BIOMONTADO – Montado ecosystem and vineyards
Pinto-Cruz, Carla; Belo, Anabela; Almeida, Erika; Janeiro, Carla; Brito, Isabel; Alexandre, Ana; Prats, Sérgio; Pelayos, Oscar; Pedroso, NunoThe montado is considered a high nature value (HNV) agro-silvopastoral system that provides important ecosystem services, in addition to tradable products, namely biodiversity conservation, soil conservation, carbon sequestration, organic matter storage and water cycle regulation. In the Alentejo region, its matrix is often interrupted by patches of agricultural systems, such as vineyards. The BIOMONTADO projec...

Artificial permanent ponds are valuable for bats: a comparison with temporary p...
Ribeiro-Silva, Joana; Pinto-Cruz, Carla; Mira, António; Marques, J. TiagoPonds are crucial habitats for bats in Mediterranean regions, providing significant sources of food and drinking water. However, the intensification of land use and the increase in arid landscapes are threatening these ecosystems, leading to a significant decline in water availability. Our aim is to assess the influence of biotic and abiotic pond features on bat communities, with a focus on the hydrological reg...
How can Mediterranean temporary ponds benefit from disturbance? Challenges and ...
Pinto-Cruz, Carla; Matono, Paula; Almeida, Erika; Meireles, Catarina; Fernandes, Mariana; Portugal-Ferreira, Luis; Belo, AnabelaMediterranean temporary ponds (MTPs) are seasonal wetland habitats usually flooded during the rainy season but drying out during the warmer months. Due to their biodiversity, uniqueness, and numerous threats, they are listed as a priority for conservation under the Habitats Directive. Despite all the efforts made so far, they are still in poor conservation status in the Mediterranean biogeographic region, makin...
A new species from the temporary ponds of southwest Portugal: Helosciadium milf...
Cires, Eduardo; Pinto-Cruz, Carla; Nava, Hermino; Fernández Prieto, José AntónioThe genus Helosciadium has six species of which three have been identified in Portugal: H. nodiflorum, frequent and abundant in much of the territory, and H. inundatum and H. repens, with a scattered distribution in Portugal. In the present study, a new species, Helosciadium milfontinum, a seriously threatened plant endemic, rare and scarce that grows in the temporary ponds of the Vicentinan Coastal District is...

Sowing wildflower meadows in Mediterranean peri-urban green areas to promote gr...
Fernandes, Mariana P.; Matono, Paula; Almeida, Erika; Pinto-Cruz, Carla; Belo, Anabela D.F.Introduction: The increase of urban areas and their infrastructure network is homogenizing the landscape and threatening biodiversity and ecosystems functions and services. Wildflower meadows have a high biodiversity value and can prosper in degraded areas dominated by nitrophilous species, making them suitable to be used in peri-urban and urban areas to promote local flora, create habitat for pollinators and o...
Farming for nature in the Montado: the application of ecosystem services in a r...
Guimarães, Maria; Pinto-Correia, Teresa; Freitas, Maria; Ferraz-de-Oliveira, Maria; Batista, Elvira; Veiga, José; Marques, Tiago; Pinto-Cruz, CarlaThe Montado is a silvopastoral system with a tree cover of predominantly Quercus suber but also Quercus rotundifolia, where cattle or sheep graze the understory. It occupies more than one million hectares in southern Portugal, and a similar landscape, the Dehesa, covers ca. three million hectares in Spain. These silvopastoral systems can simultaneously benefit the environment and socio-economic activities by pr...
