Disentangling the multiple components of anuran diversity associated to different land-uses in Yungas forests, Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-10)
Natural habitats have drastically regressed due to rapid changes in land-use during recent decades, generating a decrease in species diversity. In light of natural habitat destruction worldwide, there is a need to adopt ...
Aligning landscape structure with ecosystem services along an urban–rural gradient. Trade-offs and transitions towards cultural services
(Springer, 2019-07)
Context: Urban–rural gradients provide a suitable framework for studying the provision of urban and rural ecosystem services (ES), linked to social welfare. Landscape structure (LS) changes along urban–rural gradients but ...
Land-use changes may explain the recent range expansion of the Black-shouldered Kite Elanus caeruleus in southern Europe
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-10)
Occasional observations of Black-shouldered Kites Elanus caeruleus in Europe date back to the mid-19th century, but it was only recorded as a breeding species in the early 1960s in Portugal and a few years later in ...
A multivariate approach to study drivers of land-cover changes through remote sensing in the dry Chaco of Argentina
(MDPI AG, 2018-05)
Land-cover changes are driven by different combinations of biophysical, economic, and cultural drivers that are acting at different scales. We aimed to (1) analyze trends in land use and land cover changes (conversion, ...
Deforestation and current management practices reduce soil organic carbon in the semi-arid Chaco, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
The soil is a fundamental component of the C cycle. Land use changes can alter the soil organic carbon (SOC) content, a key determinant of several regulation ecosystem services. Here, we analyzed the effects of land cover ...
Bird community responses to afforested eucalyptus plantations in the Argentine pampas
(2017-12)
Land-use change driven by human population growth and economic activity will continue to impact both natural habitats and land currently being used for food, fiber, and fuel production. The effects of this conversion on ...
Ten years of contested enforcement of the Forest Law in Salta, Argentina. The role of land-change science and political ecology
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019-07)
In this study, we present a critical account of the enforcement of the Forest Law in the Province of Salta, Argentina. We discuss whether the objectives of this law were accomplished and we analyze the role that some ...
Regional model simulations of the 2008 drought in southern South America using a consistent set of land surface properties
(American Meteorological Society, 2014-09)
This work discusses the land surface-atmosphere interactions during the severe drought that took place in 2008 in southern South America. The drought was among the most severe in the last fifty years both in terms of ...
Soil microbiological and biochemical changes as a consequence of land management and water erosion in a semiarid environment
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-07)
Three sites were selected for the present study: native forest (FR), anagricultural land subjected to minimum water erosion by terracing farming (ARMN), and an agricultural land subjected to moderate water erosion without ...
