Hydrogeochemical aspects of a typical mediterranean temporary pond in Western CreteHydrogeochemical aspects of a typical mediterranean temporary pond in Western Crete Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2015-11-102006enThe Mediterranean temporary ponds (MTPs) are “priority habitats for conservation” (Natura code: 3170*), according to the Habitat Directive of the European Union (92/43/EC) and they are considered as ecological ornaments of the environment. They possess peculiar hydroperiods that provide habitat to many rare and endangered species. The geochemical conditions that prevail in MTPs, create an unique environment, for each one, of high geochemical value, which has not been studied up to now in Greece. The objective of this work is the study of hydrology and geochemistry of a characteristic MTP at Omalos plateau. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Restoration and Protection of the Environment VIIIsrcosmos.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2015-11-10application/pdf477.4 kBfree Nikolaidis Nikolaos Νικολαιδης Νικολαος Stamati Foteini Σταματη Φωτεινη Dimitriou E.
