“…The physicochemical properties of the present four-year study have ordinary values in comparison with other studies in Greece [18,35,[44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. However, according to Golia et al (2021) some soil samples in the vicinity of the harbor and the promenade demonstrate higher standards of EC because of the existence of salts [18].…”

“…Soil samples are, therefore, mainly sandy and barren, as their organic matter content is low. The physicochemical properties of soil samples have the typical characteristic values of most urban soils [18,35,[44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. Soil samples located near the sea, i.e., in the southern part of the city, have higher values of electrical conductivity, due to the possible presence of salts [18]…”

“…The disruption of urban soils by anthropogenic activity is apparent in urban agglomerations and their outgrowths [16]. The sealing of urban soils can be found in former commercial or industrial sites, also known as brownfields [31][32][33][34][35]. Lately, the intensity of human commercial activities aggravated urban soil conditions via-organic or inorganic-pollutants [36].…”

“…Urban soil or even air pollution by HMs has been a significant focus in different areas in Greece, for instance in former mines, near carriage roads, and old factories [39][40][41][42][43]. Furthermore, the most populous coastal cities in Greece (Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, and Volos) share common local characteristics, such as the presence of maritime ports, which contribute to urban pollution by HMs [18,35,[44][45][46][47][48][49][50].…”

The focus of this case study is the meticulous observation of urban soil pollution by heavy metals (HMs), or, alternatively, potentially toxic elements (PTEs). The study took place in the urban center of Volos, Greece. Moreover, 248 soil samples were collected during 2018–2021 (62 samples annually), while 3.65 km2 was, approximately, the study area. The breakdown of total concentrations took place for the interpretation of different soil parameters, also according to mean values and medians of the total concentrations of HMs, the following decreasing order was monitored: Mn > Zn > Cr > Ni > Cu > Pb > Co > Cd. During the 4-year study, an increasing trend of metal concentration was observed (for each year compared to the previous one). Furthermore, the imaginary triangle, which was observed, is bordered by the historic train station, the two city bus and intercity coach stations and the commercial harbor. Statistical analysis was implemented in order to interpret the exceedances of HMs concerning the Directive 86/278/EEC. Principal component analysis (PCA) is an additional technique that was conducted because of the correlations and interdependences between the HMs. A strong correlation was observed between the HMs, but mainly between Cd and Zn, which is probably due to their common origin. During the COVID-19 pandemic, significant changes in metal concentrations were observed in different parts of the city, due to the limited movement of motorized wheeled vehicles, but also due to the long operating hours of the heating systems in the residential area. Further research is needed in the future in order to identify the sources of pollution and to find possible ways to reduce it. All in all, urban soil pollution by HMs is a great conundrum of the environmental aspect of sustainability.

“…Enhanced absorption of Zn and Cu was also noticed in industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa subsp. Sativa) with higher irrigation level, with Zn showing higher mobility to aerial tissues [48]. The results of correlation analysis also showed significant and positive correlation between cone Cu and Fe, and cone Zn and Cu.…”

The Phenolic Composition of Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) Was Highly Influenced by Cultivar and Year and Little by Soil Liming or Foliar Spray Rich in Nutrients or Algae

The interest in expanding the production of hops outside the traditional cultivation regions, mainly motivated by the growth of the craft brewery business, justifies the intensification of studies into its adaptation to local growing conditions. In this study, four field trials were undertaken on a twenty-year-old hop garden, over periods of up to three years to assess the effect of important agro-environmental variation factors on hop phenol and phenolic composition and to establish its relationship with the elemental composition of hop cones. All the field trials were arranged as factorial designs exploring the combined effect of: (1) plots of different vigour plants × year; (2) plots of different plant vigor × algae- and nutrient-rich foliar sprays × year; (3) plot × liming × year; and (4) cultivars (Nugget, Cascade, Columbus) × year. Total phenols in hops, were significantly influenced by most of the experimental factors. Foliar spraying and liming were the factors that least influenced the measured variables. The year had the greatest effect on the accumulation of total phenols in hop cones in the different trials and may have contributed to interactions that often occurred between the factors under study. The year average for total phenol concentrations in hop cones ranged from 11.9 mg g−1 to 21.2 mg g−1. Significant differences in quantity and composition of phenolic compounds in hop cones were also found between cultivars. The phenolic compounds identified were mainly flavonols (quercetin and kaempferol glycosides) and phenolic carboxylic acids (p-coumaric and caffeic acids).
