Interactions between surrounding landscape biodiversity and intermittent rivers...
Kaletová, Tatiana; Raposo, Mauro; Pinto-Gomes, Carlos; Castanho, Rui Alexandre; Martin Gallardo, Jose; Loures, Luís; Castanho, HermenegildoLandscape is a dynamic mosaic of various structures interacting together. Neglecting or overusing one part of this mosaic may boost up or damage the development of others. For instance, overgrazing may increase soil erosion process which may clog a river/stream. In this regard land use changes, climate change and landscape management may lead to increase the intermittency of the surface watercourses, as well as...

Relevance of intermittent rivers and streams in agricultural landscape and thei...
Kaletová, Tatiana; Loures, Luis; Castanho, Rui Alexandre; Aydin, Elena; Gama, José Telo da; Loures, Ana; Truchy, AmélieEcosystem services (ES), as an interconnection of the landscape mosaic pieces, along with temporal rivers (IRES) are an object of research for environmental planners and ecological economists, among other specialists. This study presents (i) a review on the importance of IRES and the services they can provide to agricultural landscapes; (ii) a classification tool to assess the impact of IRES to provide ES by ag...
