Evaluation of asian hornet (Vespa velutina) trappability in Alto-Minho, Portuga...
Mata, Fernando; Alonso, Joaquim Mamede; Cano-Díaz, ConchaTrapping the Asian hornet remains a viable alternative to monitor its presence, dispersion, and ecological niche. With the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of baits and traps, an Asian hornet (Vespa velutina) capture trial was conducted using combinations of artisanal and commercial baits and traps. The second objective was to explore the relationship between the species’ dispersal patterns and the inf...
SICAP - Sistema de informação cadastral e administração de propriedades
Rodrigues, Filipe Dias; Alonso, Joaquim Mamede; Castro, PedroO cadastro predial é uma fonte fundamental de informação para o planeamento, gestão e inovação territorial. Portugal não possui um cadastro predial atualizado o que se traduz no desconhecimento da propriedade em 20% do território português. Neste contexto, pretende-se com o desenvolvimento da plataforma SICAP (Sistema de Informação Cadastral e Administração de Propriedades), contribuir para a disponibilização d...
Training systems evaluation of vitis vinifera L. Alvarinho (vinhos verdes PDO r...
Valín, Maria Isabel; Araújo-Paredes, Cláudio; Mendes, Susana; Dafonte, J.; Alonso, Joaquim Mamede; Rodrigues, Ana Sofia; Cancela, J. J.In the Vinhos Verdes wine region, the largest Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) region in Portugal, the most common ‘Alvarinho’ training system is single downward shoot positioning (DSP), which is currently being replaced by vertical shoot positioning (VSP). This work aimed to evaluate physiological and productive parameters of ‘Alvarinho’ grapevines in both training systems. This study was carried out in 2...
Combined pretreatment by ultrasound and struvite precipitation of raw substrate...
Coura, Renata D'arc; Rodrigues, Ana Cristina; Alonso, Joaquim Mamede; Ferraz, Ana Isabel; Brito, Luis Miguel; Abrantes, João Carlos CastroThe present study aimed to optimize the struvite chemical precipitation process in nitrogenrich anaerobic co-digestion systems. Struvite precipitation experiments were carried out using a mixture of cattle slurry liquid fraction and sewage sludge, with and without ultrasound pretreatment. Marine salt or MgCl2 were used as magnesium source in NH4 + :Mg2+ stoichiometric proportions of 1:1.5 and 1:3. Under the tes...
Spatially explicit model for anaerobic co‐digestion facilities location and pre...
Coura, Renata D'arc; Alonso, Joaquim Mamede; Rodrigues, Ana Cristina Costa; Ferraz, Ana Isabel; Mouta, Nuno; Silva, Renato; Brito, António Guerreiro deThe high volumes of animal manure and sewage sludge, as a consequence of the development of intensive and specialized cattle dairy farms in peri-urban areas, pose challenges to local environmental quality and demands for systems innovation. Besides these negative impacts, energy recovery from biogas produced in anaerobic co-digestion processes should contribute to local sustainable development. This research co...

Agro-ecological terroir units in the North West Iberian Peninsula wine regions
Cardoso, Andreia Saavedra; Alonso, Joaquim Mamede; Rodrigues, Ana Sofia; Araújo-Paredes, Cláudio; Mendes, Susana Miguel; Valín, Maria IsabelViticultural zoning studies that support the definition of terroir units general follow two main approaches of geographic differentiation related either to: a) land capability or vineyard suitability, or b) grape, grapevine or wine characteristics. Both approaches are commonly considered in the definition of terroir at regional and local approaches. The purpose of this preliminary study was to develop and apply...
Spatial multicriteria GIS-based analysis to anaerobic biogas plant location for...
Rodrigues, C.; Rodrigues, A. C.; Vilarinho, Cândida; Alves, M. M.; Alonso, Joaquim MamedeIntensification, concentration and specialization of dairy cow farms originate many activity by-products, such as wastewater and slurry which implies treatment costs, reduce environmental quality and promote social conflicts between the urban and rural population. These (by)products present a high potential for energy recovery from biogas produced in anaerobic digestion processes, thus contributing to sustainab...
