The Barroso agro-sylvo-pastoral system is a clear example of this alignment between existing society, nature and natural resources, the environment, landscapes, and contextual heritage. Moreover, the sustainable use of existing natural resources, excellent environmental conditions, and breath-taking untouched landscapes represent a truly relevant factor towards the development of a region economy that is still greatly influenced by an engraved cultural, patrimonial, and agricultural heritage. Given the GIAHS classification attributed to that territory, the need arises to guarantee the existing environmental conditions. This context will allow the maintenance of the GIAHS classification, ensuring the quality of life in the region and stimulating its socio-economic development and overall sustainability. The present article describes a proposal for a digital ecosystem model aimed at the Barroso GIAHS, composed of four main functional hubs that actively interact with each other: smart environment, smart government, smart economy, and smart people. Based on wireless sensor networks, IoT, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and other technological solutions, this solution will allow real-time control of the territory\u2019s environmental conditions and develop more efficient and well-supported management and governance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su141610349","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,22]],"date-time":"2022-08-22T01:56:40Z","timestamp":1661133400000},"page":"10349","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Digital Ecosystem Model for GIAHS: The Barroso Agro-Sylvo-Pastoral System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7787-6305","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Martins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AquaValor\u2014Centro de Valoriza\u00e7\u00e3o e Transfer\u00eancia de Tecnologia da \u00c1gua, 5400-342 Chaves, Portugal"},{"name":"Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2951-385X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catarina","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AquaValor\u2014Centro de Valoriza\u00e7\u00e3o e Transfer\u00eancia de Tecnologia da \u00c1gua, 5400-342 Chaves, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5868-4669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jani","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AquaValor\u2014Centro de Valoriza\u00e7\u00e3o e Transfer\u00eancia de Tecnologia da \u00c1gua, 5400-342 Chaves, Portugal"},{"name":"Molecular Oncology and Viral Pathology Group, IPO Porto Research Center (CI-IPOP), Portuguese Oncology Institute of Porto (IPO Porto), Rua Dr. Ant\u00f3nio Bernardino de Almeida 865, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8698-866X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ramiro","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AquaValor\u2014Centro de Valoriza\u00e7\u00e3o e Transfer\u00eancia de Tecnologia da \u00c1gua, 5400-342 Chaves, Portugal"},{"name":"Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Science and Technology, Universidade de Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8434-4887","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frederico","family":"Branco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science and Technology, Universidade de Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Jiao, W., and Min, Q.
