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 ...
Environmental predictors of forest change: An analysis of natural predisposition to deforestation in the tropical Andes region, Peru
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018-02)
The spatial patterns of deforestation are usually non-randomly distributed across the landscape. While anthropogenically driven processes are often addressed in land-use regulation policies and deforestation research, less ...
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 ...
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 ...

Introduction: The Brazilian atlantic forest
(2000-12-01)
The year 2000 marks 500 years of massive destruction for the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, as a consequence of the European colonization of Brazil. Today, the Atlantic Forest is restricted to ca 98,800 km2 of remnants, or 7.6 ...
Functional differentiation between fish assemblages from forested and deforested streams
(2015-01-01)
We tested the hypothesis that streams in deforested areas shelter different fish communities to nearby forested areas, and that these disparities are due to environmental parameters that limit or benefit different species ...
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 ...
Effects of roads, topography, and land use on forest cover dynamics in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)
Roads and topography can determine patterns of land use and distribution of forest cover, particularly in tropical regions. We evaluated how road density, land use, and topography affected forest fragmentation, deforestation ...
