Description

Mestrado em Gestão e Conservação dos Recursos Naturais - Instituto Superior de Agronomia / Universidade de Évora

The modelling of potential occurrence has been widely used for species of interest to conservation. Knowing the environmental preferences of each species, can be selected locations that have favorable conditions for the reintroduction of species for several reasons, not colonized those sites and improve conservation actions in relation to actual settlements. The aim of this work was based on the definition of environmental conditions more favorable for the species of interest for conservation listed in the annexes of the Habitats Directive Armeria pseudarmeria, Dianthus cintranus subsp. cintranus, Verbascum litigiosum, Thymus villosus subsp. villosus, Ulex densus, Ruscus aculeatus, Omphalodes kuzinskyanae and Limonium multiflorum for future reintroduction of those species in places where there are not present, but these are favorable conditions for colonizing. And the definition of environmental conditions more favorable for the species, which although not listed in the annexes of the Habitats Directive, are associated with species that have conservation interest, including Armeria is welwitschii, Ulex jussiaei subsp. congestus, Daucus halophilus, Limonium virgatum and Ilex aquifolium. Yielding as final result the ecological profile of each species, thereby improving the knowledge concerning the target species for a better conservation strategy and a theoretical foundation that will serve as a tool for future reintroduction of these species in the classified sites Peniche/Santa Cruz and Sintra/Cascais in Natura 2000 network
