Multi-driven and LLM-assisted analytical modeling: evaluation in an industrial case

Cristiana Vieira, Vânia Isabel Fernandes Sousa, Pedro Rui Pereira Guimarães, Diogo Rodrigues et autres

Decision-making in industrial environments increasingly depends on the ability to align operational data with strategic goals. Data-driven approaches often focus on the available data while overlooking the specific informational needs of decision makers. To bridge this gap, this paper proposes a multi-driven …

eBryoSoil: a citizen science application to monitor changes in soil ecosystems

André F. Mira, Joaquín Hortal, Ana Paula Portela, Belén Albertos et autres

Biological soil covers (BSCs) play a pivotal role in ecosystem functioning by enhancing soil stability, mediating nutrient cycling, and influencing soil hydrology. Recognized as ecosystem engineers, they can physically modify, maintain, or create habitats, facilitating plant community development. Through these intricate interactions, …

Similar breeding performance despite inter-annual differences in diet composition of seabirds inhabiting a tropical environment

Ivo dos Santos, Ana M. M. Gonçalves, AR Carreiro, B. Martins et autres

Amidst unprecedented anthropogenic pressure on marine ecosystems, seabirds can serve as sentinels for shifts in marine prey availability. We examined the diet and foraging ecology of 2 sympatric Procellariiformes, the Cape Verde shearwaterCalonectris edwardsiiand Bulwer’s petrelBulweria bulwerii, during their breeding period in …

Environmental filtering and environmental stress shape regional patterns of riparian community assembly and functional diversity

Ana Paula Portela, Isabelle Durance, Cristiana Vieira, João P. Honrado

Abstract Riparian plant communities are key to ecosystem functioning and important providers of ecosystem services on which wildlife and people depend. Ecosystem functioning and stability depend on functional diversity and redundancy. Therefore, understanding which and how different drivers shape community assembly processes …

Bryophyte assembly rules across scales

J.L.F. Monteiro, Cristiana Vieira, Cristina Branquinho

Abstract Understanding how species assemble into communities is a central issue in community ecology. So far, most studies have focused on the assembly mechanisms of vascular plant communities, while the role of deterministic (environmental filtering and biotic interactions) and stochastic (e.g. dispersal …

Riparian forest response to extreme drought is influenced by climatic context and canopy structure

Ana Paula Portela, João Gonçalves, Isabelle Durance, Cristiana Vieira et autres

Droughts significantly impact forest ecosystems, reducing forest health and productivity, compromising ecosystem functioning, and nature-based solutions for climate change. The response and resilience of riparian forests to drought are poorly understood despite their key role in the functioning of aquatic and terrestrial …
