 FINISHED 
Background The link between the provision of key ecosystem services (e.g. soil retention, temperature regulation, pollination) and socio-ecosystems (e.g. mountain Mediterranean scrub, coastal dune forests) in three Mediterranean Natural Protected Areas (NPAs) is well established on the basis of long-term management experience and scientific knowledge. Hab ...

Background Certain coastal habitats such as marshes and seagrass meadows, including Neptune grass (Posidonia oceanica) meadows, are significant carbon sinks, both in terms of the intensity of gas sequestration and carbon deposits that are stored for thousands of years. Despite the importance of this, and other ecosystem services, these habitats are disapp ...

Background Pollution from agriculture is a major pressure on Europe’s freshwater resources. Nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) from fertilisers, pesticides, organic material, pathogenic micro-organisms in sediment and micropollutants are washed into waterways. This is especially the case in areas with intense rainfall and poorly drained soils. In some ...

Background For over half a century growers/farmers have been using plastic materials in agriculture, also known as agro-films. Current existing semi-intensive and intensive farming practices require the use of large quantities of mulching film and fruit protection bags (and clips to close them) since they help prevent the growth of weeds, protect crops fr ...

Background Zamak is a family of alloys, with a base metal of zinc (Zn) and alloying elements of aluminium (Al), magnesium (Mg) and copper (Cu). It is used in injection-moulding in various industries (e.g. ironwork, automotive parts, die-cast toys). According to data from the European Foundry Association, 3.5 million tonnes of zamak was smelted in Europe ...

 FINISHED 
Le captage d'eau - historiquement canalisé à partir des eaux souterraines - a été progressivement transféré vers les eaux de surface pour remédier à des problèmes de quantité et/ou de qualité de l'eau. Or, l'eau des rivières est soumise aux effets directs des polluants d'origine ponctuelle et diffuse (agriculture, industrie), ce qui contraint les autorités responsables à engager des dépenses élevé ...
