With this course, we aim at providing the participants with the basics of lichen biology and ecology, biomonitoring and data analysis methods to allow the use of lichens for the interpretation of the environmental conditions and the development of a responsible scientific-based environmental management.

Currently, climate changes or alterations are known to be reflected on the stable isotope ratios of Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen and Sulphur present in atmospheric gas forms, fresh or ocean water, as well as in plants and animals and organic matter in the soil. Samples from those matrices can provide a record for such changes across a given length of time and / or space. Also, ecological and physiological processes often reflect on stable isotope ratios, again setting a record in plant, animal or other living tissues.

This is a mostly practical course offering an overview on different community ecology and macroecological methods and software. These will include all steps of a research project, from the optimal sampling of communities to process inference from large-scale patterns of taxon, phylogenetic and functional diversity.

Nature-based approach to Design solutions for a more resilient future aims to support societies address a variety of environmental, social and economic challenges in sustainable ways. This approach relies on actions that are inspired by, supported by or copied from Nature. Nature-based solutions use the features and complex system processes of nature, such as its ability to store carbon and regulate water flow, to achieve desired outcomes, such as reduced disaster risk, improved human well-being and socio-ecological inclusiveness.

The goal of this course is to provide the participants with current and practical knowledge on urban ecology, including ecological and social aspects. It aims at providing an integrated approach on urban socio-ecological systems. The focus of the course will extend from learning how to assess ecosystem services, the use of ecological indicators, to evaluate the status and trends of the environment, as well as, people’s perceptions and knowledge regarding biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Objectives:

O conceito Desenvolvimento Sustentável nasceu há 30 anos com o lançamento do Relatório de Bruntland intitulado “O Nosso Futuro Comum”. Atualmente, é considerado um desígnio global, de acordo com os objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável, da Organização das Nações Unidas, sendo encarado, a nível nacional, como uma meta da Agenda 2030.

O Centro de Ecologia, Evolução e Alterações Ambientais (cE3c-FCUL) associa-se às celebrações do Dia da Ecologia, que se assinala a 14 de setembro a nível Europeu, organizando o Workshop e Visita Guiada "Alterações nos padrões de distribuição de briófitos epifíticos em ambientes urbanos e seu significado ecológico e climático", na Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (FCUL).
