Soil health dynamics across moisture regimes and depth in Montado forests under ecological drought: Evidence from the SOLMAN-DCC Project

Introduction Mediterranean montado ecosystems are multifunctional agro-silvo-pastoral landscapes increasingly exposed to drought and climatic variability. Soil properties play an important role in maintaining ecosystem functioning, yet their spatial variability in relation to moisture availability remains insuffic...

Environmental controls of litter decomposition across topographic, soil‑texture, and stand‑structure gradients in mountain forests

Litter decomposition regulates carbon and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems, yet its response to interacting effects of seasonality, elevation, and microclimate remains poorly understood, especially in mountain forests experiencing climate change (Panayotov and Tsvetanov (2023), Ma et al. (2024)). Slope aspect ca...

MAPPING SOIL MOISTURE AND CARBON HOTSPOTS IN A MONTADO ECOSYSTEM: A CASE STUDY IN COMPANHIA DAS LEZÍRIAS, PORTUGAL

Montado landscapes in Portugal are high-nature-value agro-silvo-pastoral systems that provide multiple ecosystem services. These systems face increasing pressures from climate change, land-use transformations, and declining tree regeneration. Soil health plays a central role in ecosystem resilience and carbon storage....
