The coupling of South American soybean and cattle production frontiers: new challenges for conservation policy and land change science
(Wiley, 2014-08)
Different drivers and places of land use change in South America have often been studied in isolation. Evidence suggests, however, that in many instances, both places and drivers are becoming increasingly interconnected. ...
Effects of land use on environmental conditions and macrophytes in prairie lotic ecosystems
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2012-07)
Fluvial hydrosystems are environments with large landscape to water surface ratio and therefore particularly vulnerable to changes in land use. We analysed the connection of environmental conditions in 31 prairie streams ...
Beyond pastures, look at plastic: Using Sentinel-2 imagery to map silage bags to improve understanding of cattle intensity
(Elsevier, 2023-01-10)
Cattle ranching has increased globally in the last decades, and although pasture expansion is well documented across different regions, there is little understanding of the intensity at which cattle operate in these areas. ...
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 ...
Low-carbon agriculture in South America to mitigate global climate change and advance food security
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-01-01)
The worldwide historical carbon (C) losses due to Land Use and Land-Use Change between 1870 and 2014 are estimated at 148 Pg C (1 Pg = 1 billion ton). South America is chosen for this study because its soils contain 10.3% ...
Agriculture and Cattle Frontier Advance and Variation of Poverty in the North of the "Gran Chaco Argentino" during the 1990s
(Selbstverlag des Geographisches Instituts der Universität Kiel, 2012-12)
The “Gran Chaco Argentino” (GCA) is the major extension of forest and the major bi- omass reserve of the country and the extra tropical south hemisphere. During the 1990s this region underwent an intense process of change ...
