Does the topographic distribution of the central Andean Puna Plateau result from climatic or geodynamic processes?
(Geological Society of America, 2009-07)
Orogenic plateaus are extensive, high-elevation areas with low internal relief that have been attributed to deep-seated and/or climate-driven surface processes. In the latter case, models predict that lateral plateau growth ...
Modeling forest site productivity using climate data and topographic imagery in Pinus elliottii plantations of central Argentina
(EDP Sciences, 2020-10)
Context: Predicting tree growth and yield is a key component to sustainable forest management and depends on accurate measures of site quality. Aims: The aim of this study was to develop both empirical models to predict ...
The influence of riverine barriers, climate, and topography on the biogeographic regionalization of Amazonian anurans
(2018-12-01)
We evaluated five non-mutually exclusive hypotheses driving the biogeographic regions of anuran species in the Amazonia. We overlaid extent-of-occurrence maps for anurans 50 × 50 km cells to generate a presence-Absence ...
Statistical Analysis of Topographic and Climatic Controls and Multispectral Signatures of Rock Glaciers in the Dry Andes, Chile (278–338S)
(John Wiley, 2010)
The dual nature of rock glaciers as ice-rich mountain permafrost and sediment storage systems results in a combination
of geomorphic processes and energy balance components controlling their distribution. We use the ...
Potential biodiversity map of lizard species in Southern Patagonia: Environmental characterization, desertification influence and analyses of protection areas
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2018-11)
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 ...
Using a crop simulation model to select the optimal climate grid cell resolution: a study case in araucan a region
(SOC CHILENA CIENCIA SUELO, 2014)
Crop models are sensitivi by the climatic spatial scale for performing thesimulation. Several crop simulation studies use mesoescale climate database (20-50 km), where topography is neglected. We develop a method to select ...
Statistical analysis on the performance of global and regional climate models for the Paute river basin in the south-ecuadorian andes
(TuTech Innovation, 2012)
Climate change impact in the Andes regions is expected to have a large influence on water resources as in many other regions of the world. However, a major problem for climate change impact studies on the region is the ...
Differential speciation rates, colonization time and niche conservatism affect community assembly across adjacent biogeographical regions
(2021-01-01)
Aim: To test the importance of evolutionary and biogeographical processes in shaping the assembly of local frog communities in two adjacent regions (hereafter, coastal and inland regions) with different historical signatures. ...
Correlação espacial entre a altitude e as precipitaç ões pluviométricas no estado de São Paulo
(2007-12-01)
The rain occurrence is one of the most important phenomena to determinate the climate and, as most of the other climatic phenomena, shows a continuous spatial variability that can be detected through special geostatistical ...
