The effect of broadleaf forests in wildfire mitigation in the WUI – A simulatio...
Oliveira, A.S.; Silva, J.S.; Guiomar, N.; Fernandes, P.; Nereu, M.; Gaspar, J.; Lopes, R.F.R.; Rodrigues, J.P.C.The increasing occurrence of large wildfires in Southern European countries calls for the adoption of more effective measures of fire prevention, to protect people and infrastructures, namely in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI). Previous research suggests that broadleaf forests could mitigate the effects of these wildfires due to their lower flammability. However, few attempts have been made to investigate th...

Teores proteicos em dietas para vacas Holandesas leiteiras em confinamento
Paiva, V.R.; Lana, R.P.; Oliveira, A.S.; Leão, M.I.; Teixeira, R.M.A.Avaliou-se o efeito de dietas com níveis de proteína bruta ‒ PB (10, 12, 14 e 16% na matéria seca ‒ MS) em vacas Holandesas mestiças com produção de leite médio (PL) de 13kg/dia. Utilizou-se silagem de milho como volumoso, e a relação volumoso:concentrado foi de 75:25. Houve aumento linear para o consumo de todos os componentes da dieta, exceto para o consumo de carboidratos totais e carboidratos não fibrosos (...
Restoration over time and sustainability of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi
Gois, I.B.; Álvares-Carvalho, S.V.; Silva-Mann, R.; Melo, M.F.V.; Oliveira, A.S.; Ferreira, R.A.; Gomes, L.J.The success of recovery programs on degraded areas is dependent on the genetic material to be used, which should present heterozygosity and genetic diversity in native and recovered populations. This study was carried out to evaluate the model efficiency to enable the recovery of a degraded area of the Lower São Francisco, Sergipe, Brazil. The target species for this study was Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi. Th...
Aromatic plants: a source of phenolic compounds?
Oliveira, A.S.; Castilho, M.C.; Ribeiro-Santos, R.; Ramos, F.; Sanches-Silva, A.Nowadays there is a renaissance of the interest in aromatic plants due to their properties, specially their antioxidant properties. The antioxidant activity of the aromatic plants is mainly due to the high content of phenolic acids (gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid), flavonoids (quercetin), phenolic diterpenes (carnosol and carnosic acid) and volatile oils (eugenol, carvacrol a...
