Abstract Nature conservation policy is mainly concerned with aboveground terrestrial species and soil biodiversity has been largely ignored, resulting in a lack of information about the status most organisms effects that nature policies have on systems. Forests Northern Portugal are characterized by remarkable diversity ecosystems provide habitat for an enormous living organisms. This study aims to investigate whether what extent protected areas forest typology (native vs. exotic) affect...
Soil degradation has concerning impacts on ecosystem functions and biodiversity, decreasing essential processes such as food production or sustaining water quality. We studied eight soil threats to assess processes: hydrogeological risks, sealing, salinization, desertification, contamination, compaction, erosion decline in organic matter. A knowledge-based methodology was used measure the importance of 15 anthropogenic environmental variables, with top weights availability (0.11), rate land...
