between the two vast continental plates of Africa and Eurasia, which have given rise to the very complex morphology and geology. Volcanic fields, sulfataras, old and more recent calderas are found. There is still tectonic activity and this constitutes a hazard especially in

the central and eastern parts of the region. The region is also characterised by its broken form with numerous large (Italy, Iberian Peninsula, Greece) and smaller peninsulas, several large mountainous islands (Cyprus, Crete, Malta, Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia) as well as a multitude of smaller islands 

The Mediterranean climate isunpredictable, with diurnal temperature fluctuations, significant influences of winds, short lived but powerful deluges and occasional prolonged droughts. At the local scale, the Mediterranean region is known for pronounced climatic differences over very short distances because of factors such as slope, exposition, distance from sea, steepness, and parent rock type. Temperatures are generally highest in the east, but annually protracted periods with temperatures over 30°C occur in all parts of the region.

In his treatise his geographical thinking was expanded into a more general “description of the world in physical terms.”  This important work motivated a holistic perception of the universe as one interacting entity.

As far as the agricultural sector is concerned, there will be significant effects, as, key elements of the Mediterranean diet which have difficulty adapting to new climatic conditions, will get in danger. Changes in the number of days at risk of fire are also an important parameter for areas growing olive, orange, peduncula and more. The most significant increases are estimated in the agricultural areas of central Greece with up to 20 additional days of fire risk per year. As far as rainfall is concerned, winter rainfall is generally reduced by up to 15% in the regions of Serres, Pella and Heraklion. On the contrary, in most agricultural areas there is an increase in autumn rainfall. Specifically, the regions of Larissa and South Evia will increase by up to 20%, while Pella and Heraklion will increase by about 15%.

Undoubtedly, climate change has already had far-reaching effects in our country, ranging from rising temperatures to rising sea levels and more frequent storms and floods. The severity of the expected impacts of climate change varies with the region, but tackling it requires measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to global and regional levels.

They are large trees, reaching heights of 10–80 m tall with trunk diameters of 0.5–4 m when mature. Firs can be distinguished from other members of the pine family by the way in which their needle-like leaves are attached singly to the branches with a base resembling a suction cup, and by their cones, which, like those of true cedars (Cedrus), stand upright on the branches like candles and disintegrate at maturity. 

Nordmann fir, noble fir, Fraser fir and balsam fir are popular Christmas trees, generally considered to be the best for this purpose, with aromatic foliage that does not shed many needles on drying out.

Oregano is a perennial herb, growing from 20–80 cm tall, with opposite leaves 1–4 cm long. The flowers are purple, 3–4 mm long, produced in erect spikes
Oregano is a culinary herb, used for the flavor of its leaves, which can be more flavorful when dried than fresh. It has an aromatic, warm, and slightly bitter taste, which can vary in intensity. Good-quality oregano may be strong enough almost to numb the tongue, but cultivars adapted to colder climates may have a lesser flavor. Factors such as climate, season, and soil composition may affect the aromatic oils present, and this effect may be greater than the differences between the various species of plants. Among the chemical compounds contributing to the flavour are carvacrol, thymol, limonene, pinene, ocimene, and caryophyllene.

The dried and ground leaves are most often used in Greece to add flavor to Greek salad, and is usually added to the lemon-olive oil sauce that accompanies fish or meat grills and casseroles. 

Coriander is commonly found both as whole dried seeds and in ground form. Roasting or heating the seeds in a dry pan heightens the flavour, aroma, and pungency. Ground coriander seed loses flavour quickly in storage and is best ground fresh. 

Grain legumes, also known as pulses, are cultivated for their seeds. The seeds are used for human and animal consumption or for the production of oils for industrial uses. Grain legumes include beans, lentils, lupins, peas, and peanuts. Legumes are a significant source of 

protein, dietary fiber, carbohydrates and dietary minerals

They are also an excellent source of resistant starch which is broken down by bacteria in the large intestine to produce short-chain fatty acids (such as butyrate) used by intestinal cells for food energy. Preliminary studies in humans include the potential for regular consumption of legumes in a 

plant-based diet to reduce the prevalence or risk of developing metabolic syndrome. There is evidence that a portion of pulses (roughly one cup daily) in a diet may help lower blood pressure and reduce LDL cholesterol levels, though there is a concern about the quality of the supporting data.

Parnitha lies only 30 km NW of central Athens and can be easily accessed. The beauty of the scening in addition with the location of the Park makes it a great destination for turists.
The exceptional flora attracts the people and lures them to... sadly, cut many of the flowers in their path.
The unknowllege about the rarity of some speies brings them closer to extinction.

So, in order to prevent those actiions my suggestion is the following:
A volunteer organisation can act by informing not only the turists but the local people too, about the importance of the biodiversity. This could happen by open to the public speeches, or using online methods such as creating a website which will be user friendly and accessable in many languages. Also another idea in that the website would incude information about the endagered species that people might find in the area, including descriptive texts and illustration together with photos of the plants. There should be a communication system through which people would inform the volunteers about the location where they found the mightly endangered plant and then the volunteers would be ready to take actions to protect it. These action could include the restricon of the area with fences so that people can observe the plants but not step on them or cut them. Also the fences will keep wild animals too away fron the vulnerable species.
