- Sintra vegetation and landscapePublication . Mesquita, S.; Arsénio, Pedro; Lousã, M.; Monteiro-Henriques, T.; Costa, José CarlosThe field trip to Sintra region, as part of the 48th IAVS Symposium, aims to illustrate well-preserved and representative plant communities of Sintra municipality. It consists of two short field stops and a 3 km walk
- The coastal vegetation of the portuguese Divisory Sector: dunes, cliffs, saltmarshes and low-scrub communitiesPublication . Costa, José Carlos; Lousã, M.; Capelo, J.; Espírito-Santo, Maria Dalila; Izco, J.; Arsénio, Pedro
- Flora e vegetação do sudoeste de Portugal continentalPublication . Neto, Carlos; Arsénio, Pedro; Costa, José CarlosThe present paper presents the updated syntaxonomical typology of southwest mainland Portugal, complemented with the table of correspondence of each syntaxon with the NATURA 2000 habitats code (when applicable) as well as the floristic catalog of the studied area. All the syntaxa include chorological, synecological and floristic information. Regarding the lower level syntaxa (association and subassociation), its characteristic and differential taxa are cited. New syntaxa are accompanied by its typus relevé, chorological information, sinecology and reference to characteristic and differential taxa.
- Vegetação de MombejaPublication . Vasconcelos, Maria Teresa; Monteiro, Ana; Moreira, I.; Sousa, E.; Arsénio, PedroThe habitats of the natural vegetation concerning the region between the localities Peroguarda, Beringel and Mombeja are presented. Based on the reasonable conservation and floristic diversity of the natural vegetation on the center of the extense cereal country on the South Alentejo province, the atrihution of a conservation status is proposed. Besides the well represented species which are described, the value of the site is enhanced by the presence of the rare species Adonis amua L. ssp. annua, Cynara tournefortii Boiss. & Reuter, Echium boissieri Steudel and Linaria hirta (L.) Moench. The phytosociological assotiations and its syntaxomie are presented and the habitas cited on Directive 92/43/EEC are referred: 92A0 - ash mediterranean ripanan galleries; 3280 constantly flowing meditermean rivers; 5330 - all types of thermo-mediterranean and pre-step pe brush; 6220 - pseudo-steppe with grasses and annnuals; 63 10 - sclerophillus grazed forest with the holmoaks
- Guia geobotânico da excursão ALFA 2009 ao litoral alentejanoPublication . Arsénio, Pedro; Neto, C.; Monteiro-Henriques, T.; Costa, José CarlosThe organization of the Geobotanical Excursion by ALFA (Associação Lusitana de Fitossociologia) is yet another contribution for the enhancement and addition of scientific knowledge regarding the flora and vegetation of the Portuguese territory. This field guide is, thus, a synthetic description of the flora and vegetation occurring in the Coastal Vincentine biogeographical district. Considering both the richness and relevance of its flora (including many endemic species, in particular along its dune fields and rocky cliffs), as well as the diversity of its plant communities, it is clear that we are before one of the most valuable territories regarding nature conservation and biodiversity. Consequently, the locations described in the present field trip guide try to include a large array of habitats (and respective plant communities) occurring in the study region, although with no pretension of being complete. For each community enumerated an ecological characterization is presented, focusing on its hydrology, pedology, geology and geomorphology, as well as bioclimate. Some new syntaxa are presented, which resulted from the field survey undertaken. Lastly, the altitudinal cliseries of the study area is presented.
