Agricultural land-use intensity and its effects on small mammals in the central region of Argentina
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015-10)
Agriculture intensification is one of the main threats to biodiversity in agricultural systems. The effectiveness of conservation strategies in these systems depends mainly on the compromise between biodiversity conservation ...
Regional variability of volcanic ash soils in south Ecuador: the relation with parent material, climate and land use
(2007)
The high Andes region of south Ecuador is characterised by intense land use changes. These changes affect particularly the páramo, which is a collection of high altitudinal grassland ecosystems. In this region, the interaction ...
Estimating the world's potentially available cropland using a bottom-up approach
(Elsevier, 2013-10)
Previous estimates of the land area available for future cropland expansion relied on global-scale climate, soil and terrain data. They did not include a range of constraints and tradeoffs associated with land conversion. ...
Multi-temporal analysis of land use land cover interference in environmental fragility in a Mesozoic basin, southeastern Brazil
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-02-01)
Changes in land use land cover without proper planning cause several adverse environmental impacts on hydrographic basins. Mapping these dynamics is a key tool to understand the rapid changes in landscapes that directly ...
Land use intensity and cropping sequence effects on aggregate stability and C storage in a Vertisol and a Mollisol
(2013)
The relevant change in land use duemainly to the rapid expansion of soybean cropping towards areas traditionally
occupied for livestock purposes or with native grasslands of South America may have negative consequences
on ...
Ecological and social consequences of the Forest Transition Theory as applied to the Argentinean Great Chaco
(Elsevier, 2016-02)
Forest transition is the change from net deforestation to net reforestation. According to the Forest Transition Theory (FTT) in its original form, reforestation is triggered by the last stage of socio-economic development, ...
SURFACE HEAT ISLANDS: FREQUENCY OF SPATIAL INTENSITY AND VARIABILITY IN A CITY WITH A CONTINENTAL TROPICAL CLIMATE
(Univ Estado Rio Janeiro, 2019-01-01)
The purpose of this article was to analyze the spatial distribution of target temperatures and the frequency of surface heat island intensities in areas with characteristics relating to land use, vegetation cover, densities ...
How may deforestation rates and political instruments affect land use patterns and Carbon emissions in the semi-arid Chaco, Argentina?
(Pergamon, 2020-12)
In the last decades, dry Chaco forests experienced both intensive deforestation and land use changes. The intensification of deforestation at the national level led to the enactment of the National Forest Law (N° 26.331) ...
Land use intensity indirectly affects ecosystem services mainly through plant functional identity in a temperate forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-05)
Land‐use change is known to affect biodiversity, and there is increasing concern regarding how these changes may impact the provision of ecosystem services. Although functional composition (diversity and identity) could ...
