The "Characterization and Valorization of Mediterranean multi-purpose systems: the particular case of the Quercus Rotundifolia “montado” in Portugal" Ph.D. project aims are:
- The Quercus Rotundifolia “montado” as an agro-forestry system: a historical evolution;
- Assessment of the Quercus Rotundifolia “montado” condition, considering a distance gradient from the Alqueva dam.
- Evaluation of the phenological pattern variation in a broad spatial scale - "Citizen Science"
- Identification of the factors responsible for the Quercus Rotundifolia “montado”´s degradation.
- Propose management practices in order to contribute to the vitalization of the Quercus Rotundifolia “montado”.
