Understanding intra and inter-archipelago population genetic patterns within a recently evolved insular endemic lineage
L. Borges Silva,Julie Sardos,Miguel Menezes de Sequeira,Lurdes Borges Silva,Daniel J. Crawford,Mónica Moura +5 more
TL;DR: Genetic structure analysis, in addition to a spatial analysis, confirmed the existence of geographically circumscribed genetic patterns allied to a barrier effect by the sea in the Azorean T. azorica and T. succulenta.

Comparison of -Square, Point Centered Quarter, and -Tree Sampling Methods in Pittosporum undulatum Invaded Woodlands
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared -square sampling, Point Centered Quarter Method (PCQM), and -tree sampling with benchmark quadrat (QD) sampling in six 900m2 plots established at P. undulatum stands in Sao Miguel Island.
Linking Dendrometry and Dendrochronology in the Dominant Azorean Tree Laurus azorica (Seub.) Franco
Bárbara Matos,Lurdes Borges Silva,Ricardo Camarinho,Armindo Rodrigues,Ruben Rego,Mariana Câmara,Luís Silva +6 more
TL;DR: A baseline study of the growth ring anatomy of Laurus azorica in Sao Miguel Island (Azores) will allow a better understanding of forest distribution and dynamics, and support a more effective forest management approach.

Taxonomic, structural diversity and carbon stocks in a gradient of island forests
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors assessed plant diversity, forest structure and carbon stocks in a gradient of three forest types (Natural Forest-NF; Exotic Woodland-EW and Production Forest-PF) in three of the Azores islands.
Land cover along hiking trails in a nature tourism destination: the Azores as a case study
Diogo C. Pavão,João Porteiro,Maria A. Ventura,Lurdes Borges Silva,António Medeiros,Ana Isabel Damião de Serpa Arruda Moniz,Mónica Moura,Francisco Moreira,Luís Silva +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a quantitative GIS-based analysis to determine the predominant types of land cover found along hiking trails in the Azores and found that agriculture/pastureland dominated land cover along most trails and that land cover distribution was correlated with global land cover partitioning.
