Carbon emissions from agricultural expansion and intensification in the Chaco
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-05)
Carbon emissions from land-use changes in tropical dry forest systems are poorly understood, although they are likely globally significant. The South American Chaco has recently emerged as a hot spot of agricultural expansion ...
Globalization and land-use transitions in Latin America
(Resilience Alliance, 2008-12)
Current socioeconomic drivers of land-use change associated with globalization are producing two contrasting land-use trends in Latin America. Increasing global food demand (particularly in Southeast Asia) accelerates ...
Deforestation impacts on soil organic carbon stocks in the Semiarid Chaco Region, Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2017-01)
Land use change affects soil organic carbon (SOC) and generates CO2 emissions. Moreover, SOC depletion entails degradation of soil functions that support ecosystem services. Large areas covered by dry ...
Land privatization and deforestation in a commodity production frontier
(John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2021-02)
Conservation policies often promote land privatization to reduce incentives for deforestation. However, empirical evidence on the relationship between land-tenure form and forest conservation outcomes is inconclusive. We ...
Gone with the forest: Assessing global woodpecker conservation from land use patterns
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-05)
As a result of their ecological traits, woodpeckers (Picidae, Aves) are highly sensitive to forest cover change. We explored the current land cover in areas of high species richness of woodpeckers to determinate regions ...
Fading opportunities for mitigating agriculture-environment trade-offs in a south American deforestation hotspot
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
Strong trade-offs between agriculture and the environment occur in deforestation frontiers, particularly in the world's rapidly disappearing tropical and subtropical dry forests. Pathways to mitigate these trade-offs are ...
REDD+ en Latinoamérica: el caso de Perú
(Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Austral de Chile, 2013)
La cuestión de cómo los países en vías de desarrollo como el Perú pueden participar efectivamente en el marco REDD+ (reducción de emisiones de la deforestación y degradación de bosques) de las Naciones Unidas ha sido el ...
Seguimiento de la deforestación del bosque nativo en el departamento de Iguazú (Misiones, Argentina): Período 1985 - 2018Monitoring of the deforestation of the native forest in the department of Iguazú (Misiones, Argentina): Period 1985 – 2018
(Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco. Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales. Instituto de Investigaciones Geográficas de la Patagonia, 2020-09)
Los bosques nativos brindan a la humanidad un gran número de servicios económicos, sociales y ambientales, los cuales se ven amenazados por los intensos procesos de deforestación a los que están sometidos a nivel mundial. ...
Long-term reduction of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in sylvatic mammals following deforestation and sustained vector surveillance in northwestern Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2006-07)
Long-term variations in the dynamics and intensity of sylvatic transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi were investigated around eight rural villages in the semiarid Argentine Chaco in 2002-2004 and compared to data collected ...
Watershed Deforestation and Down-Estuary Transformations Alter Sources, Transport, and Export of Suspended Particles in Panamanian Mangrove Estuaries
(Springer, 2014-01)
We identified eight Panamanian watersheds in which conversion from wet tropical forest to pastures differed and assessed the effects of degree of deforestation, and down-estuary transformations, on the suspended particulate ...
