Assessment of minimum ecological water requirements in Lake Pamvotida – Greece, using an adaptation of the IFIM method
(2025-11-24)
D. Papadimos
Human interventions and climate change in the Greek territory, so far accompanied by higher temperatures and reduced precipitations, are already exerting pressure on the water level (WL) of the lakes (Papadimos et al., 2022). The severity of the impact of the above pressures on lake ecosystems depends on the magnitude of their WL changes, the duration, the timing of their occurrence during the year and the organisms that occur in the ecosystem (Leira and Cantonati 2008). Therefore, the identification of the ecological water level requirements (EWLR) of the lakes should be considered both necessary and imperative for the conservation and protection of their ecosystems and the services they provide. A variety of methodological approaches have been used to estimate EWLR in lakes. Among them hydraulic models, combination of historical WL data and the ecological requirements at different life stages of aquatic macrophytes, the protection requirements of specific aquatic flora and fauna species sensitive to hydrological pressures etc. In this research, we have used an adaptation of the Instream Flow Incremental Method (IFIM, Bovee 1982), which has been mainly applied to streams and rivers, to assess the EWLR of Lake Pamvotida, on the basis of the requirements of its habitat types and species whose conservation depends directly or indirectly on water regime. In addition, justified management measures related to the water balance of the lake have been elaborated and proposed to support the EWLR.

Freshwater habitats are important biodiversity features in eastern Mediterranean region. Greece hosts nine freshwater habitat types of Annex I to Habitats Directive (HD); four standing and five running waters. Almost all freshwater habitats are also found in inland surface water bodies designated by the Water Framework Directive (WFD).

A systematic approach to map and assess the “maintenance of nursery populations and habitats” ecosystem service (ES) (hereinafter called “habitat maintenance”) has not yet emerged. In this article, we present an ecosystem service framework implementation at landscape level, by proposing an approach for calculating and combining a series of indicators with spatial modelling techniques. Necessary conceptual elements for this approach are: a) ecosystem condition, b) supply and demand of the targeted ecosystem service and c) spatial relationships between the Service Providing Units (SPU) and the Service Connecting Units (SCU). Ecosystem condition is quantified and mapped based on two indicators, the Biodiversity State and the Anthropogenic Impact. Quantification and mapping of supply and demand are based on the hypothesis that high supply can be activated in strictly protected areas and that a demand is localised in the Natura 2000 sites (N2K), considering them as the Service Benefit Areas (SBA). Wetlands are assessed as SCU between the SBA and the landscape areas where the habitat maintenance ES is supplied. By assessing wetlands as SCU, we intent to highlight their role as biodiversity stepping stones and as green infrastructures. Overall, we conclude that the EU biodiversity policy demand for no net loss and for a coherent N2K network can be met by enhancing the delivery of the habitat maintenance ES. This approach can assist policy-makers in prioritisation of conservation and restoration targets, in line with the EU biodiversity strategy to 2020 and the preparation of the post-2020 Strategy.
