing with interdisciplinary solutions to the current and upcoming complex environmental challenges.

Cette étude étudie les changements hydroclimatiques au cours de la période 1976-2015 dans 25 zones humides réparties dans les zones climatiques tropicales, arides, tempérées et froides du monde. Les résultats montrent que les paysages de zones humides ont été soumis à des changements de précipitations (P) et de température (T) cohérents avec les changements moyens sur la superficie terrestre du monde. Cependant, les paysages humides arides et froids ont connu des augmentations de T plus élevées que leur zone climatique respective. En outre, le P moyen a diminué dans les paysages humides arides et froids, contrairement au P des zones climatiques arides et froides, ce qui suggère que ces paysages humides sont situés dans des régions où les pressions climatiques sont élevées. Pour la plupart des paysages humides avec des données de ruissellement (R) disponibles, les diminutions étaient plus importantes dans R que dans P, ce qui a été attribué à l'aggravation des impacts du changement climatique par des pertes d'évapotranspiration accrues, par exemple causées par des changements d'affectation des terres. Las evaluaciones de las pérdidas de servicios y funciones de los ecosistemas de los paisajes húmedos (es decir, los humedales y sus cuencas hidrológicas) adolecen de lagunas de conocimiento con respecto a los impactos del cambio hidroclimático en curso. Este estudio investiga los cambios hidroclimáticos durante 1976-2015 en 25 paisajes húmedos distribuidos en las zonas de clima tropical, árido, templado y frío del mundo. Los resultados muestran que los paisajes húmedos estuvieron sujetos a cambios de precipitación (P) y temperatura (T) consistentes con los cambios medios en la superficie terrestre del mundo. Sin embargo, los paisajes húmedos áridos y fríos experimentaron mayores aumentos de T que su respectiva zona climática. Asimismo, el P medio disminuyó en los paisajes húmedos áridos y fríos, contrariamente al P de las zonas de clima árido y frío, lo que sugiere que estos paisajes húmedos se encuentran en regiones de presiones climáticas elevadas. Para la mayoría de los paisajes húmedos con datos de escorrentía disponibles (R), las disminuciones fueron mayores en R que en P, lo que se atribuyó al agravamiento de los impactos del cambio climático por mayores pérdidas de evapotranspiración, por ejemplo, causadas por cambios en el uso de la tierra. Assessments of ecosystem service and function losses of wetlandscapes (i.e., wetlands and their hydrological catchments) suffer from knowledge gaps regarding impacts of ongoing hydro-climatic change. This study investigates hydro-climatic changes during 1976-2015 in 25 wetlandscapes distributed across the world's tropical, arid, temperate and cold climate zones. Results show that the wetlandscapes were subject to precipitation (P) and temperature (T) changes consistent with mean changes over the world's land area. However, arid and cold wetlandscapes experienced higher T increases than their respective climate zone. Also, average P decreased in arid and cold wetlandscapes, contrarily to P of arid and cold climate zones, suggesting that these wetlandscapes are located in regions of elevated climate pressures. For most wetlandscapes with available runoff (R) data, the decreases were larger in R than in P, which was attributed to aggravation of climate change impacts by enhanced evapotranspiration losses, e.g. caused by land-use changes. وتعاني تقييمات خدمة النظام الإيكولوجي وفقدان وظائف الأراضي الرطبة (أي الأراضي الرطبة ومستجمعاتها الهيدرولوجية) من فجوات معرفية فيما يتعلق بآثار التغير المائي المناخي المستمر. تبحث هذه الدراسة في التغيرات المناخية المائية خلال الفترة 1976-2015 في 25 من المناظر الطبيعية الرطبة الموزعة عبر المناطق المناخية الاستوائية والجافة والمعتدلة والباردة في العالم. تظهر النتائج أن المناظر الطبيعية للأراضي الرطبة كانت عرضة لتغيرات هطول الأمطار (P) ودرجة الحرارة (T) بما يتفق مع متوسط التغيرات في مساحة اليابسة في العالم. ومع ذلك، شهدت المناظر الرطبة القاحلة والباردة زيادات T أعلى من منطقة المناخ الخاصة بها. كما انخفض متوسط P في المناظر الطبيعية الرطبة القاحلة والباردة، على عكس P في المناطق المناخية القاحلة والباردة، مما يشير إلى أن هذه المناظر الطبيعية الرطبة تقع في مناطق ذات ضغوط مناخية مرتفعة. بالنسبة لمعظم الأراضي الرطبة التي تحتوي على بيانات الجريان السطحي (R) المتاحة، كانت الانخفاضات أكبر في R منها في P، والتي تعزى إلى تفاقم تأثيرات تغير المناخ بسبب خسائر التبخر والنتح المعززة، على سبيل المثال الناجمة عن تغيرات استخدام الأراضي.

People perceive the importance of benefits from ecosystem services in different ways, depending on their values, beliefs, and needs. Acknowledging and integrating this diversity into decision-making processes can support informed natural resource management. Our empirical study unpicks the multiple ways stakeholder groups perceive the benefits derived from wetland ecosystem services (WES) in the area surrounding the “Gialova” coastal wetland in Messenia, Greece. The inhabitants from this region benefit from a range of WES, and most livelihoods are closely linked to agriculture and tourism. We aim to understand the patterns in commonly held stakeholder views on WES using “Q methodology”, a participatory mixed-methods approach. We identified five distinct perspectives on WES from a sample of 32 stakeholders. Alongside diverse perceptions of the relative importance of different WES, we observed a range of explanations of why certain WES are important and analyzed these through the lens of “value pluralism”. This identified tension between relational and instrumental values. Such analyses move beyond ecosystem service identification towards an understanding of value justifications and conflicts, and can support the deliberation of conflicted views, and policy design in alignment with people’s values.
