Uncertainties in plant species niche modeling under climate change scenarios
Passos, Isabel; Figueiredo, Albano; Almeida, Alice; Ribeiro, M.M.A.Species distribution models (SDMs) have been used to forecast the impact of climate change on species’ potential distribution, with results that might support decisions for conservation and biodiversity management. Despite their vulnerability to parameterization and data quality input, SDM use has been increasing in the last decades. In fact, inappropriate inputs and the lack of awareness about the effects of m...
Uncertainties in Plant Species Niche Modeling under Climate Change Scenarios

Pyrenean oak forests under global change - integrating projected suitable areas...
Passos, Isabel; Almeida, Alice A.; Vila-Viçosa, Carlos; Ribeiro, Maria Margarida; Figueiredo, AlbanoForests provide broad ecosystem services (ES), and their contribution to regulation and maintenance services (e.g. carbon sequestration, soil formation, habitat protection, erosion control) explains why forest recovery/expansion is an effective nature-based solution for climate change mitigation. Thus, forest restoration measures must integrate results about expected changes in species distribution, as future c...
How people perceive the ecosystem services provided by Pyrenean oak forests
Paula, Anabela; Passos, IsabelThe Pyrenean oak (Quercus pyrenaica) is an autochthonous tree in Portugal, predominant in the supramediterranean north and center inland. Despite having an extensive potential area in Portugal, the species has a fragmented distribution due to the long-lasting impact of agriculture and afforestation. The ecological meaning and the vast range of ecosystem services (ES) provided by oak forests are recognized by th...
The management and preservation of communitarian interest habitats in the Natur...
Meireles, Catarina; Neiva, Rafael; Passos, Isabel; Vila-Viçosa, Carlos; Paiva-Ferreira, Rodrigo; Pinto-Gomes, CarlosIn this paper we present the management and preservation strategy of communitarian interest habitats which can be found in the Natural Park of Serra da Estrela (PNSE), Portugal. After presenting a general characterization of PNSE, where the main biophysical aspects of the territory are signalled, the description of the main work carried out in this Protected Area, in terms of characterization, improvement, diff...
