For freshwater species, major threats include the over-extraction of water, which in many cases is further exacerbated by increasing droughts due to climate change, pollution and the introduction of alien species. Other major threats come from farming and ranching as a result of agricultural expansion and intensification, consumptive use of biological resources, urbanization and tourism. ]]> 2019-01-31 15:14:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nikolitsa1210/jr00sr3rq22z/wish/326301701 nikolitsa1210 https://padlet.com/nikolitsa1210/jr00sr3rq22z/wish/326371205 One of the most important impacts of climate change in Greece is the increase of fires in forests.

The summer of 2007 was characterized by uncontrolled wildfires in Greece. During the 2007 summer, the country was hit by three consecutive heat waves (46°C) which, along with the strong winds and the low relative humidity (9%), resulted in forest fires breaking out. According to the European Space Agency (ESA), Greece has experienced more wildfire activity during the summer of 2007 than other European countries have over the last decade (13). In total, over 8,933 fires have been recorded in the country following the third heat wave the country had experienced in that period (14). The mountainous southern peninsula of Peloponnesus was the worst affected region: 1,477 fires broke out in the Peloponnese region, burning 10,196 km2 of land, 6,633 km2 of which were protected forests and natural areas (14). The estimation for the cost of the damages for the 500,000 people affected was close to 3 billion euros according to European sources (15), while other moderate estimations have found it to be close to 2.2 billion US dollars (16). During the 2007 summer period, 68 people were killed, while another 2,094 people were injured (17). More than 100 villages and settlements were damaged; the burned forest and agricultural land constitutes about 2 % (190,836 ha) of the total area of Greece (9,11). The large burnt areas of 2007 fires season in Peloponnese Peninsula appear to be more sensitive to fuel availability and vegetation density than to vegetation dryness (23).]]> 2019-01-31 17:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nikolitsa1210/jr00sr3rq22z/wish/326375458
