Adapting the agro-forestry landscapes of the Alentejo region to climate change
Vizinho, AndréThe main motivation of this thesis is to contribute to the adaptation of Montado agro-silvopastoral landscapes of Portugal, located mostly in the Alentejo and Algarve regions. These landscapes and agro-forestry ecosystems are in increased danger, as climate change pressure increases. The complexity of climate adaptation planning and action, in this sector, is very large and this thesis aims to answer the questi...

How can energy become a community endeavor in Europe? Consortium benchmarking s...
Gregg, Jay Sterling; Bolwig, Simon; Sciullo, Alessandro; Arrobbio, Osman; Hubert, Wit; Ivask, Nele; Iturriza, Izaskun Jimenez; Meynaerts, ErikaA consortium benchmarking (CB) approach was used to conduct a study on development mechanisms and best practices for Collective Action Initiatives (CAIs) in the energy sector. National research teams (NRTs) were created in six European countries (Belgium, Estonia, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain) each of which consisted of approximately five CAIs, as well as other stakeholders, governing bodies, and a...
Using and Creating Microclimates for Cork Oak Adaptation to Climate Change
Vizinho, André; Príncipe, Adriana; Vasconcelos, Ana Cátia; Rebelo, Rui; Branquinho, Cristina; Penha-Lopes, GilIn Mediterranean climate regions, climate change is increasing aridity and contributing to the mortality rate of Quercus suber, reducing the success of reforestation efforts. Using and creating microclimates is a recommended climate adaptation strategy that needs research. Our hypothesis is that planting Q. suber in north-facing slopes and water lines results in a higher survival rate than those that are plante...

Participatory Action Research Challenges Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Review...
Matos, Fábio André; Alves, Filipe Moreira; Roebeling, Peter; Mendonça, Rita; Mendes, Rúben; López-Maciel, Max; Vizinho, AndréThe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that spread through the world in 2020 had a major effect on academia. Research projects relying on participatory methods and action research approaches were especially harmed by the restrictions and changes the situation imposed. This study performs a rapid literature review to identify common themes in the narratives of published studies concerning the difficult...
Participatory Approach to Build Up a Municipal Strategy for Coastal Erosion Mit...
Matos, Fábio André; Alves, Filipe; Coelho, Carlos; Lima, Márcia; Vizinho, AndréThe Ovar coastline is characterized as one of the coastal areas with the highest vulnerability and risk of erosion in the Portuguese coast. The high-energy coast is further threatened by a permanent sediment deficit of anthropic origin, as well as sea level rise due to climate change. It is essential to define modern coastal adaptation strategies to minimize the impacts of these issues on the local communities,...

Vizinho, André; Avelar, David; Fonseca, Ana Lúcia; Carvalho, S.C.P.; Sucena-Paiva, Leonor; Pinho, Pedro; Nunes, Alice; Branquinho, CristinaAdaptation Pathways is a decision support tool designed to create adaptation policies under different climate change scenarios. This tool has been used successfully in several sectors and contexts such as coastal and river adaptation, urban heat waves, floods and rural livelihoods but its use in natural resource management, has faced several challenges and limitations. In the sector of agroforestry its use has ...
Framework for Climate Change Adaptation of Agriculture and Forestry in Mediterr...
Vizinho, André; Avelar, David; Branquinho, Cristina; Lourenço, Tiago Capela; Carvalho, S.C.P.; Nunes, Alice; Sucena-Paiva, Leonor; Oliveira, HugoPlanning the adaptation of agriculture and forestry landscapes to climate change remains challenging due to the need for integrating substantial amounts of information. This information ranges from climate scenarios, geographical site information, socio-economic data and several possible adaptation measures. Thus, there is an urgent need to have a framework that is capable of organizing adaptation strategies an...
