Fernandes, Mariana P.; Matono, Paula; Almeida, Erika; Pinto-Cruz, Carla; Belo, Anabela D.F.Introduction: The increase of urban areas and their infrastructure network is homogenizing the landscape and threatening biodiversity and ecosystems functions and services. Wildflower meadows have a high biodiversity value and can prosper in degraded areas dominated by nitrophilous species, making them suitable to be used in peri-urban and urban areas to promote local flora, create habitat for pollinators and o...
Grazing as a conservation tool in Mediterranean temporary ponds
Pedroso, Nuno; Belo, Anabela; Almeida, Erika; Matono, Paula; Meireles, Catarina; Pinto-Cruz, CarlaMediterranean Temporary Ponds - 3170* (MTP) are seasonal freshwater habitats that are strongly dependent on rainfall and annually experience a flood/dissection cycle.
