Vegetation change and land tenure in Mexico: A country-wide analysis
(Pergamon, 2013-01)
There is an ongoing debate on the effect different property regimes have on the use of natural resources and land conversion (i.e., deforestation or reforestation). Much of the discussion has been centered on the two main ...
Temporally-Consistent Annual Land Cover from Landsat Time Series in the Southern Cone of South America
(MDPI, 2022-08)
The impact of land cover change across the planet continues to necessitate accurate methods to detect and monitor evolving processes from satellite imagery. In this context, regional and global land cover mapping over time ...
Land cover changes and ecosystem services at the Negro River Basin, Argentina: what is missing for better assessing nature’s contribution?
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-03)
Ecosystem services are critical to sustaining human activity on freshwater systems since food, energy, and water provision directly depends on them. Identifying and monitoring ecosystem services can contribute to a better ...
Effect of land use on the phytoplankton community of Pampean shallow lakes of the Salado River basin (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina)
(Springer, 2021-06)
The Salado River basin, Buenos Aires, Argentina, contains numerous permanent shallow lakes under anthropic pressure due to different land uses/land covers (LULC) in their catchments. Here, we explored the relation of LULC ...
Assessment of the effectiveness of supervised and unsupervised methods: maximizing land-cover classification accuracy with spectral indices data
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2019-01-14)
This study is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of different supervised and unsupervised methods with information derived from Landsat satellite images and fieldwork in order to maximize the land cover classification ...
A multivariate approach to study drivers of land-cover changes through remote sensing in the dry Chaco of Argentina
(MDPI AG, 2018-05)
Land-cover changes are driven by different combinations of biophysical, economic, and cultural drivers that are acting at different scales. We aimed to (1) analyze trends in land use and land cover changes (conversion, ...
Ecosystem loss assessment following hydroelectric dam flooding: The case of Yacyretá, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
The Yacyretá dam is one of the most important hydroelectric projects in La Plata Basin. As a consequence of the filling of the reservoir to its final height of 83m, approximately 1,076km2 of terrestrial and riparian ...
Agriculture adjustment, land-use transition and protected areas in Northwestern Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-02)
Land-use change is the main component of regional environmental change, while protected areas represent a direct land use policy to prevent its potentially negative effects on biodiversity and environmental services. We ...
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 ...
Roads and land tenure mediate the effects of precipitation on forest cover change in the Argentine Dry Chaco
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
Dry forests are among the most threatened ecosystems globally, due to agricultural expansion driven by the increasing demand for food, fibers, and energy in developed and emerging countries. Among these, the forests of the ...
