Desalination of brackish water for household drinking water consumption using typical plant seeds of semi arid regions
(2011)
The goal of this work was to study the salt sorption capacity of biological materials, such as seeds from several different plant species typical of semi arid regions, and their use in the desalination of brackish water ...
Aridity and grazing as convergent selective forces: an experiment with an Arid Chaco bunchgrass
(Wiley, 2010-10)
It has been proposed that aridity and grazing are convergent selective forces: each one selects for traits conferring resistance to both. However, this conceptual model has not yet been experimentally validated. The aim ...

Polyculture in the semi-arid regions of Brazil
(2013)
The previsions say that the semiarid regions in the world are between the most impacted by the global climate change. In Brazil, among the environmental (lost of biodiversity, extreme droughts), social

Rodent middens, a new method for Quaternary research in arid zones of South America Paleomadrigueras de roedores, un nuevo método para el estudio del Cuaternario en zonas áridas de Sudamérica
(2002)
In arid and semi-arid regions of South America, historical evidence for climate and vegetation change is scarce despite its importance for determining reference conditions and rates of natural variability in areas susceptible ...
Seed oil content and fatty acid profiles of five Euphorbiaceae species from arid regions in Argentina with potential as biodiesel source
(Cambridge University Press, 2011-03)
Five Euphorbiaceae species (Jatropha macrocarpa, J. hieronymi, J. excisa, Cnidoscolus tubulosus and Manihot guaranitica) were analysed for seed oil content and fatty acid profiles in order to evaluate their potential as ...
Mapping and monitoring Lakes Intra-Annual variability in semi-arid regions: A case of study in Patagonian Plains (Argentina)
(MDPI AG, 2018-07-03)
In arid and semi-arid regions, the climatic impact on lakes is especially critical, as they are scarce and play an important role as a primary source of the water supply. However, in some extended regions with those climatic ...
Nitrogen limitation in arid-subhumid ecosystems: A meta-analysis of fertilization studies
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-08)
Evidence supporting water limitation in arid-semiarid ecosystems includes strong correlations between aboveground net primary production (ANPP) and annual precipitation as well as results from experimental water additions. ...
