Agriculture expansion and deforestation in seasonally dry forests of north-west Argentina
(Cambridge University Press, 2005-12)
In Argentina, deforestation due to agriculture expansion is threatening the Semi-arid Chaco, one of the largest forested biomes of South America. This study focuses on the north-west boundary of the Argentine Semi-arid ...
Deforestation and cattle expansion in the Paraguayan Chaco 1987–2012
(2017-04)
The dry forests of Latin America are among the most dynamic deforestation frontiers in the world and are important carbon and biodiversity reservoirs. Our knowledge on the spatial patterns of deforestation and its proximate ...
The role of soybean production as an underlying driver of deforestation in the South American Chaco
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
South America's tropical dry forests and savannas are under increasing pressure from agricultural expansion. Cattle ranching and soybean production both drive these forest losses, but their relative importance remains ...
The role of soybean production as an underlying driver of deforestation in the South American Chaco
(2017-07)
South America’s tropical dry forests and savannas are under increasing pressure from agricultural expansion. Cattle ranching and soybean production both drive these forest losses, but their relative importance remains ...
Biodiversity loss in deforestation frontiers: Linking occupancy modelling and physiological stress indicators to understand local extinctions
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
Tropical deforestation is a main driver of the global biodiversity crisis. Impact assessments typically focus on species' presence, which means impacts are detected when local extinctions have occurred – and thus when it ...

The law is spider's web: an assessment of illegal deforestation in the Argentine dry Chaco ten years after the enactment of the “Forest Law”
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Deforestation control is one of the major challenges worldwide. The aim of this study was to analyse deforestation under the Forest Law in the Argentine Dry Chaco ecoregion a decade after its enactment and to assess ...
Assessing the effectiveness of a land zoning policy in the Dry Chaco: The Case of Santiago del Estero, Argentina
(Pergamon, 2018-01)
Land use zoning has been proposed as an instrument to steer sustainable land use and reduce deforestation. Its effectiveness is a growing concern among researchers and decision makers. Nowadays, the dry forests of the ...
EVI Time-Series Breakpoint Detection Using Convolutional Networks for Online Deforestation Monitoring in Chaco Forest
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-02)
The Dry Chaco Forest has the highest absolute deforestation rates of all Argentinian forests (current deforestation rate of 150 000 ha yr-1, 0.85% yr-1). The deforestation process is seen as a breakpoint in the enhanced ...
