Compositional signature of trace elements in stream sediments along the Babahoy...
Cabrera, Marlon; Pazo, Maria; Gerassis Davite, Saki; Albuquerque, Maria Teresa; Sierra, C.; Boente, CarlosThe high concentration of potencially toxic elements (PTEs) in stream sediments may pose a significant threat since the pollutants may travel long distances to the sea, affecting aquatic environments and public health. When rivers cross large cities, minning, or cultivated areas, it is usually observing an increasing concentration of PTEs downstream, reachiong hazardeous levels due to the ability and persistenc...
Species ecological envelopes under climate change scenarios: a case study for t...
Alegria, C.M.M.; Roque, Natália; Albuquerque, M.T.D.; Gerassis Davite, Saki; Fernandez, Paulo; Ribeiro, M.M.A.Species ecological envelope maps were obtained for the two main Portuguese wood-production species (Eucalyptus globulus Labill. and Pinus pinaster Aiton) and projected future climate change scenarios. A machine learning approach was used to understand the most influential environmental variables that may explain current species distribution and productivity. Background and Objectives: The aims of the study were...
Bioclimatic modelling in the holocene and in future warming scenarios in Arbutu...
Ribeiro, M.M.A.; Roque, Natália; Ribeiro, Sílvia; Gavinhos, Catarina; Silva, Isabel Castanheira; Quinta-Nova, L.C.; Albuquerque, M.T.D.Growing forests wildfires in Portugal are an increasing concern since forests in the Mediterranean region are vulnerable to recent global warming. Long-term negative effects are expected on the vegetation with the coming increasing drought. The strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.) displays potential to be a successfully business-like cultured in several regions of Portugal and southern Europe, as it is well adapt...
