Biodiversity potential of Nothofagus forests in Tierra del Fuego (Argentina): tool proposal for regional conservation planning
(2016-09)
It is difficult to map and quantify biodiversity at landscape level in areas with low data availability, despite demand from decision-makers. We propose a methodology to determine potential biodiversity pattern using habitat ...
Linking potential biodiversity and three ecosystem services in silvopastoral managed forest landscapes of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-04)
Several studies confirm that biodiversity loss endangers ecosystem services (ES) supply and human well-being. A better understanding of biodiversity–ES relationships and effects of biodiversity loss on ES supply is needed. ...
Drivers of biodiversity loss in freshwater environments: A bibliometric analysis of the recent literature
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021-07)
Species are disappearing at a rate comparable with previous mass extinctions. Freshwater environments are being particularly affected, with biodiversity losses occurring much faster in freshwater than in terrestrial or ...
Biodiversity and the challenge of pluralism
(Nature Research, 2021-06)
The lack of progress in reversing the declining global trend in biodiversity is partly due to a mismatch between how living nature is conceived and valued by the conservation movement on the one hand, and by many different ...
Biodiversity of Andean potatoes: Morphological, nutritional and functional characterization
(Elsevier, 2018-01)
Andean potatoes (Solanum tuberosum andigenum) are a staple food for Andean population; there is great biodiversity but only few varieties are cultivated nowadays. In order to contribute to biodiversity conservation of ...
Linking the influence and dependence of people on biodiversity across scales
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-06-01)
Biodiversity enhances many of nature?s benefits to people, including the regulation of climate and the production of woodin forests, livestock forage in grasslands and fish in aquatic ecosystems. Yet people are now driving ...
Potential biodiversity map of lizard species in Southern Patagonia: environmental characterization, desertification influence and analyses of protection areas
(2018)
The distribution of biodiversity at the landscape level is shaped by biotic, abiotic and anthropogenic factors. Biodiversity maps provide the basis for defining management and conservation strategies that can minimize human ...
Quantifying the impacts of ecological restoration on biodiversity and ecosystem services in agroecosystems: A global meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2015-04)
Landscape transformation due to agriculture affects more than 40% of the planet’s land area and is the most important driver of losses of biodiversity and ecosystem services (ES) worldwide. Ecological restoration may ...
Predicting current and future global distribution of invasive Ligustrum lucidum W.T. Aiton: Assessing emerging risks to biodiversity hotspots
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-06)
Aim: Biological invasions represent one of the main anthropogenic drivers of global change with a substantial impact on biodiversity. This impact can be particularly acute in biodiversity hotspots. Ligustrum lucidum W.T. ...
Identifying high priority conservation areas for Patagonian wetlands biodiversity
(Springer, 2021-03)
Given the multiple stressors affecting freshwater ecosystems and the limited resources devoted to their management, effective conservation of freshwater biodiversity requires regional prioritization. Patagonian wetlands ...
