Pasture area and landscape heterogeneity are key determinants of bird diversity in intensively managed farmland
(Springer, 2011-11)
Agriculture intensification has drastically altered farmland mosaics, while semi-natural grasslands have been considerably reduced and fragmented. Bird declines in northern temperate latitudes are attributed to habitat ...
Crop proximity index for monitoring of peri-urban land use in agro-industrial crop regions
(Elsevier, 2020-07-01)
The agro-industrial production of genetically modified organisms uses great amounts of pesticides, close to cities, which generates growing concern due to the numerous evidence of their negative effects on health and the ...
Agricultural impact assessment and management after three widespread tephra falls in Patagonia, South America
(Springer, 2016-06)
Agricultural production is often concentrated in volcanically active or previously active areas where weathered volcanic products form fertile soils. However, this proximity means agriculture is exposed to tephra fall ...
Diet Variation of a Generalist Predator, the American Kestrel Falco sparverius, in a Gradient of Agricultural Intensification in Central Argentina
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Museum and Institute of Zoology, 2021-03-20)
Agricultural expansion at the expense of natural habitats and the intensification processes in agricultural production are globally among the main causes of biodiversity and ecosystem services loss at large scale. This ...

Influence of edaphic and management factors on soils aggregates stability under no-tillage in Mollisols and Vertisols of the Pampa Region, Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2021-05)
In the highly fertile and productive soils of the Pampa Region of Argentina, constraints on soil water regime as a consequence of the decline in aggregates stability and the development of platy structures, are observed. ...
Evaluating the Impact of Post-Emergence Weed Control in Honeybee Colonies Located in Different Agricultural Surroundings
(MDPI, 2021-02)
The honeybee Apis mellifera is exposed to agricultural intensification, which leads to an improved reliance upon pesticide use and the reduction of floral diversity. In the present study, we assess the changes in the colony ...
Going beyond energy intensity to understand the energy metabolism of nations: The case of Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012-01)
The link between energy consumption and economic growth has been widely studied in the economic literature. Understanding this relationship is important from both an environmental and a socio-economic point of view, as ...
Land-use changes in the periurban interface: Hydrologic consequences on a flatland-watershed scale
(Elsevier Science, 2020-06)
The aim of this work was to analyze the hydrologic effects on surface runoff and infiltration of changes in land use and land coverage. The periurban-flatland watershed of El Pescado Creek (Argentina) was the study site ...
