Soil Health: The Foundation for Ecosystems, Climate Regulation, and Food Security
Filipe, Susana; Sousa, J.P.; Guedes, P.; Branco, P.; Guerra, C.Soil forms the basis of essential ecosystem functions and plays a fundamental role for society, the environment and the economy. Soil health plays a vital role in the preservation and recovery of biodiversity and supports climate regulation by storing and sequestering carbon. Soil is also essential in retaining and purifying water and managing floods and droughts. The importance of soil health extends to mainta...
Mapping Science Communication in Higher Education in Portugal: A Systematic Evi...
Guerra, C.; Moreira, A.; Pombo, Pedro; Galvão, Cecília; Faria, Cláudia; Granado, António; Sanchez, Ana; Paiva, J. C.; Carvalho, PauloScience communication training plays a crucial role in enabling scientists to effectively connect with the public, emphasizing essential skills such as building trust in scientific and technological advancements. Despite significant progress, some studies show a notable deficiency in higher education (HE) institutional structures and mechanisms dedicated to science communication training, addressing a diverse a...
Potential distributions of invasive vertebrates in the Iberian Peninsula under ...
Baquero, R.A.; Barbosa, A.M.; Ayllón, D.; Guerra, C.; Sánchez, E.; Araújo, Miguel B.; Nicola, G.G.Aim Invasive alien species (IAS) can cause profound impacts on ecosystem function and diversity, human health, well-being and livelihoods. Climate change is an important driver of biological invasions, so it is critical to develop models and climate-driven scenarios of IAS range shifts to establish preventive measures. In this study, we analyse how projected changes in the frequency and magnitude of climate ext...

Effect of irradiance during acclimatization on content of proline and phytohorm...
Dias, M. C.; Pinto, G.; Guerra, C.; Jesus, C.; Amaral, J.; Santos, C.This study aimed to investigate the effects of irradiance on plant growth and content of proline and phytohormones during ex vitro acclimatization of micropropagated Ulmus minor plants. In vitro rooted plants were acclimatized to ex vitro conditions in a climate chamber with two irradiances, 200 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) (high irradiance, HI) and 100 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) (low irradiance, LI) for 40 d. Immediately after ...

Jiang, X.; Bowyer, K.; Morioka, Y.; Hiura, S.; Sato, K.; Inokuchi, S.; Bock, M.; Guerra, C.; Loke, R. E.; du Buf, J. M. H.A range image segmentation contest was organized in conjunction with ICPR'2000. The goal is to continue the effort of experimentally evaluating range image segmentation algorithms initiated in [3, 4]. This paper summarizes the results of the contest. © 2000 IEEE.
