Decomposition in tropical forests: a pan-tropical study of the effects of litter type, litter placement and mesofaunal exclusion across a precipitation gradient
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
1. Litter decomposition recycles nutrients and causes large fluxes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It is typically assumed that climate, litter quality and decomposer communities determine litter decay rates, yet ...

Analysis of hydroclimatic variability and trends using a novel empirical mode decomposition: Application to the Paraná River Basin
(American Geophysical Union, 2014-02)
The current understanding of hydroclimatic processes is largely based on time series analysis of observations such as river discharge. Although records of these variables are often nonlinear and nonstationary, they have ...
Analysis of inequality and energy-related CO2 emissions in Latin America and the Caribbean applying a Kaya factors decomposition methodology
(Universidad de los AndesIngeniería EléctricaFacultad de IngenieríaDepartamento de Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica, 2022-02-04)
This document is devoted to analyze the inequality in per capita CO2 emissions and energy-related CO2 emissions changes in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) during the period 1990-2018. To our best of knowledge, a ...
Expected impacts of climate change threaten the anuran diversity in the Brazilian hotspots
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-08-01)
We performed Ecological Niche Models (ENMs) to generate climatically suitable areas for anurans in the Brazilian hotspots, the Atlantic Forest (AF), and Cerrado (CER), considering the baseline and future climate change ...
Decomposition rates in Cueva de Los Guacharos National Park (Huila, Colombia)
(Universidad de los AndesBiologíaFacultad de CienciasDepartamento de Ciencias Biológicas, 2017)
Litter decomposition studies show no consensus about the hierarchy of factors that affect the process, probably because the most important factor is not the same across sites. Clarifying this issue is relevant since global ...
Eigendecomposition filtering and reconstruction of the climatic indexes for the Brazilian Northeast
(Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, 2018)
Effects of glacial influence on trophic function of benthic fauna in tropical high-Andean streams
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, 2014)
Glacial-fed stream features affect macroinvertebrate communities in both temperate and tropical streams. Alpine glacier-fed stream food chain present specific features, yet nothing is known about the organization of trophic ...
Analysis and decomposition of energy consumption in the chilean industry Análisis y Descomposición del Consumo de Energía en la Industria Chilena
(Universidad de Concepción.Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administrativas, 2014)
In a scenario of rising energy costs, global warming and climate change,
energy e ciency might play a central role to reduce the impact on the en-
vironment of industrial activities, while keeping the competitiveness of ...
Interações entre estrutura da vegetação e fertilidade do solo na decomposição da matéria orgânica em diferentes usos do solo
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Ambientais - PPGCAmCâmpus São Carlos, 2021-07-30)
Forests play a fundamental role in providing ecosystem functions and services. In particular, the relationship between forest and soil is an important link for ecosystem functioning and maintenance of services such as ...
