A Key Interaction Behind the Scenes: Dung Beetles in Livestock Production from Arid and Semi-Arid Rangelands
(Springer, 2024-02)Pastoralism is a dominant agricultural activity in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The interaction between coprophagous insects and livestock is a key but an undervalued topic in rangeland management decisions. The objective ... -
A land cover map of Latin America and the Caribbean in the framework of the SERENA project
(Elsevier, 2013-05-15)Land cover maps at different resolutions and mapping extents contribute to modeling and support decision making processes. Because land cover affects and is affected by climate change, it is listed among the 13 terrestrial ... -
A leaf gas exchange model that accounts for intra‐canopy variability by considering leaf nitrogen content and local acclimation to radiation in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)
(Wiley, 2012-07)Understanding the distribution of gas exchange within a plant is a prerequisite for scaling up from leaves to canopies. We evaluated whether leaf traits were reliable predictors of the effects of leaf ageing and leaf ... -
A long-term sustainability assessment of an Argentinian agricultural system based on emergy synthesis
(2015-06-24)By tracking the different flows of emergy (the total amount of solar energy that was directly or indirectly required in a production process) it is possible to account for all environmental work previously involved in ... -
A look at polyploidy and plant breeding
(Heighten Science Publications, 2022-11)Polyploidization is a process that generates genetic variability and therefore one of the engines of biological evolution. Since polyploidization produces important changes in the phenotype, mainly an increase in the size ... -
A Machine Learning- Based Approach for the Discovery of Climate Smart Peaches
(2022)The temperate climate fruit trees are proposed as the crops that will be more affected by climate change. This is due to that these tree species alternate a dormancy period induced by chilling requirement with a vegetative ... -
A meta-analytical evaluation of the effects of high-salt water intake on beef cattle
(Oxford Academic Press, 2021-08)Adequate drinking water is essential to maintain acceptable production levels in beef cattle operations. In the context of global climate change, the water scarcity forecasted for the future is a growing concern and it ... -
A meta‐analysis on the effectiveness of homofermentative and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria for corn silage
(2018-08)Aims: This meta‐analysis aims to assess the effect of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculation on fermentation parameters, microbiological composition and aerobic stability of corn silage. Methods and Results: Databases ... -
A method for semi-field rearing of Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) to obtain mites of controlled age and specific life cycle
(Les Amis d'Acarologia, 2023-03)Varroa destructor is one of the most devastating ectoparasites of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, worldwide. Given that V. destructor has very low survivability and exhibits no successful reproduction away from their natural ... -
A mini review of the impacts of deficit irrigation strategies for walnut (Juglans regia L.) production in semiarid conditions
(Springer, 2023)The high demand for walnuts in recent years may be related to trends towards the adoption of a healthy and balanced diet. Walnut production is seeking higher yields, early entry into production and kernel quality, with ... -
A mitad de la cuesta
(EEA Alto Valle, INTA, 2012)Nadie duda hoy en día que los avances científicos y tecnológicos se han transformado en componentes clave para el desarrollo de un país y juegan un papel fundamental en aspectos básicos como la sustentabilidad social, ... -
A modification of the arcsine–log calibration curve for analysing soil test value–relative yield relationships
(2017-03)This article aims to discuss the arcsine–log calibration curve (ALCC) method designed for the Better Fertiliser Decisions for Cropping Systems (BFDC) to calibrate relationships between relative yield (RY) and soil test ... -
A MODIS based tool to assess inundation patterns: an example for the Paraná Delta River
(Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DG-SICyP, INTA, 2020-04)Wetlands are one of the most productive yet altered ecosystems due to human activities across the world. They rely largely on their water flow to provide several ecosystem functions. Then, to develop a land use plan that ... -
A morphological and phylogenetic analysis of Ornithodoros marinkellei (Acari: Argasidae), with additional notes on habitat and host usage
(Springer, 2018-10)Ornithodoros marinkellei was described from larvae collected on Pteronotus spp. bats in Colombia and Panama. More recently, this tick was reported in the Brazilian Amazon. Because some morphometric differences were observed ... -
A multi-criteria assessment for native forest policy analysis: the case of Caldén forest in the province of Córdoba, Argentina
(Springer Nature, 2020-06)The objective of this work is to develop a discrete multi-criteria model to evaluate dif-ferent Argentina. The application of the PROMETHEE multi-criteria method integrates a private cost–benefit analysis that describes ... -
A Multi-Objective Model Exploration of Banana-Canopy Management and Nutrient Input Scenarios for Optimal Banana-Legume Intercrop Performance
(MDPI, 2021-02)Bananas on smallholder farmers in the African Great Lakes region are often pruned to illuminate shorter understory intercrops, reducing overall farm profitability. The impact of this practice on environmental and nutritional ... -
A multi-resolution approach to national-scale cultivated area estimation of soybean
(2017-06)Satellite remote sensing data can provide timely, accurate, and objective information on cultivated area by crop type and, in turn, facilitate accurate estimates of crop production. Here, we present a generic multi-resolution ... -
A multivariate approach for mapping a soil quality index and its uncertainty in southern France
(Wiley, 2023-03)Pedometricians have spent a lot of effort on mapping soil types and basic soil properties. However, end-users typically need a more elaborate soil quality index for land management. Soil quality indices are typically derived ... -
A multivariate geostatistical framework for combining multiple indices of abundance for disease vectors and reservoirs: a case study of rattiness in a low-income urban Brazilian community
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2020-09-02)A key requirement in studies of endemic vector-borne or zoonotic disease is an estimate of the spatial variation in vector or reservoir host abundance. For many vector species, multiple indices of abundance are available, ... -
A multi‑model approach to explore sustainable food and land use pathways for Argentina
(Springer, 2023-01-01)In Argentina, current food and land-use systems are drivers of greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss, nutrient outflows, chemical pollution and water stress, while they fail to produce sustainable livelihoods for ...
