Ordenamento e planeamento florestal
Azevedo, João; Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Silva, Gilberto M.; Lana, J.Este capítulo descreve aplicações de princípios, métodos, técnicas e programas informáticos inspirados na ecologia da paisagem no ordenamento e planeamento florestal em Portugal e no Brasil. Primeiramente, em cada país, definem-se os conceitos de ordenamento e planeamento/planejamento florestal e discute-se a aplicabilidade da ecologia da paisagem numa atividade que se encontra vocacionada para a gestão da hete...
Evaluation of forest industry scenarios to increase sustainable forest mobiliza...
Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Azevedo, JoãoThere is an increasing interest in forest biomass for energy throughout Europe, which is seen as a way of promoting forest mobilization and economic development locally, in particular in regions where forest biomass is available but its use is limited by lack of demand. This study was conducted to define, evaluate and select viable forest industry scenarios to increasing forest mobilisation in the North of Port...
Looking for consensual protection categories to reduce conservation conflicts i...
Castro-Pardo, Mónica de; Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Azevedo, João; Urios, VicenteDecision-making in protected areas is often difficult due to an unclear definition of management objectives and indicators for their monitoring. This is frequently related to the coexistence of systems of protected areas at national and regional levels for which management objectives are ambiguous or that are not directly related to protected areas classification standards. In this study, we proposed a particip...
Planning for democracy in protected rural areas: Application of a voting method...
Castro-Pardo, Mónica de; Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Martín-Martín, José María; Azevedo, JoãoThe planning of protected rural areas is usually defined by institutional decision-makers without considering the preferences of the local communities that live on the land, which frequently leads to conflicts in landmanagement. This paper proposes a votingmethod based on the Borda count to rank themanagement goals of a protected rural area. Themethodwas applied in a Spanish-Portuguese reserve called Iberian Pl...
A note to transfer a generic database pseudocode for storing chronological data...
Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Neves, Cátia J.; Henriques, Dora; Pinto, M. AliceIn honey bee research conducted in apiaries, a large amount of information is usually generated requiring a flexible database for storing and retrieving data. Here, we developed a generic database pseudocode, based on the abstraction of the apiary system, for data collected from the colonies through time.
Modelling stakeholders’ preferences to pinpoint conflicts in the planning of tr...
Castro-Pardo, Mónica de; Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Martín-Martín, José María; Azevedo, JoãoIn this paper, we propose a sequentially participative model for planning in transboundary protected areas based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process, Goal Programming and Monte Carlo simulation. The model was developed with two scenarios: one determinist and another with simulations that provide a multi-level ranking of the most relevant goals according stakeholders’ preferences to establish priorities in the p...
A compiled project and open-source code to generate web-based forest modelling ...
Gómez-García, Esteban; Azevedo, João; Pérez-Rodríguez, FernandoSustainable forest management requires decision support systems to evaluate possible scenarios and anticipate the consequences of decisions. Forest modellers typically develop complex systems of equations to predict the behaviour of forests which makes the use of forest models difficult for end-users in general, affecting transfer of knowledge and technology. To overcome these difficulties and facilitate their ...
Interação genótipo - ambiente entre duas origens e localizações na abelha ibéri...
Neves, Cátia J.; Lopes, Ana; Rodrigues, Pedro João; Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Vilas-Boas, Miguel; Ventura, Paulo J.C.; Henriques, DoraNa europa, vários estudos revelaram que as populações nativas de Apis mellifera estão adaptadas ao clima e flora locais. Contudo, até agora, não existe informação para a abelha ibérica, Apis mellifera iberiensis. Neste contexto, o principal objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a existência de adaptação local na abelha ibérica. Este estudo foi dividido em três partes: (1) instalação de dois apiários nos dois extrem...
Solving multi-objective problems for multifunctional and sustainable management...
Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Nunes, Luís; Azevedo, JoãoForest management based on sustainability and multifunctionality requires reliable and user-friendly tools to address several objectives simultaneously. In this work we present FlorNExT Pro®, a multiple-criteria landscape-scale forest planning and management computer tool, and apply it in a region in the north of Portugal to find optimized management solutions according to objectives such as maximization of net...
Selection of social and environmental criteria for the delimitation of rural se...
Barbosa-Brandão, Vasco; Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Rojo-Alboreca, Alberto; Ferreira-Neto, José AmbrósioLos núcleos rurales (NR) son una referencia de la realidad territorial del asentamiento de un pueblo y constituyen un conjunto de construcciones sociales y culturales. Su delimitación es una de las tareas más importantes y complicadas dentro de la planificación territorial. Este trabajo presenta una comparación de metodologías para seleccionar los criterios más importantes para la delimitación de los núcleos ru...
