The increase in agricultural production and food quality has forced the growing use of plastics various activities. plastic wastes are partially recycled or outside Portugal; nevertheless, contaminated sent to landfill. It is crucial consider new models for their valorization at a regional level from circular economy perspective. In scope Placarvões project, study was elaborated, which included types quantities used irrigation area Alqueva Dam, southern Portugal. crops that most intensive...
As rainfall becomes scarcer or more erratic, we rely on irrigation systems for agricultural and human water provision. Impacts of canals such as the barrier effect wildlife movements are poorly documented. Although canal culverts overpasses can be used by wildlife, little is known about their crossing behavior to guide mitigation efforts. Over seven years, recorded medium-sized carnivore crossings video-surveillance through 30 28 in a large project south-central Portugal. We examined...
The zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, has strong economic and environmental effects within a wide range of habitats, including reservoirs, there is need to monitor in advance an arrival so that elimination might be possible.We report the establishment mussel Alfundão Reservoir, small reservoir south Portugal, 190 km away from closest known population Spain.The area been monitored using suspended ropes since 2016, during October 2019, mussels 5-43.8 mm shell length were recorded for first...
