The cork oak tree (<i>Quercus suber</i> L.) symbolizes <i>the Montado</i> landscape in Portugal and is a central element in the country’s social and economic history. In recent decades, the loss of thousands of cork oaks has been reported, revealing the ongoing decline of these agroforestry ecosystems. This emblematic tree of the Mediterranean Basin is host to the soil-born root pathogen <i>Phytophthora cinnamo...

Due to climate change, the hydrological drought is assuming a structural character with a tendency to worsen in many countries. The frequency and intensity of droughts is predicted to increase, particularly in the Mediterranean region and in Southern Africa. Since a fraction of the fresh water that is consumed is used to irrigate urban fabric green spaces, which are typically made up of gardens, lanes and round...
Cork oak decline in Mediterranean forests is a complex phenomenon, observed with remarkable frequency in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, causing the weakening and death of these woody plants. The defoliation of the canopy, the presence of dry peripheral branches, and exudations on the trunk are visible symptoms used for the prognosis of decline, complemented by the presence of Phytophthora cinnamomi...
The pathological interaction between oak trees and Phytophthora cinnamomi has implications in the cork oak decline observed over the last decades in the Iberian Peninsula. During host colonization, the phytopathogen secretes effector molecules like elicitins to increase disease effectiveness. The objective of this study was to unravel the proteome changes associated with the cork oak immune response triggered b...

Wireless sensor networks are used to monitor and control physical phenomena and to provide interaction between clients and the physical environment. Clients have been typically users or user applications, but next generation wireless sensor networks will also work in machine-to-machine scenarios where some nodes can be interested in some other nodes' data. These scenarios may run the risk of becoming overloaded...
Wireless sensor technologies can be used by intelligent transportation systems to provide innovative services that lead to improvements in road safety and congestion, increasing end-user satisfaction. In this article, we address vehicle routing with backup provisioning, where the possibility of reacting to overloading/overcrowding of vehicles at certain stops is considered. This is based on the availability of ...
The Internet of Things is expected to incorporate objects and sensor networks of all kinds, and in particular, constrained sensor networks where energy consumption is a critical issue. In order to increase the lifetime of such networks, intelligent and standard-based solutions should be used. Here, we address this challenge through the use of CoRE interfaces for the resource design. These interfaces allow the s...
