Atlas Socioambiental de Cunha - SP
Bargos, Danúbia; Souza, Irving; Soares, Paulo; Silva, Luiz Tadeu; Rodriguez, Daniel; Teixeira, Débora; Sampaio, Elsa; Ometto, Jean Pierre; Rosa, MarceloO de Cunha tem como objetivo promover o compartilhamento de informações de cunho socioambiental sobre o município de Cunha, buscando a prevenção e orientação da população cunhense em relação a ocorrência de desastres naturais no município. Sua elaboração foi possível com a implementação do projeto “Comunicar para prevenir: criação de uma plataforma digital para enfrentamento das mudanças climáticas e da vulnera...
Effects of Agricultural Land Use on the Ecohydrology of Small- Medium Mediterra...
Matono, Paula; Batista, Teresa; Sampaio, Elsa; Ilhéu, MariaSouthern Europe has been experiencing an accelerated intensification of agricultural systems in the last decades with consequent environmental effects. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of agricultural land use in two small-medium river basins in the South of Portugal, regarding: (i) water quality and stream habitat; (ii) fish fauna; and (iii) soil. Sampling included fish captures, water, and soil sample...
Downscaling climate change of water availability, sediment yield and extreme ev...
Zhang, Rong; Corte-Real, João; Moreira, Madalena; Kilsby, Chris; Birkinshaw, Stephen; Burton, Aidan; Fowler, Hayley J.; Forsythe, NathanA robust hydrological impact assessment is indispensable for mitigation and adaptation planning. This study presents an integrated modelling methodology for evaluating climate change impacts on water availability, sediment yield and extreme events at the catchment scale. We propose the use of the spatial–temporal Neyman–Scott Rectangular Pulses (STNSRP) model—RainSim V3 and the rainfall conditioned daily weathe...
Downscaling climate change of mean climatology and extremes of precipitation an...
Zhang, Rong; Corte-Real, João; Moreira, Madalena; Kilsby, Chris; Burton, Aidan; Fowler, Hayley J.; Blenkinsop, Stephen; Forsythe, NathanDownscaling is usually necessary for robust hydrological impact assessments. This may be undertaken using a wide range of methods, including a combination of dynamical and statistical‐stochastic downscaling. This study uses the Spatial–Temporal Neyman‐Scott Rectangular Pulses model—RainSimV3, the precipitation‐conditioned daily weather generator—ICAAM‐WG, and the change factor approach for downscaling synthetic...

Climate and Landuse Change Impacts on hydrological processes and soil erosion i...
Santos, Juliana; Nunes, João Pedro; Sampaio, Elsa; Lima, Júlio; Jacinto, Rita; Corte-Real, JoãoClimate change is expected to increase aridity in the Mediterranean rim of Europe, due to decreasing rainfall and increasing temperatures. This could lead to impacts on soil erosion, since the lower rainfall could nevertheless become concentrated in higher intensity events during the wet season, while the more arid conditions could reduce vegetation cover, also due to climate-induced land-use changes. In conseq...
Impacts of climate change on erosion in humid and dry Mediterranean regions of ...
Nunes, João Pedro; Santos, Juliana Marisa; Sampaio, Elsa; Corte-Real, João; Moreira, Madalena; Jacinto, Rita; Bernard-Jannin, LéonardSoils in the Mediterranean regions of Europe are often vulnerable to soil erosion, due to a combination of annual plant cover cycles, centuries of human use, the concentration of rainstorms in a short period of the year, and other factors. Climate change could bring about a warmer and drier climate, limiting vegetation growth while bringing heavier storms during winter. This could eventually lead to higher risk...
Evaluation of future climate change impacts on semi-arid Cobres basin in southe...
Zhang, Rong; Corte-Real, João; Moreira, Madalena; Kilsby, Chris; Burton, Aidan; Blenkinsop, Stephen; Forsythe, Nathan; Nunes, João; Sampaio, ElsaThis study evaluated future climate change impacts on hydrological and sediment transport processes for the medium-sized (705 km2) agriculture dominated Cobres basin, Portugal, in the context of anti-desertification strategies. We used the Spatial-Temporal Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulses (STNSRP) model—RainSim V3, a rainfall conditioned weather generator—ICAAM-WG, developed in this study but based on the modifi...
