Anuran responses to spatial patterns of agricultural landscapes in Argentina
(2016-12)Context: Amphibians are declining worldwide and land use change to agriculture is recognized as a leading cause. Argentina is undergoing an agriculturalization process with rapid changes in landscape structure. Objectives: ... -
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 ... -
Combined effects of agrochemical contamination and forest loss on anuran diversity in agroecosystems of east-central Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-11)Agricultural expansion and intensification has led globally to a rapid landscape structure change and high agrochemical use resulting in habitat loss and degraded environmental quality. Co-occurrence of landscape change ... -
Deforestation and cattle expansion in the Paraguayan Chaco 1987–2012
(2017-04)The dry forests of Latin America are among the most dynamic deforestation frontiers in the world and are important carbon and biodiversity reservoirs. Our knowledge on the spatial patterns of deforestation and its proximate ... -
Drivers of agricultural land - use change in the Argentine Pampas and Chaco regions
(2018-02)Agricultural expansion and intensification in South America's dry forests and grasslands increase agricultural production, but also result in major environmental trade-offs. The Pampas and Chaco regions of Argentina have ... -
Fading opportunities for mitigating agriculture-environment trade-offs in a south American deforestation hotspot
(Elsevier, 2021-10)Strong trade-offs between agriculture and the environment occur in deforestation frontiers, particularly in the world's rapidly disappearing tropical and subtropical dry forests. Pathways to mitigate these trade-offs are ... -
Multi-criteria assessment of cropping systems for the sustainable intensification in the Pampas
(Elsevier, 2023-07)The transformation of cropping systems towards sustainable intensification (SI) is essential in order to meet the demands of society. In the Pampas region of Argentina, most agricultural research has focused on crop ... -
Políticas públicas e institucionalidad para la intensificación sostenible en los países del Cono Sur
(IICA, PROCISUR, 2020)En el marco de la línea estratégica (LE) sobre Intensificación Sostenible (IS) del PROCISUR, se identificó la necesidad de contar con un estudio sobre la situación actual de las políticas públicas e institucionalidad en ... -
Soil organic carbon, macro- and micronutrient changes in soil fractions with different lability in response to crop intensification
(Elsevier, 2018)Soils under no tillage have experienced unfavorable changes, mainly due to current agricultural practices that consist in monocultures that leave little residue cover. The inclusion of grass as cover crops during the winter ... -
The role of soybean production as an underlying driver of deforestation in the South American Chaco
(2017-07)South America’s tropical dry forests and savannas are under increasing pressure from agricultural expansion. Cattle ranching and soybean production both drive these forest losses, but their relative importance remains ...
