The disappearing desert and the emergence of agropastoralism: An adaptive cycle of rapid change in the mid-Holocene Lake Titicaca Basin (Peru–Bolivia)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-11)
The mid-Holocene was an extremely dry period in the Lake Titicaca Basin of South America, when lake levels were at their lowest point in the Holocene. South of the lake, a lack of outflow and very low and irregular ...

This work shows the results of a series of recently conducted archaeometric studies (camelid skeletal remains nitrogen, carbon and strontium isotopes analysis, and silicophytoliths and starches analysis to sediment recovered ...
The emergence of agropastoralism: Accelerated ecocultural change on the Andean altiplano, ∼3540-3120 cal BP
(Maney Publishing, 2015-02)
In the fourth millennium BP, there were major environmental and cultural changes on the Andean altiplano of South America, but the chronology remains vague. A recent synthesis describes a slow, gradual transition from ...
Evaluation of the design effects of different agropastoral systems on the diversity and density of spiders
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2017)
Sustainable agro-ecological design is challenging when the goal is self-regulation of the system. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the agropastoral design system affects the spider community, as spiders are ...

Traditionally, cereal crop harvest residues are communally grazed by the ruminant herds of villagers and transhumant pastoralists in the agro-pastoral systems which predominate in the savannah zone of West Africa. We ...
Soil quality in sustainable agricultural production systems
(2021-06-11)
The adoption of sustainable agricultural production systems is important to increase/maintain the chemical, physical and biological fertility of the soil. Among these systems we have the no-tillage, agropastoral and ...
