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 ...
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 ...
Can rural tourism stimulate biodiversity conservation and influence farmer's management decisions?
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-12)
The Pampean agroecosystems are oriented to providing a few Ecosystem Services (ES) with undesired consequences on the environment, particularly the loss of biodiversity and cultural ES. In this context, it is necessary to ...
Assessing the performance of the existing and proposed network of marine protected areas to conserve marine biodiversity in Chile
(Elsevier, 2009-12)
The growing concern about the profound influence of human activities on marine ecosystems has been the driving force behind the creation of marine reserves in the last few decades. With almost 4200 km of coastline, Chile ...
Pollination in socio-agroecosystems: Recommendations to preserve the diversity of pollinators
(The Society of Plan Reproductive Biologists, 2020-01)
Pollinators play a crucial role in human well-being, as they contribute to pollination of many crops and influence plant reproduction and biodiversity conservation of native plants. There is a gradual disappearance of major ...
Co-benefits of soil carbon protection for invertebrate conservation
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
The global decline in invertebrate diversity requires urgent conservation interventions. However, identifying priority conservation areas for invertebrates remains a significant challenge. We hypothesized that aligning the ...
Natural grasslands in the Chaco. A neglected ecosystem under threat by agriculture expansion and forest-oriented conservation policies
(Elsevier, 2015-12)
In most tropical and subtropical biomes, conservation strategies are mainly focused on the preservation of forests. However, neotropical dry forest and savanna ecoregions include open habitats that may deserve conservation ...
Soil carbon is a useful surrogate for conservation planning in developing nations
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-03)
Defining the optimal placement of areas for biodiversity conservation in developing nations remains a significant challenge. Our best methods for spatially targeting potential locations for biodiversity conservation rely ...
Soil carbon is a useful surrogate for conservation planning in developing nations
(Nature Research, 2019-03)
Defining the optimal placement of areas for biodiversity conservation in developing nations remains a significant challenge. Our best methods for spatially targeting potential locations for biodiversity conservation rely ...
Avifaunal inventory of northern Entre Ríos, Argentina: noteworthy records and conservation prospects
(Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales Bernardino Rivadavia, 2018)
Biodiversity inventories remain fundamental tools for biodiversity conservation. Neotropical biota has poor faunal inventories. In Argentina, the avifauna of the province of Entre Ríos is still not well known. Here, we ...
