Effect of land use intensification on specialization in plant–floral visitor interaction networks in the Pampas of Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2014-04)
Land use intensification reduces natural areas and alters landscape heterogeneity diminishing species richness and changing ecosystem functionality. The analysis of interaction networks is a useful tool for estimating the ...
Global environmental change effects on ecosystems: The importance of land-use legacies
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-04)
One of the major challenges in ecology is to predict how multiple global environmental changes will affect future ecosystem patterns (e.g. plant community composition) and processes (e.g. nutrient cycling). Here, we highlight ...
A global assessment of amphibian and reptile responses to land-use changes
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Human land-use changes represent the most important drivers of biodiversity loss, and amphibians and reptiles represent the most threatened groups of vertebrates globally. However, today there is a general lack of knowledge ...
Nutrient Concentrations in a Pampasic First Order Stream with Different Land Uses in the Surrounding Plots (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
(Springer, 2013-08-21)
The objective of this study was to assess the effect of land use on nutrient concentrations in a Pampasic stream. Soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations in the stream were higher at a site surrounded by fertilized ...

Land Change in the Greater Antilles between 2001 and 2010
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2013-03)
Land change in the Greater Antilles differs markedly among countries because of varying socioeconomic histories and global influences. We assessed land change between 2001 and 2010 in municipalities (second administrative ...
Agricultural intensification and changes in cultivated areas, 1970–2005
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009-11)
Does the intensification of agriculture reduce cultivated areas and, in so doing, spare some lands by concentrating production on other lands? Such sparing is important for many reasons, among them the enhanced abilities ...
Linking hydrological, infinite slope stability and land-use change models through GIS for assessing the impact of deforestation on slope stability in high Andean watersheds
(2003-06-16)
In the Ecuadorian Andes, episodic slope movements comprising shallow rotational and translational slides and rapid flows of debris and soil material are common. Consequently, not only considerable financial costs are ...
