Ecohydrological transformation in the Dry Chaco and the risk of dryland salinity: Following Australia's footsteps?
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017-06)
During the last century, the massive conversion of Australian dry forests to crops and pastures triggered the massive soil and groundwater degradation process known as dryland salinity. Currently, South American Chaco's ...
Assessing the distribution and conservation status of a long-horned beetle with species distribution models
(2016-08-01)
Data shortfalls on species distribution affect species differently, but it is frequent among insects. Species distribution models (SDMs) are important tools to fill biogeographic deficits and provide support for practical ...
Phellinus piptadeniae (Hymenochaetales: Hymenochaetaceae): taxonomy and host range of a species with disjunct distribution in South American seasonally dry forests
(Springer, 2015-08-01)
Phellinus piptadeniae (Hymenochaetaceae, Hymenochaetales) as currently accepted is characterized by having applanate to ungulate basidiome with the pilear surface concentrically sulcate, radially cracked in old specimens, ...
Thresholds in forest bird communities along woody vegetation gradients in the South American Dry Chaco
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-02-11)
World-wide, tropical savannas and dry forests are under increasing pressure from land use. The environmental impacts of agricultural expansion into these ecosystems have received much attention, yet subtler changes in ...
Expansion of the agricultural frontier in the largest South American Dry Forest: Identifying priority conservation areas for snakes before everything is lost
(Public Library of Science, 2019-09-10)
Conservation planning relies on integrating existing knowledge, social-environmental contexts, and potential threats to identify gaps and opportunities for action. Here we present a case study on how priority areas for ...
Climate-growth relationships for Aspidosperma tomentosum Mart. in South American tropical dry forests
(EDP Sciences, 2020-12)
The precise demarcation and cross-dating of tree rings inAspidosperma tomentosumMart., a valuable timber species in the tropical dry forests of South America, were used to develop the first well-replicated chronology ...
A relict new species of Oreobates (Anura, Strabomantidae) from the Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and its implication to the biogeography of the genus and that of South American Dry Forests
(MAGNOLIA PRESSAUCKLAND, 2012)
A new species of Oreobates is described from Cavernas do Peruacu National Park, Januaria, Minas Gerais state, in the Atlantic Dry Forests of Brazil. The new species is distinguished from all other Oreobates by having the ...
The distribution of woody legumes in neotropical dry forests: The pleistocene arc theory 20 years on
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-12)
The Pleistocene Arc Theory (PAT) suggests that present-day disjunct fragments of dry forests in central tropical South America give evidence of a previously more continuous distribution during the Pleistocene that has been ...
A Checklist Of Woody Leguminosae In The South American Corridor Of Dry Vegetation
(MAGNOLIA PRESSAUCKLAND, 2015)
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 ...
