Remote sensing of vegetation and soil moisture content in Atlantic humid mounta...
Monteiro, Antonio; Arenas-Castro, Salvador; Punalekar, Suvarna M.; Cunha, Mário; Mendes, Inês; Giamberini, Mariasilvia; Marques da Costa, EduardaThe satellite monitoring of vegetation moisture content (VMC) and soil moisture content (SMC) in Southern European Atlantic mountains remains poorly understood but is a fundamental tool to better manage landscape moisture dynamics under climate change. In the Atlantic humid mountains of Portugal, we investigated an empirical model incorporating satellite (Sentinel-1 radar, S1; Sentinel-2 optical, S2) and ancill...
Spectral Library of Plant Species from Montesinho Natural Park in Portugal
Pôças, Isabel; Almeida, Cátia Rodrigues de; Arenas-Castro, Salvador; Campos, João C.; Garcia, Nuno; Alírio, João; Sillero, Neftalí; Teodoro, Ana C.In this work, we present and describe a spectral library (SL) with 15 vascular plant species from Montesinho Natural Park (MNP), a protected area in Northeast Portugal. We selected species from the vascular plants that are characteristic of the habitats in the MNP, based on their prevalence, and also included one invasive species: Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn, Castanea sativa Mill., Cistus ladanifer L., Crataegu...
Time-series analyses of land surface temperature changes with Google Earth Engi...
Almeida, Cátia Rodrigues de; Garcia, Nuno; Campos, João C.; Alirio, João; Arenas-Castro, Salvador; Gonçalves, Artur; Sillero, NeftaliStudying changes in temperature is fundamental for understanding its interactions with the environment and biodiversity. However, studies in mountainous areas are few, due to their complex formation and the difficulty of obtaining local data. We analysed changes in temperature over time in Montesinho Natural Park (MNP) (Braganca, Portugal), an important conservation area due to its high level of biodiversity. S...
