Em Novembro de 2007 realizou-se uma reunião entre a Direcção da ALFA e Instituto da Conservação da Natureza e da Biodiversidade (ICNB). Ficou então decidido que a ALFA tomaria a seu cargo a elaboração da Checklist da Flora de Portugal (Continental, Açores e Madeira). Após quase 3 anos de trabalho, a ALFA apresentou publicamente a Checklist durante os VIII Encontros Internacionais de Fitossociologia – ALFA, que ...
Genista scorpius foi herborizada no concelho de Vinhais, em Outubro de 1938, por Artur Augusto Taborda de Moraes [1900-1959]. O achado desta espécie na província de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro constituiu novidade para a flora de Portugal.
An attempt to obtain a consistent spatial model of natural potential vegetation (NPV) for the mainland Portuguese territory is reported. Spatial modeling procedures performed in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment, aimed to operationalize phytosociological expert-knowledge about the putative distribution of potential zona1 forest communities dominant in the Portuguese continental territories. The ...
Porto Santo is a deeply eroded oceanic island. The human uses of the territory led to a massive destruction of its primitive vegetation cover and its substitution by new types of vegetation constituted by plants adapted to the novel perturbation regimes introduced by human settlers. A vegetation cover once dominated by trees or shrubs that evolved isolated from herbivory during millions of years, was replaced s...
The littoral geomorphology of the Porto Santo Island is of paramount importance in the coastal phytocoenosis assemblage: the southern part of the island has an 8 km long sand beach with littoral sandstone platforms in its eastern extreme; sandstone or volcanic (mostly trachits) sea cliffs predominate in the rest of the island; in the northern part of the island, near the airport, there is an elevated dune (more...
