The natural salt meadows of Tilopozo in the hyperarid, Atacama Desert of northern Chile, which are located at approximately 2800 m above sea level, are under pressure from industrial activity, and cultivation and grazing ...

This work discusses the land surface-atmosphere interactions during the severe drought that took place in 2008 in southern South America. The drought was among the most severe in the last fifty years both in terms of ...

Regional land-atmosphere feedbacks play an important role in the occurrence of extremes in southern South America. However, they are not fully understood. Currently, many atmospheric models have simplified land surface ...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) were used to predict landings of anchovy (Engraulis ringens), common sardine (Strangomera bentincki), and jack mackerel (Trachurus murphyi) in central-southern Chile. Twelve environmental ...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are adjusted to predict monthly landings of anchovy (Engraulis ringens) and sardine (Sardinops sagax) in northern Chile (18 degrees 21'-24 degrees 00'S). Fishing effort (FE), landings and ...

Scientists predict that global agricultural lands will expand over the next few decades due to increasing demands for food production and an exponential increase in crop-based biofuel production. These changes in land use ...

Artificial neural networks are adjusted to predict monthly landings of anchovy (Engraulis ringens) and sardine (Sardinops sagax) in northern Chile (18°21´S-24°S). Fishing effort (fe), landings and twelve environmental ...

Latent heat flux equivalent to Evapotranspiration (ET) is the total amount of water lost via transpiration and evaporation from plant surfaces and the soil in an area where a crop is growing. Since 80-90% of precipitation ...
