Advanced treatment in constructed wetlands: the role of photocatalytic modules ...

Background & Aim: Constructed wetlands (CWs) have emerged as a leading nature-based solution (NBS) for wastewater treatment, offering multiple benefits such as low maintenance costs, high pollutant removal efficiency, carbon sequestration, biodiversity enhancement, and aesthetic value (Justino et al., 2023; Kadlec, 2008). However, in tourism facilities, two major challenges affect wastewater management: seasona...

Soluções baseadas na natureza para a resiliência do território

Introdução: As Soluções Baseadas na Natureza (SbN) têm vindo a destacar-se como abordagens eficazes para responder aos desafios societais da atualidade, promovendo territórios mais sustentáveis, circulares e resilientes. Quando integradas em infraestruturas verdes, redes de áreas naturais e seminaturais, contribuem significativamente para a conservação da biodiversidade, o sequestro de carbono, a gestão sustent...

Infraestruturas verdes e prestação de serviços ecossistémicos

Enquadramento: As infraestruturas verdes correspondem a uma rede de áreas naturais e seminaturais que oferecem múltiplos benefícios, tais como a conservação da natureza, o sequestro de carbono, a gestão sustentável da água e a melhoria da qualidade de vida, entre outros serviços ecossistémicos. Estas infraestruturas verdes podem integrar soluções baseadas na natureza (SbN), contribuindo para a sustentabilidade ...

Local scale integrated approaches for enhancing water reuse: constructed wetlan...

Constructed wetlands (CWs) are engineered systems, considered a nature-based solution (NBS), that are inspired and mimic many processes (physical, biological, and chemical) and functions that occur in natural wetlands. CIRQUA-Integrated Approaches at Local Scale for Enhancing Water Reuse Efficiency and Sustainable Soil Fertilization from Wastewater’s Recovered Nutrients is a project that aims to improve NBS, fo...

Rapid tropicalization evidence of subtidal seaweed assemblages along a coastal ...

Anthropogenic climate change, particularly seawater warming, is expected to drive quick shifts in marine species distribution transforming coastal communities. These shifts in distribution will be particularly noticeable in biogeographical transition zones. The continental Portuguese coast stretches from north to south along 900 km. Despite this short spatial scale, the strong physical gradient intensified by t...

Range-edge populations of seaweeds show niche unfilling and poor adaptation to ...

Aim: Global warming is affecting the distribution of species worldwide, but the level of adaptation of edge populations to warmer temperatures remains an open question. Here, we assess the thermal tolerance of populations of two habitat-forming seaweeds along their latitudinal range, using thermal niche unfilling to assess their resilience to global warming. Location: European Atlantic coastline. Taxon: Ascophy...

Setting performance indicators for coastal marine protected areas: an expert-ba...

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) require effective indicators to assess their performance, in compliance with the goals of relevant national and international commitments. Achieving and prioritizing shortlists of multidisciplinary indicators demands a significant effort from specialists to depict the multiple conservation and socioeconomic interests, and the large complexity of natural systems. The present paper d...

Snapshot of macroalgae and fish assemblages in temperate reefs in the Southern ...

Most of the biodiversity studies in the South European Atlantic Shelf ecoregion are limited to shallow subtidal or intertidal habitats, while deeper reef habitats, also of relevant ecological importance, are particularly understudied. Macroalgal communities, associated fauna, and sea surface temperature were studied in deep reefs (25–30 m) at two locations in this ecoregion: Parcel, North of Portugal (41º N), a...
