Forest Fire Sustainability: Numerical Simulation of a Pine Tree Thermal Response and the Thermal Radiative Phenomenon

(Corresponding) Conceição E., Gomes J., Lúcio M., Raposo J., Viegas D., Viegas M.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

This paper presents a numerical simulation of a pine tree thermal response and the thermal radiative phenomenon, in order to evaluate the forest fire sustainability. The three-dimensional pine tree model is made by 2289 cylindrical elements, with 1.8 m height, to represent its trunk, branches and...Read more

Prescribed fire combined with guided herbivory can control shrub development in an Iberian heathland

Álvarez-López V., Santiago-Freijanes J., Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada R.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

The high amount of biomass fuel accumulated in Mediterranean areas due to land abandonment, combined with the effects of climate change, results in high severity fires that strongly affect local environment and social communities. Traditional fire practices and livestock grazing can be efficient...Read more

Agroforestry innovation networks (AFINET): Knowledge Transfer and Innovation

Rodríguez-Rigueiro F., Santiago-Freijanes J., Ferreiro-Domínguez N., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

Agroforestry is recognised as climate-smart agriculture, being a powerful tool for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Considering knowledge transfer a capital challenge to overcome the needed transition towards this for the European Commission, the AFINET (AgroForestry Innovation NETworks)...Read more

Rural Development and Local Government - The example of the Regional Unit of Evritania in the development of beekeeping

Tasios A., Gounari S., Fotiadis G., (Corresponding) Papadopoulos A.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

The region of Evritania is a mountainous area of Central Greece. Its intense and rough terrain is characterized by lush diversity in flora and fauna species and landscapes. It has a long history that extends back to pre-historical times. However, this unique nature’s hot spot is facing during the...Read more

Mechanism of tolerance and adaptive strategies developed by Moringa oleifera (L) during its growth under a salt constraint in hydroponics

BOUMENJEL A., PAPADOPOULOS A., (Corresponding) Pantera A., AMMARI Y.

Topic:

Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability

Moringa oleifera (L) is a promising species to be used in reforestations of dry areas. A question that remains to be investigated is its resistance to salinity conditions. This work’s major goal was to investigate the response of this species in increasing salinity conditions, in order to increase...Read more
