Lay rationalities of climate change

In this special issue we were also interested in revealing the level of concepts and the level of social action, trying to contribute to the answer of questions like: How local populations explain, interpret and deal with climate change? What are the individual and collective actions in response to climate change? How do populations deal with Climate Change mitigation (risk perception and risk-mitigating)? What...

Changes in zooplankton communities along a mercury contamination gradient in a ...

The main objective of this paper was to evaluate the impact of mercury on the zooplankton communities’ structure and functioning and their bioaccumulation patterns along a contamination gradient in a temperate coastal lagoon. Our results demonstrated that total abundance was not negatively affected by Hg contamination, since the most contaminated areas presented the highest values, being the copepod Acartia ton...

Diagnóstico sobre equipamentos para a educação ambiental no distrito de Lisboa ...

Tendo presente o papel dos Equipamentos para a Educação Ambiental (EqEA) no campo da Educação Ambiental (EA) não formal, pretendeu-se diagnosticar iniciativas desenvolvidas por EqEA no distrito de Lisboa. Estas iniciativas foram observadas à luz dos modelos/correntes genéricos de EA e do critério “impacto social”, considerando os elementos-recursos de um EqEA (instalações; recursos metodológicos; recursos human...

Fish distribution in fauna data in Lagoon of Aveiro (North Portugal): a compara...

The present study aims to identify fish species mentioned in the Parish Descriptions of 1758 to the lagoon of Aveiro, comparing them with those existing at present. By crossing and interpretation of the resulting data of these two analyses (1758 and timeliness), we can identify which species that remain and those who no longer have individuals in the habitats listed in historical source. Explanatory hypotheses ...

The contribution of scientific research for integrated coastal management: the ...

The present paper quantifies and summarizes the research performed in the Mondego estuary (Portugal) over the last decades. Online databases were used to quantitatively assess the international publications, the master dissertations and PhD theses focused in the research about that estuary, from 1989 to 2012. In general, there had been a notable growth trend in publication output. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf S...

The use of an estuarine system (Mondego estuary, Portugal) as didactic tool to ...

The present paper reviews and discusses the use of the Mondego estuary (Portugal) ecosystem as educational tool for science and environmental teachers/educators. The Mondego estuary is a coastal area of acknowledged high socioeconomic and environmental value (National Ecological Reserve, Important Bird Area and RAMSAR site) whose characteristics (e.g. two distinct subsystems with different physicochemical and e...

Vertical patterns of ichthyoplankton at the interface between a temperate estua...

Vertical distribution and migration pattern of ichthyoplankton assemblage in the Mondego estuary were investigated in relation to diel and tidal cycle. Summer and winter communities were sampled, at surface and bottom, over a diel cycle during spring and neap tides at a fixed station at the mouth of the estuary. Summer presented higher larvae density mainly of Pomatoschistus spp., Gobius niger and Parablennius ...

Cidadania ambiental e participação: o diálogo e articulação entre distintos sab...
