Ecosystem services and disservices associated with pastoral systems from Patagonia, Argentina –A review
(EDP Sciences, 2021-11-11)Pastoral systems worldwide secure rural livelihoods in the harshest environments on Earth. Their low productivity per area unit or head makes them the subject of much criticism with regard to their environmental impact, ... -
Ecosystem services to support environmental and socially sustainable decision-making
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2017-04)The theory of ecosystem services (ES) needs to be operationalized to contribute to practices leading to sustainable use of ecosystems, which includes solving trade-offs between private and public benefits and incorporating ... -
Exploring nutrient-sensitive landscape configurations for rural communities in southern Mexico
(Elsevier, 2024-06)In Mexico, the traditional MILPA polycropping system is giving way to maize monocultures, impacting the nutritional diversity of smallholder farmers and diminishing ecosystem services. This study explores landscape ... -
Grazing and ecosystem service delivery in global drylands
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2022-11-25)Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure, climate, soil properties, and biodiversity may ... -
Impact of agroecological management on plant diversity and soil-based ecosystem services in pasture and coffee systems in the Atlantic forest of Brazil
(Elsevier, 2021)The development of agroecosystems that can provide multiple ecosystem services with a reduced need of external inputs, requires management practices that foster ecological processes to enhance soil quality and crop ... -
Redefining the field to mobilize three-dimensional diversity and ecosystem services on the arable farm
(Elsevier, 2021-01)In this article we explore the concept and implications of three-dimensional (spatial, temporal, and genetic) in-field crop diversification to inform systems redesign towards ecological intensification. We first present a ... -
Role and management of soil biodiversity for food security and nutrition; where do we stand?
(Elsevier, 2019-03)Soils host diverse communities that support and regulate ecosystem functions, thereby affecting plant production and resource use efficiencies. There is increasing evidence that agricultural intensification affects soil ...
