Resumo(s)
Mountain permanent pastures are one of the most important resources in traditional systems of land use, extensively
distributed in central and northern mainland Portugal. Its importance in biodiversity conservation, not only at regional
and national level, but also in the European context is generally recognized. They include meadows, mesophille perennial
Nardus grasslands and other perennial pastures of high ecological, economic, cultural and scenic value.They have
important functions such as prevention of soil erosion, reducing the risk of fire, between others. Generally, they are
grazed mainly by cattle and sheep; some of them are cut and improved aiming to increase their nutritional value. The
increasing desertification limits the maintenance and conservation of its biodiversity and the landscape mosaic associated
with it. A revision and synthesis of habitats and plant communities associated, that develop in these permanent
pastures, in Beira Alta, is presented, as well an approach to their maintenance, management and conservation
