Pirintsos Stergios

Pirintsos Stergios is a Professor at the Department of Biology, University of Crete. His research focuses on Ecology and Management of Terrestrial Ecosystems, Applied Ecology, and Biomonitoring of Environmental Changes. He teaches courses like Biodiversity and Plant Evolutionary Ecology (BIOL-257) and Environmental Risk Assessment.

Research Interests: His work explores lichen responses to pollution, plant biodiversity, and environmental risk assessment. Publications analyze uranium contamination, ammonia emissions, and metal stress in ecosystems. Key keywords include Biomonitoring, Ecotoxicology, and Plant Evolutionary Ecology.

Selected Publications (2003-2005): Studies on lichen bioindicators for road traffic pollution, livestock ammonia emissions, depleted uranium in conflict zones, and metal stress biochemical pathways. These reflect interdisciplinary work bridging Environmental Science, Ecology, and Geochemistry.
