Survey-based modeling of land-use intensity in agricultural frontiers of the Argentine dry Chaco
(Pergamon, 2019-11)
The rise of large-scale farms in modern-day agricultural frontiers has frequently displaced and fragmented smallholder farming due to an unbalanced competition for land and water resources. A better understanding of land-use ...
Land cover changes and ecosystem services at the Negro River Basin, Argentina: what is missing for better assessing nature’s contribution?
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-03)
Ecosystem services are critical to sustaining human activity on freshwater systems since food, energy, and water provision directly depends on them. Identifying and monitoring ecosystem services can contribute to a better ...
Spatial and temporal patterns of soil salinization in shallow groundwater environments of the Bahía Blanca Estuary: Influence of topography and land use
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021-12-04)
Soil salinization is considered an environmental threat as high salt content hinders plant growth.Soil salinity is usually associated with climate aridity at a regional scale, while topography,subsurface hydrology and land ...
Land use changes and sediment yield on a hilly watershed in Central-East Argentina
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2015-07)
Watershed management strategies need suitable techniques to be available in order to quantify sediment yield, among other relevant issues. The aim of this work was to estimate the sediment yield on a hilly watershed, for ...
Greenhouse gas inventories: Deriving soil organic carbon change factors and assessing soil depth relevance in Argentinean Semiarid Chaco
(Elsevier Science, 2018-06-02)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the main terrestrial carbon (C) reservoir. Land use change has depleted SOC stocks and released large amounts of C dioxide (CO2). Thus, the development of reliable tools for SOC stock monitoring ...
Assessing land use and land cover change in Los Molinos reservoir watershed and the effect on the reservoir water quality
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-06-23)
Understanding and modelling land use and land cover (LULC) change have become one of the major subjects of interest for environmental management due to the negative effects that human activities generate on the normal ...
Land use intensity and cropping sequence effects on aggregate stability and C storage in a Vertisol and a Mollisol
(2013)
The relevant change in land use duemainly to the rapid expansion of soybean cropping towards areas traditionally
occupied for livestock purposes or with native grasslands of South America may have negative consequences
on ...
Future scenarios of land use change in the Gran Chaco: how far is zero deforestation?
(Springer, 2022-09-12)
The Gran Chaco (Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil) has turned into a global deforestation hotspot as a consequence of the agricultural expansion. These land use changes can lead to large socio-ecological conflicts. ...
Ecosystem loss assessment following hydroelectric dam flooding: The case of Yacyretá, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
The Yacyretá dam is one of the most important hydroelectric projects in La Plata Basin. As a consequence of the filling of the reservoir to its final height of 83m, approximately 1,076km2 of terrestrial and riparian ...
Genetic variability in populations of the terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare living in soils with different land uses
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018-11)
The Argentine Pampas region is recognized by its high productivity and fertility, which make its soils suitable for agricultural use. However, the intensification of agricultural activities over the last forty years has ...
