Meadow

If Greece takes steps to stem the destruction of its meadows of Neptune grass (Posidonia oceanica) in the Southern Aegean alone, it could reach 37% of its greenhouse gas emissions absorption target by 2030, a study spearheaded by the Hellenic Center for Marine Research has found.

A groundbreaking project has been initiated in the southwestern province of Muğla to protect Posidonia meadows, a vital natural submarine seagrass endemic to the Mediterranean marine ecosystem.

In a surprising revelation, new research suggests that climate change may lead to a reduction in the distinctive spots of female Meadow Brown butterflies. The study, conducted by Professor Richard French-Constant from the Centre for Ecology and Conservation on Exeter's Penryn Campus in Cornwall, challenges long-held assumptions about the reasons behind variations in butterfly spots.
