dc.description.abstractThe main motivation of this thesis is to contribute to the adaptation of Montado agro-silvopastoral landscapes of Portugal, located mostly in the Alentejo and Algarve regions. These landscapes and agro-forestry ecosystems are in increased danger, as climate change pressure increases. The complexity of climate adaptation planning and action, in this sector, is very large and this thesis aims to answer the question “How can we plan and adapt to climate change, the Montado agro-silvo-pastoral systems of the Alentejo region?”. Using a Participatory Action Research approach, this works main result is, to begin with, a framework for the climate adaptation of agriculture and forestry of Mediterranean climate regions. This framework presents a review of 162 adaptation measures that are organized into 5 main adaptation strategies, presenting indicators and quantification of efficacy. The second main result is the upgrade of the SWAP – Scenario Workshop & Adaptation Pathways method for the use in agro-forestry systems, dealing with the limitations of Adaptation Pathways in nature resource management and integrating participatory planning in climate adaptation. The practical and concrete use in the three case studies, the municipality of Mértola, the Noudar nature park and the Ribeira Abaixo farm constitute the practical cases in which the framework and methods were tested and evaluated. The adaptation plans and actions are under implementation in the three case studies, and from the experiments developed in Ribeira Abaixo farm, a third article was published, with concrete results on the use and creation of Microclimates to increase the success of cork oak afforestations. Finally, the authors’ first-hand experience and learning from the participatory adaptation planning and from the implementation of several adaptation measures in 100 hectares with a LIFE project, constitute the basis of the discussion chapter, that points to the scaling-up of adaptation and identifies several avenues of future research.pt_PT
