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 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 ... -
Changes in vegetation seasonality and livestock stocking rate in La Pampa Province (Argentina) = Cambios en la estacionalidad de la vegetación y la carga animal en la provincia de La Pampa (Argentina)
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2019)Crop production is traversing expansion and intensification processes all over the planet and in consequence the large scale cattle production is being displaced to marginal lands with lower stocking capacity. The objective ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Influence of fuel conditions on the occurrence, propagation and duration of wildland fires: A regional approach
(2015-09)Wildfires affect Earth's surface every year. Fuels conditions influence fire occurrence and behavior; therefore, their characterization is important for fire risk studies. We analyzed vegetation conditions influencing fires ... -
Selecting control sites for post-fire ecological studies using biological criteria and MODIS time series data
(Association for Fire Ecology, 2017)Wildland fires play a key role in the functioning and structure of vegetation. The availability of sensors aboard satellites, such as Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), makes possible the construction ... -
Towards a set of agrosystem-specific cropland mapping methods to address the global cropland diversity
(Informa UK Limited, 2016)Accurate cropland information is of paramount importance for crop monitoring. This study compares five existing cropland mapping methodologies over five contrasting Joint Experiment for Crop Assessment and Monitoring (JECAM) ...
