Biodiversity loss in deforestation frontiers: Linking occupancy modelling and physiological stress indicators to understand local extinctions
(Elsevier, 2019-05-27)Tropical deforestation is a main driver of the global biodiversity crisis. Impact assessments typically focus on species' presence, which means impacts are detected when local extinctions have occurred – and thus when it ... -
Changes in evapotranspiration and phenology as consequences of shrub removal in dry forests of central Argentina
(Wiley, 2015-10)More than half of the dry woodlands (forests and shrublands) of the world are in South America, mainly in Brazil and Argentina, where in the last years intense land use changes have occurred. This study evaluated how the ... -
Combined effects of agrochemical contamination and forest loss on anuran diversity in agroecosystems of east-central Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-11)Agricultural expansion and intensification has led globally to a rapid landscape structure change and high agrochemical use resulting in habitat loss and degraded environmental quality. Co-occurrence of landscape change ... -
Deforestation and cattle expansion in the Paraguayan Chaco 1987–2012
(2017-04)The dry forests of Latin America are among the most dynamic deforestation frontiers in the world and are important carbon and biodiversity reservoirs. Our knowledge on the spatial patterns of deforestation and its proximate ... -
Effect of deforestation and subsequent land-use management on soil carbon stocks in the South American Chaco
(European Geosciences Union, 2018)The sub-humid Chaco region of Argentina, originally covered by dry sclerophyll forest, has been subjected to clearing since the end of the '70 and replacement of the forest by no till farming. Land use changes produced a ... -
Fading opportunities for mitigating agriculture-environment trade-offs in a south American deforestation hotspot
(Elsevier, 2021-10)Strong trade-offs between agriculture and the environment occur in deforestation frontiers, particularly in the world's rapidly disappearing tropical and subtropical dry forests. Pathways to mitigate these trade-offs are ... -
Forest strips increase connectivity and modify forests functioning in a deforestation hotspot
(Elsevier, 2021-04-28)Land use changes are occurring with unprecedented magnitude and intensity, imposing global impacts on ecosystem services (ES) and biodiversity. While the impacts of land use changes are increasingly recognized, understanding ... -
Increasing synergistic effects of habitat destruction and hunting on mammals over three decades in the Gran Chaco
(2020-03-17)Habitat destruction and overexploitation are the main threats to biodiversity and where they co-occur, their combined impact is often larger than their individual one. Yet, detailed knowledge of the spatial footprints of ... -
Multiscale spatial planning to maintain forest connectivity in the Argentine Chaco in the face of deforestation
(Resilience Alliance, 2018)Agricultural expansion threatens biodiversity due to habitat loss and fragmentation. In the Gran Chaco, a global deforestation hotspot, rampant cropland and pasture expansion raise concerns about the sustainability of these ... -
Partitioning the effects of habitat loss hunting and climate change on the endangered Chacoan peccary
(Wiley, 2023-04-04)Aim: Land-use change and overexploitation are major threats to biodiversity, and cli mate change will exert additional pressure in the 21st century. Although there are strong interactions between these threats, our ... -
Patterns and controls of carbon dioxide and water vapor fluxes in a dry forest of central Argentina
(Elsevier, 2017-12)Covering 16% of global land surface, dry forests play a key role in the global carbon budget. The Southern Hemisphere still preserves a high proportion of its native dry forest cover, but deforestation rates have increased ... -
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, ... -
The role of soybean production as an underlying driver of deforestation in the South American Chaco
(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 ... -
Trade‐offs between biodiversity and agriculture are moving targets in dynamic landscapes
(Wiley, 2020-07)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, yet ... -
Trade‐offs between biodiversity and agriculture are moving targets in dynamic landscapes [Conjunto de datos]
(2020)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, yet ... -
Using occupancy models to assess the direct and indirect impacts of agricultural expansion on species’ populations
(Springer, 2020-08)Land-use change is a global threat to biodiversity, but how land-use change affects species beyond the direct effect of habitat loss remains poorly understood. We developed an approach to isolate and map the direct and ...
