Understanding the relationship between spatial patterns of landscape attributes and population presence and abundance is essential for understanding population processes as well as supporting management and conservation strategies. This study evaluates the influence of three factors: environment, habitat management, and season on the presence and abundance of the wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), an importan...

Changing agriculture- changing landscape: what is going on in the high nature v...

The Portuguese montado is a particular land use system, characterized by the combination, in the same area, of the forestry and the grazing components interrelating with each other, in large-scale farm units. Mostly, this system is acknowledged due to its specific landscape character, in a savanna-like phisionomy, with changing densities along a continuous tree cover of holm and cork oaks and grazing in the und...

Contemporary landscape architecture design as a regenerator of the collective m...

The space of the urban landscape is a palimpsest of stratified and overlapping memories. It is created by its inhabitants, by the moments of their lives and, above all, by their memory. Several authors have focused on the question of the relation between memory and space, referring to its importance in the construction and in the perception of the landscape and, consequently, in its appropriation and living exp...

Montado management effects on the abundance and conservation of reptiles in Ale...

This study was carried out in the Iberian-Mediterranean region of Alentejo (Southern Portugal) to discover which ‘montado’ management practices significantly affected reptile variables (abundance, richness). Field surveys on 30 sampling plots allowed us to identify 370 individuals distributed among 12 terrestrial reptile species (six lizards, one amphisbaenid and five colubrid snakes). The lizard Psammodromus a...
