Last week I had the opportunity to present my PhD research at the Royal Horticultural Society Wisley and share how remote sensing technology can helps us to build more complex landscapes.

A minha perspectiva sobre a importância de um papel mais interventivo da floresta pública na gestão das florestas e paisagens em Portugal.

Meeting a huge ancient tree is always a humbling experience. The Queen Elisabeth Oak in Sussex is one of such trees and a great example of the great historical, cultural, and ecological significance of these big large living beings in the landscapes.

Very large pollard chestnut trees in Portugal. Not only they provide nuts, wood and honey but also they are a key cultural symbol for local communities and landscapes.

At University of Cambridge this week for the Student Conference for Conservation Science. Great to present a poster with my PhD plans and learn from fellow ecologists and conservationists around the world 🌱🌍

I've spent the last few months visiting sites in Southern UK collecting remote sensing data on different land management strategies. How stunning landscapes can become when biodiversity & ecosystem restoration is a priority.

Laser scanning in the woods 🌳

In the transitioning areas between primary sand dunes and coastal woodlands, one can find nice surprises. Twisted pine trees growing close to the ground as a result of harsh winds. They create shelter for other plants (some rare!) & are threatened by invasive species and soon by sea level rise.

Great start to the #BES2024 conference at Liverpool 🌱
