Weak trophic links between a crab-spider and the effective pollinators of a rewardless orchid
(2015-01)Sit and wait predators hunting on flowers are considered to be exploiters of plant–pollinator mutualisms. Several studies have shown that plant–pollinator interactions can be highly susceptible to the impact of a third ... -
Web-Based System for the Remote Monitoring and Management of Precision Irrigation: A Case Study in an Arid Region of Argentina
(MDPI, 2018-11-09)This article presents a description of the design, development, and implementation of web-based software and dedicated hardware which allows for the remote monitoring and control of a drip irrigation system. The hardware ... -
Weed Communities in Semiarid Rainfed Croplands of Central Argentina: Comparison between Corn (Zea mays) and Soybean (Glycine max) Crops
(2018-05)The semiarid Espinal in central Argentina, being recently transformed from natural semiarid grasslands into agriculture, represents an interesting scenario to understand the early stages of weed community assembly and its ... -
What can possibly go wrong? The risks of introducing soil microorganisms from Antarctica into South America = ¿Qué puede salir mal? : Los riesgos de introducir microorganismos del suelo de la Antártida en América del Sur
(2015)Endophytic fungi form mutualistic associations with plant roots which can increase plant survival and resistance to stress. Recently, it has been proposed that endophytic fungi from Antarctica should be used to facilitate ... -
What do domestic livestock eat in northern Patagonian rangelands?
(CSIRO Publishing, 2013-02)The Patagonian rangelands are dominated by steppes interspersed with meadows (locally called mallines), which are small but permanently humid areas, characterised by high spring–summer quality and productivity of grasses ... -
What do we talk about when we talk about Social-Ecological Systems? A Literature Review
(2018-08-20)In the last decade, probably in response to global changes and the environmental crisis, the use of the term “social-ecological system” (SES) in scientific literature has grown. This is certainly a sign that the need and ... -
What Factors Control the Crude Protein Content Variation of a Basaltic “Campos” Native Grassland of South America?
(MDPI, 2022-08)Native grasslands are the main source of food for livestock in the Campos region of South America. These forage resources are heterogeneous in species composition, grazing management, and soil fertility within a context ... -
What is hot in tree rings? The wood density of surviving Douglas-firs to the 2003 drought and heat wave
(Elsevier, 2008-08)In a global warming scenario, drought and heat waves like the one that occurred in 2003 in Europe are expected to become more intense and frequent. This extreme climate event strongly affected the hydraulic balance in many ... -
What is meat in Argentina?
(2017-10)Due to its strong cultural significance, the term “meat” in Argentina has been historically associated with beef, despite its wider definition in the Argentine Food Code. Only by the end of the last century did other meats ... -
What to Expect as Corn Yields Face a Third Straight La Niña
(University of Illinois, 2022-07-11)Meteorologists are forecasting a third consecutive year of La Niña. The occurrence of two successive La Niña winters in the Northern Hemisphere is common, however, having three in a row is relatively rare. A triple La Niña ... -
Wheat grains damaged by Fusarium graminearum: alterations in yield, toxicity and protein composition
(Springer, 2019-08-26)The aim of this study was to investigate alterations on wheat grains, in relation to yield and quality parameters, such as infection degree, protein composition and toxicity caused by isolates of Fusarium graminearum with ... -
Wheat Outlook After Five Months of War in Ukraine
(University of Illinois, 2022-08-01)Even with the projection of increased wheat production in some countries, the world harvest is expected to be a little smaller as a result of effects of the war in Ukraine. Global production for the marketing year 2022/2023 ... -
Wheat Ppd-1 allelic combination modulates photoperiod sensitivity
(Sociedad Argentina de Fisiología Vegetal, 2018-11)ABSTRACT: a model linking Ppd-1 allelic composition to photoperiod response curve would allow replacing expensive and time consuming phenologic trials. In Ppd-1 near isogenic lines grown under different photoperiods we ... -
Wheat pre-anthesis development as affected by photoperiod sensitivity genes (Ppd-1) under contrasting photoperiods
(2018-01)Fine tuning wheat phenology is of paramount importance for adaptation. A better understanding of how genetic constitution modulates the developmental responses during pre-anthesis phases would help to maintain or even ... -
Wheat spike fertility : inheritance and relationship with spike yield components in early generations
(2015)In wheat, grain number is considered as the product of spike dry weight (SDW) and the number of grains per unit of SDW, that is an indicator of spike fertility (SF). The aim of this study was to determine the heritability ... -
Wheat yield progress and stability during the last five decades in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2021-07)Improvement of grain yield (GY) at farm level, which is closely related to GY potential, seems to be the main alternative to increase wheat (Triticum aestivum L) production. The aim of current research was to assess the ... -
When neglected species gain global interest: Lessons learned from quinoa's boom and bust for teff and minor millet
(Elsevier, 2022-03)Until recently, many so-called neglected and underutilized species (NUS) were not present in global markets despite playing a pivotal role in the local livelihoods in their places of origin. Today, some NUS receive substantial ... -
When we cannot have it all: Ecosystem services trade-offs in the context of spatial planning
(2017)Spatial planning has to deal with trade-offs between various stakeholders’ wishes and needs as part of planning and management of landscapes, natural resources and/or biodiversity. To make ecosystem services (ES) trade-off ... -
