Human-natural system sustainability in Buenos Aires province, Argentina
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2012-12)
The Argentinean Pampean plain has been under agriculture and farming since colonial times. Its loessic soils have the highest production capacity in Argentina, in spite of which it is suffering extensive land use change ...
Drivers of agricultural land - use change in the Argentine Pampas and Chaco regions
(2018-02)
Agricultural expansion and intensification in South America's dry forests and grasslands increase agricultural production, but also result in major environmental trade-offs. The Pampas and Chaco regions of Argentina have ...
The potential impact of economic policies on future land-use conversions in Argentina
(2018)
Agricultural expansion and intensification drive the conversion of natural areas worldwide. Scenarios are powerful tools to explore possible future changes in agricultural land use, how these may affect the environment, ...
Regulation of rural land use: legislative and investigative gaps in Los Ríos RegionRegulación del uso del suelo rural: oportunidades legislativas e investigativas en la Región de Los Ríos

Carbon emissions from agricultural expansion and intensification in the Chaco
(Wiley, 2017-05)
Carbon emissions from land‐use changes in tropical dry forest systems are poorly understood, although they are likely globally significant. The South American Chaco has recently emerged as a hot spot of agricultural expansion ...

Land use as possible strategy for managing water table depth in flat basins with shallow groundwater
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018-01-18)
In flat plains groundwater affects agricultural production outcomes and risks. Agricultural land use decisions, however, may strongly impact groundwater levels available for production. This paper explores the scope for ...
Impacts of land use changes over southern South American climate: a modeling study using the MM5 regional model
(World Climate Research Programme, 2011-10)
La Plata Basin (LPB) and the Argentinean Pampas are two of the most important agricultural regions in the world. In the last decades the areas devoted to agriculture over these regions have been extended at the expense of ...
Surface albedo raise in the South American Chaco: Combined effects of deforestation and agricultural changes
(Elsevier Science, 2017-01)
Deforestation affects climate and the energy balance of the Earth not only through the release of greenhouse gases but also through shifts in the physical properties of the surface. These physical effects can be strongly ...
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 ...
