Resumo(s)
Quinta da Moenda is a forest area of approximately 3 hectares (ha) belonging to Liga para a Proteção da Natureza (LPN). In recent decades, ecological restoration work has been developed with the aim of recovering the native forest and conserving biodiversity. The objective of this report is then to characterize the history of the restoration interventions conducted, identifying the different zones of the study area, and evaluating the evolution of the vegetation in each of these zones. This assessment was achieved by comparing the tree layer (2009-2024) and evaluating current natural regeneration, as well as the factors that influence it. In addition, a survey of the pine dominated area was also conducted. The reconstruction of the historical interventions resulted from bibliographic research and interviews. Several native species are present in the forest such as the Portuguese-oak, cork oak, black oak, chestnut, maritime pine, among others. Considerable natural regeneration of sycamore maple has emerged in recent years, diversifying the forest dominated by Portuguese oak, cork oak and olive trees. Generally, the natural regeneration is abundant and largely composed of maple and Portuguese-oak. It’s influenced mostly by the presence of human or livestock disturbance and by the herbaceous and shrub layer, indicating a possible association with the availability of water in the soil as well. Over the last 15 years the forest has grown, recording currently higher values of species richness and diversity. There has been maturing of already established trees as well as a strong presence of young trees, indicating the continued existence of natural regeneration and ongoing recruitment parallel to the development of the adult forest. Together, these sections provide a global image of the forest and its evolution over recent decades, providing necessary information for future management choices.
