The scrubland of limestone-derived decarbonated soils of the western Iberian Pe...
Costa, J. C.; Pinto-Gomes, C.; Lopes, M. C.; Neto, Carlos; Monteiro-Henriques, T.; Arsénio, P; Silva, V.; Capelo, J.; Lousã, M.; Rivas-Martínez, S.In the present article, the proposal of a new suballiance, Lavandulo luisieri-Cistenion albidi, is presented, constituted by chamaephytic and nanophanerophytic communities in eroded decarbonated soils derived from limestones (leptosols, chromic luvisols and cambisols) in the dry to lower hyperhumid, thermo-mesomediterranean bioclimatic levels. It is distributed throughout the western Iberian Peninsula in the Co...

Vascular plant communities in Portugal (Continental, the Azores and Madeira)
Costa, José Carlos; Neto, C.; Aguiar, C.; Capelo, J.; Espírito-Santo, Maria Dalila; Honrado, J.; Pinto-Gomes, C.; Monteiro-Henriques, T.; Sequeira, M.In this paper we propose a syntaxonomic scheme, according to the Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature for the vegetation of Portugal: continental and the Azores and Madeira archipelagos. The scheme encompasses 827 associations ( 4 communities), 245 alliances, 116 orders, and 64 vegetation classes. The 58 suballiances, 2 suborders and 4 classes, are also mentioned, as auxilliary ranks. For the higher syntaxa d...
A global view on the riparian forests with Salix neotricha and Populus alba in ...
Costa, J. C.; Neto, Carlos; Capelo, J.; Lousã, M.; Rivas-Martínez, S.Forests dominated by Salix neotricha, and Populus alba found along the mesoeutrophic rivers in the Iberian Peninsula, were studied. We discuss the floristic circumscription, chorology, and community segregation based on the available releve´s of all Iberian riparian communities included in Populenion albae. Eleven formerly described communities were analyzed and due to original floristic combination, habitat fe...
Annual dune plant communities in the southwest coast of Europe
Costa, J. C.; Neto, Carlos; Martins, M.; Lousã, M.This study presents an updated sintaxonomic review of the annual communities from coastal dunes in the Southwest coast of Europe, specifically in the Iberian Peninsula, including both types: directly influenced by the sea salt spray and not affected by this influence. The floristic segregation of the different plant associations was obtained by statistical agglomerative processes (UPGMA, Unweighted Pair Group M...
Effects of harrowing and fertilisation on understory vegetation and timber prod...
Carneiro, M.; Fabião, António; Martins, M.C.; Fabião, André; Silva, M. Abrantes; Hilário, Luís; Lousã, M.; Madeira, ManuelHarrowing and fertilisation are common practices at middle rotation in Eucalyptus globulus Labill. plantations in Central Portugal. In order to clarify the effects of such practices on understory vegetation and timber production, a field trial was installed in a 5-year-old first rotation eucalyptus plantation, in a region with mixed oceanic and Mediterranean climatic influences. Four treatments that involved ha...

A methodological approach to potential vegetation modeling using GIS techniques...
Capelo, J.; Mesquita, S.; Costa, José Carlos; Arsénio, Pedro; Neto, C.; Monteiro-Henriques, T.; Aguiar, C.; Honrado, J.; Espírito-Santo, Maria DalilaAn attempt to obtain a consistent spatial model of natural potential vegetation (NPV) for the mainland Portuguese territory is reported. Spatial modeling procedures performed in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment, aimed to operationalize phytosociological expert-knowledge about the putative distribution of potential zona1 forest communities dominam in the Portuguese continental territories. The p...
Species richness and biomass of understory vegetation in a Eucalyptus globulus ...
Fabião, António; Carneiro, M.; Martins, M.C.; Cerveira, C.; Santos, C.; Nogueira, C.; Lousã, M.; Hilário, Luís; Madeira, ManuelThe aim of this study was to assess the effect of different slash management practices on understory biodiversity and biomass in Eucalyptus globulus coppices in Central Portugal. The experiment consisted of four treatments: (a) removal of slash (R), (b) broadcast over the soil (S), (c) as in S but concentrating woody residues between tree rows (W) and (d) incorporation of slash into soil by harrowing (I). Under...
Sintra vegetation and landscape
Mesquita, S.; Arsénio, Pedro; Lousã, M.; Monteiro-Henriques, T.; Costa, José CarlosThe field trip to Sintra region, as part of the 48th IAVS Symposium, aims to illustrate well-preserved and representative plant communities of Sintra municipality. It consists of two short field stops and a 3 km walk
