The combination of crop diversification and no tillage enhances key soil quality parameters related to soil functioning without compromising crop yields in a low-input rainfed almond orchard under semiarid Mediterranean conditions
(Elsevier, 2023-04)Soils provide key ecosystem services and are crucial to combat climate change. Agriculture provides important ecosystem services but also causes negative environmental effects depending on agricultural management. In this ... -
The contribution of fire damage to restricting high mountain Polylepis australis forests to ravines: Insights from an un-replicated comparison
(2015-04)High mountain forests are often restricted to ravines and much debate has existed on the explanations of this distribution, with arguments ranging from abiotic site conditions being more favorable in ravines to there being ... -
The critical period for grain yield in chia (Salvia hispanica)
(CSIRO, 2021-03-30)Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) grain is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for human nutrition and prevention of cardiovascular disease, as well as dietary fibre and quality protein. Demand for chia ... -
The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project
(Wiley, 2017-01-05)The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples ... -
The degree of maternal nutrient restriction during late gestation influences the growth and endocrine profiles of offspring from beef cows
(CSIRO, 2021)Context: Cow–calf operations in Argentina are managed under extensive grazing condition and the quality of forages is often poor during the second half of gestation. The severity of nutrient restriction in bovine gestation, ... -
The dialectics of capital: learning from Gran Chaco
(Springer, 2022-08)The critical impact of humans on the biosphere has led scientists to coin the term Anthropocene. The global environmental changes associated with it are happening under the aegis of capitalism. A transition towards ... -
The diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and their associations in South America: A case study of argentinean and brazilian cattle raising productive ecosystems: A review
(MDPI, 2023-09-10)Mycorrhizal fungus diversity is an ecosystem health indicator, and thus, the appreciation of the aboveground as well as the belowground biota, such as fungi associated with natural and managed ecosystems, is essential to ... -
The ecohydrological imprint of deforestation in the semiarid Chaco: insights from the last forest remnants of a highly cultivated landscape
(2016-07)The semiarid Chaco plains present one of the highest rates of forest clearing and agricultural expansion of the world. In other semiarid plains, such massive vegetation replacements initiated a groundwater recharge and ... -
The economic cost of losing native pollinator species for orchard production
(Wiley, 2020)1. The alarming loss of pollinator diversity world-wide can reduce the productivity of pollinator-dependent crops, which could have economic impacts. However, it is unclear to what extent the loss of a key native pollinator ... -
The educational community and its knowledge and perceptions of native and invasive alien species
(Springer Nature, 2021-11)Environmental education seeks to foster an appreciation for nature and the impact of humans on it while introducing citizens to scientific thinking. Biological invasions affect different aspects of life on earth and mandate ... -
The effect of agriculture on topsoil carbon stocks is controlled by land use, climate, and soil properties in the Argentinean Pampas
(Elsevier, 2022-05)The conversion of native grasslands into croplands with a high frequency of soybean (Glycine max L.) in crop rotations has diminished soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in the Argentinean Pampas. The aims of our study were ... -
The effect of crop sequences on soil microbial, chemical and physical indicators and its relationship with soybean sudden death syndrome (complex of Fusarium species)
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2014)The effect of crop sequences on soil quality indicators and its relationship with sudden death syndrome (SDS, a complex of Fusarium species) was evaluated by physical, chemical, biochemical and molecular techniques. Regarding ... -
The effect of melatonin and season on in vivo embryo production of Dohne Merino ewes
(2014-07)To determine the effect of melatonin on embryo production in superovulated donor Dohne Merino ewes, two experiments were carried out at Trelew, Argentina (43° S 65° W), during the breeding and the anestrous seasons. ... -
The effect of pre-slaughter stressors on physiological indicators and meat quality traits on Merino lambs
(Elsevier, 2013-04)Merino lambs of 90 days of mean age (standard deviation – s.d. – 6 days) and 22.0 kg of mean live weight (s.d. 2.7 kg) were used to explore the effects of pre-slaughter stressors on physiological characteristics and meat ... -
The effect of water status on productive and flowering variables in young ‘Arbequina’ olive trees under limited irrigation water availability in a semiarid region of Chile
(Springer, 2018-12)The intense drought affecting olive production in Northern Chile underscores the need to research non-traditional irrigation strategies to obtain the best crop performance. Accordingly, this study aimed to obtain preliminary ... -
