Assessment of geomorphological diversity indices of Portugal mainland
Lopes, Catarina; Pereira, Paulo; Pereira, Diamantino; Gonçalves Teixeira, Zara FaniABSTRACT: The results from the assessment of diversity, evenness, and richness indices of geomorphology of mainland Portugal are presented, based on four hierarchical levels of geomorphological units. These indices were calculated on a hexagonal analytical grid, testing eight cell dimensions (1 km, 2 km, 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, 20 km, 25 km and 30 km). The 10 km dimension provided a clearer definition of regional g...
Arterial Injuries In Lower Extremity Trauma – Outcomes Of A Single Center Study
