Approach to assess agroecosystem anthropic disturbance: Statistical monitoring based on earthworm populations and edaphic properties
(Elsevier Science, 2020-04)
Land degradation due to anthropic factors is the reduction of its actual or potential productivity. Nowadays, this topic is a major concern, as it affects more than one third of the soil in the world. This work presents ...
Tractor performance and corn crop development as a function of furrow opener and working depth in a Red Latosol
(2015-01-01)
To use a no-tillage system, the producer must know the ideal tool for each condition encountered in the soil. In seeding, the function of the furrow opener is loosening and disturbing the soil, but if the opener lacks the ...
Soil disturbance, vegetation cover and the establishment of the exotic shrub Pyracantha coccinea in southern France
(Springer, 2010-02)
We evaluate the mechanisms that determine the establishment of the non-indigenous shrub Pyracantha coccinea (Rosaceae) in the Montpellier region of southern France. P. coccinea establishes in abandoned agricultural fields ...
Multidecadal change in streamflow associated with anthropogenic disturbances in the tropical Andes
(2015)
Andean headwater catchments are an important source of freshwater for downstream water users. However, few long-term studies exist on the relative importance of climate change and direct anthropogenic perturbations on flow ...
Huracán Mitch: propuesta de proyectos regionales para la rehabilitación y reconstrucción del sector agropecuario centroamericano
(Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura (IICA), 1999-02)
El presente documento contiene los siguientes temas: un resumen de la importancia de la agricultura centroamericana y su vulnerabilidad ante los fenómenos climatológicos, una valoración cuantitativa y cualitativa de los ...
Vegetation of Patagonia
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2020)
In this chapter, we describe the major phytogeographic provinces of Patagonia. Emphasis is placed on physiognomic vegetation formations, internal heterogeneity, and degree of anthropic disturbance. Main vegetation formations ...
Vegetation changes after 15 years of abandonment of crop fields in the Pampas region (Argentina)
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal, 2010)
Antarctic shallow subtidal echinoderms: Is the ecological success of broadcasters related to ice disturbance?
(2007)
One characteristic pattern found in the marine Antarctic shallow environments is the unusually high proportion of species with protected and pelagic lecitotrophic development modes. However, species with planktotrophic ...
Land use intensification differentially benefits alien over native predators in agricultural landscape mosaics
(2013)
Aim: Both anthropogenic habitat disturbance and the breadth of habitat use by alien species have been found to facilitate invasion into novel environments, and these factors have been hypothesized to be important within ...
