Mechanism of long-term capillary water uptake in cementitious materials
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
Capillary imbibition or water uptake tests are practical and they satisfactorily describe the performance of cementitious materials. Most of these tests are performed for a short period (<1 week), however, additional water ...
Rhythm of change of trend-cycles of vegetation dynamics as an early warning indicator for land management
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
The use of time series of vegetation indices obtained from satellites has become a highly relevant source of data in studies of land degradation assessment and monitoring. However, information about future vegetation ...
Combining earth observations, cloud computing, and expert knowledge to inform national level degradation assessments in support of the 2030 development agenda
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-12-06)
Monitoring progress towards the 2030 Development Agenda requires the combination of traditional and new data sources in innovative workflows to maximize the generation of relevant information. We present the results of a ...
Climate in the Monte Desert: Past trends, present conditions, and future projections
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-02)
This paper documents the main features of climate and climate variability across the Monte Desert for the Last Glacial Maximum, the Glacial-Interglacial transition, and the Holocene on the basis of proxy records and for ...
Long-term satellite NDVI data sets: evaluating their ability to detect ecosystem functional changes in South America
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2008-09)
In the last decades, South American ecosystems underwent important functional modifications due to climate alterations and direct human intervention on land use and land cover. Among remotely sensed data sets, NOAA-AVHRR ...
Performance of alternative spatial models in empirical Douglas-fir and simulated datasets
(EDP Sciences, 2019-05-13)
Key message: Based on an empirical dataset originating from the French Douglas-fir breeding program, we showed that the bidimensional autoregressive and the two-dimensional P-spline regression spatial models clearly ...
Vegetation trends over eleven years on mountain summits in NW Argentina
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-12)
As global climate change leads to warmer and dryer conditions in the central Andes, alpine plant communities are forced to upward displacements following their climatic niche. Species range shifts are predicted to have ...
Historical trends of the ecotoxicological pesticide risk from the main grain crops in Rolling Pampa (Argentina)
(Public Library of Science, 2020-11)
We showed the results of the first long-term analysis (1987-2019) of pesticide (herbicides, fungicides and insecticides) impact in the Rolling Pampa, one of the main agricultural areas of Argentina. Using a clear and ...
Trends in the detection of aquatic non‐indigenous species across global marine, estuarine and freshwater ecosystems: A 50‐year perspective
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-10)
Aim: The introduction of aquatic non-indigenous species (ANS) has become a major driver for global changes in species biogeography. We examined spatial patterns and temporal trends of ANS detections since 1965 to inform ...
