Increased policy ambition is needed to avoid the effects of climate change and ...
Pedersen, Jiesper Strandsbjerg Tristan; Dias, Luís Filipe; Kok, Kasper; Vuuren, Detlef van; Soares, Pedro M.M.; Santos, Filipe Duarte; Azevedo, JoãoThe Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming hinges on forest carbon sequestration as a key in several national strategies. However, Portugal's rising forest fire occurrences threaten its ability to meet ambitious 2030 and 2050 carbon sequestration targets. Considering fire and forest trends, this study aims to quantify whether Portugal can reach its carbon sequestration ambitions as stated in its 2030...
Evaluating Nature-based Solutions as urban resilience and climate adaptation to...
Ferrario, Francesco; Mourato, João Morais; Rodrigues, Miguel Silva; Dias, Luís FilipeExtreme weather events driven by climate change threaten the resilience of urban structures and urban dwellers. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are an effective tool to reduce urban vulnerability to climate risks and, at the same time, develop more liveable urban areas. Despite the acknowledged positive impacts of individual observed NbS, numerous questions persist unanswered. While existing research supports NbS'...

Impact of nature-based solutions on sustainable development goals in Mediterran...
Rodrigues, Miguel; Dias, Luís Filipe; Nunes, João PedroMediterranean agroecosystems' vulnerability to hydroclimatic extremes threatens their resilience and sustainability. Nature-based Solutions present a sustainable strategy to address global challenges. This meta-analysis of 70 studies developed in Mediterranean climates identified solutions to improve soil health and water quality in agroecosystems by estimating their effects on soil organic matter, organic carb...

van der Laan, Esther; Nunes, João Pedro; Dias, Luís Filipe; Carvalho, S.C.P.; Mendonça dos Santos, FrancianeIn Mediterranean catchments, such as the Sorraia catchment in Portugal, it is expected that climate change will increase drought stress and the deterioration of water quality in reservoirs. Sustainable land management (SLM) practices are seen as an adaption measure for those problems, but the effectiveness on improving climate change impacted water availability and quality on catchment scale is still poorly und...

Modelling the role of ground-true riparian vegetation for providing regulating ...
Aparício, Bruno A.; Nunes, João Pedro; Bernard-Jannin, Léonard; Dias, Luís Filipe; Fonseca, André; Ferreira, TeresaIntensive agricultural and industrial activities are often considered major sources of water contamination. Currently, riparian vegetation (RV) is increasingly being promoted as a solution to balance the potentially adverse effects that agriculture may have on water quality. Nonetheless, existing RV is often overlook in recent modelling efforts, failing to capture the current amount of ecosystem services provid...
Integrating a hydrological model into regional water policies: co-creation of c...
Dias, Luís Filipe; Aparício, Bruno A.; Nunes, João Pedro; Morais, Inês; Fonseca, Ana Lúcia; Pastor, Amandine V; Santos, FilipeIrrigation is essential for a large part of Mediterranean agricultural systems, but scarce resources may cause conflicts between agricultural and domestic uses. These conflicts might be exacerbated by climate change, which could bring a drier climate and thus increase irrigation water demands while lowering supplies. These issues were addressed when designing a climate change adaptation plan for water resources...
