Aridity and overgrazing have convergent effects on ecosystem structure and functioning in Patagonian rangelands
(2018-02)Over 65% of drylands are used for grazing of managed livestock. Understanding what drives grazing effects on the structure and functioning of rangelands is critical for achieving their sustainability. We studied a network ... -
Camas biológicas: una herramienta versátil y proactiva para el uso adecuado de fitosanitarios
(Ediciones INTA, 2020-08)Esta tecnología simple, económica y de fácil mantenimiento permite la preservación del ecosistema, el cuidado de la salud humana y el cumplimiento de las nuevas exigencias que demanda el mercado nacional e internacional ... -
Carbon emissions from agricultural expansion and intensification in the Chaco
(Wiley, 2017-05)Carbon emissions from land‐use changes in tropical dry forest systems are poorly understood, although they are likely globally significant. The South American Chaco has recently emerged as a hot spot of agricultural expansion ... -
Changes in bird assemblages in a wetland ecosystem after 14 years of intensified cattle farming
(2018-05)Human activities have modified wetlands all over the word. Water control structures that are frequently implemented in these ecosystems to keep lands free of flooding can decrease or degrade habitat for biodiversity. The ... -
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 ... -
Future Land-Use Changes and the Potential for Novelty in Ecosystems of the United States
(2015-12)Rapid global changes due to changing land use, climate, and non-native species are altering environmental conditions, resulting in more novel communities with unprecedented species combinations. Understanding how future ... -
Intercambios de masa y energía entre la vegetación y la capa límite atmosférica en dos ecosistemas de Argentina
(Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2014-11)Dentro del contexto del Cambio Global ha surgido el interés en conocer y entender la dinámica de los ecosistemas. La técnica Eddy Covariance (EC) es utilizada a nivel global para el registro continuo de los intercambios ... -
Multi-season regional analysis of multi-species occupancy : implications for bird conservation in agricultural lands in East-Central Argentina
(2015-07-18)Rapid expansion and intensification of agriculture create challenges for the conservation of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services. In Argentina, the total row crop planted area has increased in recent decades ... -
Occupancy of avian foraging guilds in soybean fields and borders in Entre Ríos, Argentina: responses to vegetation structure and prey resources
(BMC, 2020-12)Reconciling agriculture and biodiversity conservation is a challenge given the growing demand for agricultural products. In recent decades, Argentina has witnessed agricultural expansion and intensification affecting ... -
La Red de Viveros de Plantas Nativas de Argentina (REVINA): Una perspectiva etnobotánica para fortalecer la restauración de ecosistemas en la Argentina
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2022-04)La Red de Viveros de Plantas Nativas de Argentina (REVINA) vincula a diferentes actores sociales involucrados en producir plantas nativas, en ponerlas en valor y en restaurar los ecosistemas de la Argentina. Fortalecer la ... -
Unveiling the increasingly altered patterns of wetland ecosystem functional diversity in the lower Delta of the Paraná River
(Wiley, 2022-07-08)Since climate, environmental and anthropic controls affect ecosystem functioning simul taneously, wetlands are permanently changing at different spatio–temporal scales. Thus, regionalizations based not only on structural, ... -
Vegetative and thermal performance of an extensive vegetated roof located in the urban heat island of a semiarid region
(Elsevier, 2022-01)Vegetated roofs reduce temperature and heat flow fluctuations on the building's surface mitigating the urban heat island effects and improving other ecosystem services. The objectives of this work were to quantify thermal ...
