Recent efforts have compiled distribution data on Iberian Peninsula peatlands, however, the criteria used to characterise these ecosystems have often been derived from regions where peatlands are more extensive and typically occur under wetter climatic conditions. As a result, many peat-accumulating wetlands in this region were overlooked. Identify...
Ecosystems with a naturally accumulated peat layer at the surface and wetlands with or without a peat layer dominated by a vegetation that may produce peat (hereafter 'peatlands' for simplicity) are critical assets in global change due to their large carbon content storage capacity and essential ecosystem services. A Global Peatland Assessment was...
In the 21 st century, the implementation of doctoral education in Geography has led to an increase in the number of theses focused on Physical Geography. However, little is known about the dynamics inherent to fieldwork techniques, methods, and studied topics. In order to gain a better understanding of this increasing trend and its evolution, this...
Iberian peatlands have been severely affected by land use and land cover (LULC) changes. Despite these pressures , some peatlands persist in the region, although their susceptibility to LULC change remains poorly understood. This study presents the most detailed and extensive distribution data for Iberian peatlands to date and analyzes the dynamics...

Heatwaves are an extreme meteorological event in which affected populations may also be exposed to deteriorated air quality conditions due to the increase in air pollutant concentrations, such as PM10 (particulate matter < 10 µg/m³). In order to identify heatwaves (1973–2019) in the region of Faro (Algarve) during the hot season (April–September),...
