Agrohydrological analysis of groundwater recharge and land use changes in the Pampas of Argentina
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
This paper studies the changes of groundwater, climate and land use in the Pampas of Argentina. These changes
offer opportunities and threats. Lowering groundwater without irrigation causes drought and successive crop
and ...
Roads and land tenure mediate the effects of precipitation on forest cover change in the Argentine Dry Chaco
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
Dry forests are among the most threatened ecosystems globally, due to agricultural expansion driven by the increasing demand for food, fibers, and energy in developed and emerging countries. Among these, the forests of the ...
Agricultural intensification and changes in cultivated areas, 1970–2005
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009-11)
Does the intensification of agriculture reduce cultivated areas and, in so doing, spare some lands by concentrating production on other lands? Such sparing is important for many reasons, among them the enhanced abilities ...
Economics of land degradation in Argentina
(Springer, 2015)
Argentina is one of the countries with a vibrant agricultural sector, which provides both economic development opportunities and environmental challenges. Argentina was selected as a case study due to its rich land degradation ...
Fire-Mediated Forest Encroachment in Response to Climatic and Land-Use Change in Subtropical Andean Treelines
(Springer, 2010-11)
We used dendroecological techniques to analyze the effects of rainfall and grazing on fire regime and its implications for tree regeneration in subtropical mountains of northwestern Argentina during the 20th century, a ...
Land system science and sustainable development of the earth system: a global land project perspective
(Elsevier, 2015-12)
Land systems are the result of human interactions with the natural environment. Understanding the drivers, state, trends and impacts of different land systems on social and natural processes helps to reveal how changes in ...
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 ...
