Assessing forestry needs and challenges in Portugal: insights from the sector i...
Corticeiro, Sofia; Vieira, Helena; Almeida, Mariana; Laranjeiro, Dionísia; Lillebo, Ana; Oliveira, Bruna R. F.Forests are one of the most predominant types of land usage in Portugal and are highly relevant in terms of environmental, economic, social, and political factors. Increasing the value and the resilience of the Portuguese forest, defining adequate policies, and aligning forest research with society needs requires a truthful comprehension of the most relevant challenges in this sector. This study identifies and ...
The needs and challenges of the Blue Economy sector in Portugal: bridging natio...
Almeida, Mariana; Corticeiro, Sofia; Oliveira, Bruna R. F.; Laranjeiro, Dionísia; Lillebø, Ana; Vieira, HelenaWith a coastline of approximately 2500 km2, Portugal has one of the largest European Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), with its delimitation beyond 200 nautical miles under review. The sea, including the sustainable exploitation of natural resources and maritime activities, is cross-cutting the National 2030 Strategy for Smart Specialization (NSSS2030), and is the foundation of the National Ocean Strategy 2021-203...
Water repellency reduces soil CO2 efflux upon rewetting
Sánchez-García, Carmen; Oliveira, Bruna R. F.; Keizer, Jan Jacob; Doerr, Stefan H.; Urbanek, EmiliaCarbon dioxide (CO2) efflux from soil represents one of the biggest ecosystem carbon (C) fluxes and high-magnitude pulses caused by rainfall make a substantial contribution to the overall C emissions. It is widely accepted that the drier the soil, the larger the CO2 pulses will be, but this notion has never been tested for water-repellent soils. Soil water repellency (SWR) is a common feature of many soils and ...
