Land-use redistribution compensated for ecosystem service losses derived from agriculture expansion, with mixed effects on biodiversity in a NW Argentina Watershed
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2017-08)
Areas of land abandonment and agriculture expansion usually differ in location and associated environmental characteristics; thus, land-use redistribution affects the provision of ecosystem services and biodiversity ...
A deeper look into the biodiversity of the extremely acidic copahue volcano-río agrio system in Neuquén, Argentina
(MDPI AG, 2020-01)
The Copahue volcano-Río Agrio system, on Patagonia Argentina, comprises the naturally acidic river Río Agrio, that runs from a few meters down the Copahue volcano crater to more than 40 km maintaining low pH waters, and ...
Towards the design of biodiverse green roofs in Argentina: Assessing key elements for different functional groups of arthropods
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-06)
Green roofs offer numerous environmental benefits, and thus their implementation is considered an initiative to create sustainable cities. However, the characteristics of green roofs that could enhance arthropod biodiversity ...
Assessing the performance of the existing and proposed network of marine protected areas to conserve marine biodiversity in Chile
(Elsevier, 2009-12)
The growing concern about the profound influence of human activities on marine ecosystems has been the driving force behind the creation of marine reserves in the last few decades. With almost 4200 km of coastline, Chile ...
Trade-offs between biodiversity and agriculture are moving targets in dynamic landscapes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-07-21)
1. Understanding how biodiversity responds to intensifying agriculture is critical to mitigating the trade-offs between them. These trade-offs are particularly strong in tropical and subtropical deforestation frontiers, ...
Biodiversity assessments: Origin matters
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11)
Recent global efforts in biodiversity accounting, such as those undertaken through the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), ...
Effects of bioenergy on biodiversity arising from land-use change and crop type
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-12-19)
Understanding how the world's flora and fauna will respond to bioenergy expansion is critical. This issue is particularly pronounced considering bioenergy's potential role as a driver of land‐use change, the variety of ...
New technologies challenge the future of taxonomy in Orthoptera
(The Orthopterists' Society, 2010-07)
A global imperative for the conservation of biodiversity brings into focus the need for taxonomic research. However, this biodiversity crisis is reflected in a parallel taxonomic crisis. Whereas molecular information is ...
Improving the knowledge of plant potential biodiversity-ecosystem services links using maps at the regional level in Southern Patagonia
(Springer, 2021-07)
Background: Biodiversity supports multiple ecosystem services, whereas species loss endangers the provision of many services and affects ecosystem resilience and resistance capacity. The increase of remote sensing techniques ...
Native tree regeneration in native tree plantations: understanding the contribution of Araucaria angustifolia to biodiversity conservation in the threatened Atlantic Forest in Argentina
(Wiley, 2020)
Deforestation is a global process that has strongly affected the Atlantic Forest in South America, which has been recognised as a threatened biodiversity hotspot. An important proportion of deforested areas were converted ...
