South American Dry Chaco rangelands: Positive effects of cattle trampling and transit on ecohydrological functioning
(Wiley, 2022-12)Livestock production in drylands requires consideration of the ecological applications of ecohydrological redistribution of water. Intensive cattle trampling and the associated increase of surface runoff are common concerns ... -
The ecohydrological imprint of deforestation in the semiarid Chaco: insights from the last forest remnants of a highly cultivated landscape
(2016-07)The semiarid Chaco plains present one of the highest rates of forest clearing and agricultural expansion of the world. In other semiarid plains, such massive vegetation replacements initiated a groundwater recharge and ... -
Vegetation composition and structure changes following roller-chopping deforestation in central Argentina woodlands
(2016-10)Driven by the pressure of increasing forage production, dry forests and woodlands of Argentina are suffering one of the highest deforestation rates in the world. In this study we combined field work and a remote sensing ... -
Vegetation Productivity in Natural vs. Cultivated Systems along Water Availability Gradients in the Dry Subtropics
(2016-12)The dry subtropics are subject to a rapid expansion of crops and pastures over vast areas of natural woodlands and savannas. In this paper, we explored the effect of this transformation on vegetation productivity (magnitude, ... -
