Pedoclimatic and Landscape Conditions of Olive Groves in Portugal and Alentejo.
Muñoz-Rojas, Jose; Guiomar, Nuno; Pinto-Correia, Teresa; Prats, SérgioOlive groves in Alentejo have exponentially increased their extent over the past 30 years through irrigation and technological intensification, including also the use of exogenous breeds and cultivars. This has been facilitated by the implementation of the Alqueva irrigation network. This rapid process of change has permitted overcoming many of the bio-physical limitations of the regional soils and climate. Ult...
Landscape Approaches in the Mediterranean region – bridging landscape science a...
Muñoz-Rojas, Jose; Rivera, Maria; Barroso, J; Da Veiga, Franciscoandscape approaches (LAs) aim to foster sustainable land management that reconciles agriculture, nature conservation and competing land-use. Such approaches are useful to meet global and local sustainability goals. To achieve this, LAs have been implemented for landscape restoration, climate change adaptation and mitigation, and biodiversity conservation purposes. They have also been advocated as strategic tool...

Is forest related decision-making in European treeline areas socially innovativ...
Nijnik, Maria; Nijnik, Anatoliy; Sarkki, Simo; Muñoz-Rojas, Jose; Miller, David; Kopiy, SerhiyTreeline areas provide a range of ecosystem services, but there are diverging views as to how and for whose benefit, these ecosystem services are managed. Applying a Q-method, we explore experts' attitudes towards forest related decision-making and governance in treeline areas to reveal the attitudinal divergences that exist and analyse patterns of shared assumptions forming attitude-related communities. Experi...
