O Projeto ALOP teve início formal a 25 de Maio de 2016 e terminou a 31 de dezembro de 2019. Neste relatório final procuramos dar conta das atividades efetuadas e principalmente dos resultados obtidos. A tarefa está facilitada pois o projeto, em conjunto com as sinergias geradas com outros projetos e as colaborações nacionais e internacionais dos vários membros da equipa permitiram a publicação de um invejável n...
The primary purpose of this guide is to introduce teachers of non-computer science courses to the specifics of ATML. This handbook presents an approach slightly modified from the original ATML to make it more useful for teaching courses related to the bioeconomy, that is, courses that are interdisciplinary in nature. Interdisciplinary teaching poses a major challenge for the teacher in itself. An approach to di...
In the forthcoming years Portugal expects to be an increasingly hot and dry country dealing with the risk of water scarcity. According to the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere data, annual precipitation values have decreased 20 mm/decade. On the other hand, it is also verified that the periods of rain occur in a shorter interval, although more intensively. Water scarcity is one of the major challenges...
Context/Purpose: In the Southern of Alentejo region (Portugal), the surrounding area of Roxo stream features sections completely sterile, putting in question the productivity of agricultural activities there lo-cated. This may be due to the affluence of the Água Forte stream, which has Acid Mining Drainage (AMD) characteristics. In view of this situation, it is considered relevant to solve this problem, using e...

Os problemas ambientais estão intimamente ligados ao futuro. A narrativa da sustentabilidade que integra a componente do futuro no seu conceito, relaciona-se com as gerações vindouras e um horizonte de tempo onde impactes ambientais devido às ações humanas podem (ou irão) acontecer. Com base na perceção negativa da realidade explorada por Steven Pinker e na visão positiva de Rutger Bregman as autoras questionam...
Due to the negative effects of its main inflows, the water quality of Roxo stream, located in southern Portugal, an area characterized by Mediterranean climate, is degraded, causing consequences in irrigated agricultural activity. The eco technology of floating beds was used to improve the quality of this water. Three Vetiver zizinioides floating beds (3.3 m2/unit; density 40.5 plants/m2) were placed on the Rox...
The need to be more sustainable has become a challenge for some decades now. It seems we are reaching the moment when action cannot be postponed. Humanity, and young people, are keen to take action. Being pessimistic about tomorrow can only represent a waste of time that we, as humanity, cannot afford. This chapter reports a critical reflection of the new normal, through visions from different ages, aiming towa...

A ribeira do Roxo, localizada no sul de Portugal, devido às suas principais afluências apresenta qualidade da água degradada, provocando efeitos negativos na atividade agrícola de regadio, na qual se insere e se assume como bacia de drenagem. O objetivo deste trabalho foi testar a eco-tecnologia de Leitos Flutuantes (LF) para melhorar a qualidade desta água. Colocaram-se três Leitos Flutuantes de Vetiver Zizani...
