• Cultivating the dry forests of South America: Diversity of land users and imprints on ecosystem functioning 

      Baldi, Germán; Houspanossian, Javier; Murray, Francisco; Rosales, Adriel A.; Rueda, Carla V.; Jobbagy Gampel, Esteban Gabriel (2015-12)
      In the South American dry forest of the Dry Chaco and Chiquitania, the area under cultivation rose from 10% to 19% over the last 10 years, and little biophysical, economical, or political constrains seem to prevent further ...
    • Hydrological and productive impacts of recent land use and land cover changes in the semiarid Chaco: understanding novel water excess in water scarce farmlands 

      Giménez, Raúl; Mercau, Jorge Luis; Bert, Federico Esteban; Kuppel, Sylvain; Baldi, Germán; Houspanossian, Javier; Magliano, Patricio Nicolás; Jobbagy Gampel, Esteban Gabriel (Wiley, 2020-08)
      Over the last decades, the rapid replacement of native forests by crops and pastures in the Argentinean semiarid Chaco plains has triggered unprecedented groundwater level raises resulting from deep drainage increases, ...
    • Long-lasting floods buffer the thermal regime of the Pampas 

      Houspanossian, Javier; Kuppel, Sylvain; Nosetto, Marcelo Daniel; Di Bella, Carlos Marcelo; Oricchio, Patricio; Barrucand, Mariana Graciela; Rusticucci, Matilde Monica; Jobbagy Gampel, Esteban Gabriel (Springer, 2018-01)
      The presence of large water masses influences the thermal regime of nearby land shaping the local climate of coastal areas by the ocean or large continental lakes. Large surface water bodies have an ephemeral nature in the ...
    • Patterns and controls of carbon dioxide and water vapor fluxes in a dry forest of central Argentina 

      Garcia, Alfredo Gabriel; Di Bella, Carlos Marcelo; Houspanossian, Javier; Magliano, Patricio Nicolás; Jobbagy Gampel, Esteban Gabriel; Posse Beaulieu, Gabriela; Fernandez, Roberto J.; Nosetto, Marcelo Daniel (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 ...
