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...
Monitoring plant diversity to support agri-environmental schemes: evaluating st...
Monteiro, Antonio T.; Alves, Paulo; Carvalho-Santos, Claudia; Lucas, Richard; Cunha, Mario; Marques da Costa, Eduarda; Fava, FrancescoThe spatial monitoring of plant diversity in the endangered species-rich grasslands of European mountain pastoral systems is an important step for fairer and more efficient Agri-Environmental policy schemes supporting conservation. This study assessed the underlying support for a spatially explicit monitoring of plant species richness at parcel level (policy making scale) in Southern European mountain grassland...

Monteiro, Antonio T.; Carvalho-Santos, Claudia; Lucas, Richard; Rocha, Jorge; Costa, Nuno; Giamberini, Mariasilvia; Costa, Eduarda Marques daConservation and policy agendas, such as the European Biodiversity strategy, Aichi biodiversity (target 5) and Common Agriculture Policy (CAP), are overlooking the progress made in mountain grassland cover conservation by 2020, which has significant socio-ecological implications to Europe. However, because the existing data near 2020 is scarce, the shifting character of mountain grasslands remains poorly charac...
