Crop rotations in the Rolling Pampas: characterization, spatial pattern and its potential controls
(Elsevier, 2020-04-30)One of the most important decisions made by farmers every year involves land allocation to different crops. Accurate information on crop sequences over large areas is a key prerequisite to address social concerns as soybean ... -
Cropland Net Ecosystem Exchange Estimation for the Inland Pampas (Argentina) Using EVI, Land Cover Maps, and Eddy Covariance Fluxes
(Frontiers Media, 2022-06-23)Estimations of Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) are crucial to assess the carbon sequestration/carbon source capacity of agricultural systems. Although several global models have been built to describe carbon flux patterns ... -
Desertification and ecosystem services supply : the case of the Arid Chaco of South America
(Elsevier, 2018-12)New integrated perspectives are increasingly needed to bridge the gap between biophysical and ecosystem services' based assessments of desertification. For a vast area of the dry Chaco region we sought to: (1) assess the ... -
Developing an agro-climatic zoning model to determine potential growing areas for Camelina sativa
(2014)The purpose of this paper was the development of an agro-climatic zoning model to determine potential growing areas for Camelina sativa in Argentina. Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) is a promising and sustainable alternative ... -
Development of agroclimatic zoning model to delimit the potential growing areas for macaw palm (Acrocomia aculeata)
(Springer, 2017-08)The growing biodiesel production requires the use of new technologies and alternative feedstocks to maintain the growing demand of this biofuel. The macaw (Acrocomia aculeata) is a palm native to Argentina whose fruits ... -
Differential sensitivities of electricity consumption to global warming across regions of Argentina
(Springer, 2021-05-27)The description of the relationship between temperature (T) and electricity consumption (EC) is key to improving our understanding of a potential climate change amplification feedback and, thus, energy planning. We sought ... -
Discrimating the biophysical signal from human - induced effects on long - tern primary production dynamics. The case of Patagonia.
(Wiley, 2021-09-01)The temporal trend of aboveground net primary production (ANPP) is frequently used to estimate the human effect on ecosystems. In water-limited ecosystems, like most grazing areas in the world, human effects act upon ANPP ... -
Downgrading recent stimates of land available for biofuel production
(2013-02)Recent estimates of additional land available for bioenergy production range from 320 to 1411 million ha. These estimates were generated from four scenarios regarding the types of land suitable for bioenergy production ... -
Dónde, cuándo y cómo ocurren grandes incendios en la provincia de La Pampa, Argentina. Una caracterización basada en sensores remotos.
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2023-02-12)Los incendios son fenómenos catastróficos, devastadores, peligrosos y costosos para una región. A pesar de su relevancia, se conoce poco sobre su dinámica espacial y temporal en la provincia de La Pampa. El objetivo general ... -
ECOSTRESS: NASA's next generation mission to measure evapotranspiration from the international space station
(Wiley, 2020-04-06)The ECOsystem Space Thermal Radiometer Experiment on the Space Station (ECOSTRESS) was launched to the International Space Station on June 29, 2018 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary ... -
Effects of fertilizer type on nitrous oxide emission and ammonia volatilization in wheat and maize crops
(Wiley, 2022-01-28)About half of the applied nitrogen (N) is not consumed by crops, causing environmental and economic costs. This N can be lost as ammonia (NH3) volatilization, nitrous oxide (N2O) emission or leaching, among others. This ... -
Estimación del volumen sin corteza en Eucalyptus grandis utilizando modelos de regresión con variables instrumentales en dos etapas de plantaciones de la Mesopotamia argentina
(Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DNA SICC, INTA, 2015-08)En este trabajo se ajustaron modelos de predicción de volumen total sin corteza (vtsc) y volumen total con corteza (vtcc) de árboles individuales en forma simultánea. El vtcc se ajustó en función de la altura del árbol (h) ... -
Estimation of high-resolution terrestrial evapotranspiration from Landsat data using a simple Taylor skill fusion method
(2017-10)Estimation of high-resolution terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) from Landsat data is important in many climatic, hydrologic, and agricultural applications, as it can help bridging the gap between existing coarse-resolution ... -
First Large Extent and High Resolution Cropland and Crop Type Map of Argentina
(International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2020-03-22)The availability of spatially explicit information about agricultural crops for large regions in Argentina is scarce. In particular, due to temporal dynamics of agricultural production (i.e. changes in planted crops from ... -
Forest browning trends in response to drought in a highly threatened mediterranean landscape of South America
(Elsevier, 2020-08)Deforestation is widely studied throughout the world. However, a less evident issue is the effect of climate change and drought on remnants of native forests. The objective of this work was to understand the geographic ... -
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 ... -
Functional syndromes as indicators of ecosystem change in temperate grasslands
(Elsevier, 2018-09-24)The lack of an organizing conceptual framework to address ecosystem changes reduces our capacity to distinguish biophysical from direct human impacts on grassland dynamics. This is particularly important for subhumid ... -
