Considering the present ecological crisis, land use-biodiversity relationships have become a major topic in landscape planning, ecosystem management and restoration. In this scope, consistent patterns of outstanding biodiversity been identified agroforestry systems within diverse biogeographic regions types management. Empirical work has revealed that higher structural complexity, when compared with current simplified agricultural systems, might be partially responsible for observed...
Capsule The Skylark Alauda arvensis had the highest overall mortality in ten Northern Portuguese wind farms surveyed between 2006 and 2011. Analysis from integration of conventional molecular techniques suggest a sex age biased affecting mainly adult males (90.9%), which may be related to their characteristic breeding male song-flights making them highly vulnerable collision with turbines. results highlight added value more complete population impact assessments that go beyond simple carcass...
Summary The E urasian skylark A lauda arvensis is very susceptible to the negative effects of wind farms. In northern P ortugal, this evidence particularly severe due skylark's preference for mountain breeding habitats where most farms are located. Facing frequent failure environmental impact assessments ( EIA ) evaluate cumulative impacts on wildlife, study aimed develop and test a methodology quantify local regional consequences birds, using skylarks as species, taking into account future...
Home gardening has a long history that started when humans became sedentary, being traditionally considered an accessible source of food and medicinal plants to treat common illnesses. With trends towards urbanization industrialization, particularly in the post-World War II period, importance home gardens as important spaces for growing reduced they began be increasingly seen decorative leisure spaces. However, awareness negative impacts agricultural intensification human health, quality,...
In Europe, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) encouraged specialisation of agriculture and forestry systems by supporting schemes that promoted productivity, despite socio-ecological changes' detrimental effects on ecosystem services biodiversity. case mountain viticulture southern adoption intensive management techniques triggered noticeable changes in farming systems, namely removal traditional stonewalls semi-natural vegetation, partially compensated eco agri-environment-climate...
Invasive alien plants negatively impact ecosystems, necessitating intricate management actions. In a critically endangered vegetation type within the fynbos biome of South Africa, study was performed comparing different interventions over plots invaded by Acacia saligna . A dynamic modeling approach designed to analyze field data and simulate effectiveness several restoration methods. Field for recovery rates course 2 years were fed into model, which allowed extrapolation multiple...
