Pollen- and Weather-Based Machine Learning Models for Estimating Regional Olive...
Galveias, Ana \; Fraga, Helder; Costa, Ana Rodrigues; Antunes, Célia M.The olive tree is one of the most common type of cultivation in the Mediterranean area, having high economic and social importance. The Alentejo region, Portugal, is an area with a high presence of olive groves, which in 2022 accounted for 201,474 hectares. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between olive pollen, weather data, and olive tree production, between the years 2002 and 2022. Pollen ...

Comparative Evaluation of Remote Sensing Platforms for Almond Yield Prediction
Guimarães, Nathalie; Fraga, Helder; Sousa, Joaquim J.; Pádua, Luís; Bento, Albino; Couto, PedroAlmonds are becoming a central element in the gastronomic and food industry worldwide. Over the last few years, almond production has increased globally. Portugal has become the third most important producer in Europe, where this increasing trend is particularly evident. However, the susceptibility of almond trees to changing climatic conditions presents substantial risks, encompassing yield reduction and quali...
Tourism and climate in Lisbon. An assessment based on weather types
Machete, Raquel; Lopes, António; Gómez-Martín, Mª Belén; Fraga, HelderAlthough climate is perceived as an essential part of tourism, influencingtouristic regional and seasonal distribution patterns, ideal climate conditions for tourism areoften assumed, rather than demonstrated.
