Bioproducts: trees in our daily lives
They are there along our journeys, they are there and everywhere in gardens and woods in our cities, in forests and assorted habitats. Trees are an integral part of our reality and their potential is huge. A clear example of this is bioproducts, sustainable and renewable resources, which can be used in many ways.
Acacias: beautiful but dangerous
They are among the most aggressive invasive species: acacias greatly affect the areas where they grow and the quality of life of “neighbours”. To reduce their negative impact we have to know these invaders well and act in a preventive manner to anticipate possible disruptions. Learn more about this genus and why acacias are an invasive species that threatens biodiversity.
Spring in the woods
For many, this is a time of renewal and rebirth, to rekindle energies and an inspiring awakening for painters and writers; for others, it’s the beginning of allergy season – such is spring. Of all seasons, it’s the one with the power to awaken nature, fauna and flora, offering a warm embrace after a long winter. Learn about the transformative effects of spring on forests and how it is affected by climate change.
Zambujo: the riches of Quercus rotundifolia forests
As the Zambujo reCover project advances – a project focused on the ecological renovation of Zambujo, an estate managed by The Navigator Company and located in Idanha-a-Nova, in the heart of the International Tagus Natural Park – we get to know in more detail both its habitats and the existing fauna and flora. Discover one of the most prominent habitats: Habitat 9340 – “Quercus ilex and Quercus rotundifolia Forests pt1”, a Habitat of Community Interest (HIC).
The fantastic world of plant sexuality
Like humans, plants are born, grow, reproduce, and die. In an asexual or sexual way, naturally, with technical intervention or with the intervention from pollinating animals, Nature multiplies and plant sexuality is one of the essential tools for this to happen. Find out in in this article what lies behind the “magic” of plant reproduction.
