Rainwater harvesting in Dry Chaco: Regional distribution and local water balance
(2015-12)Rainwater harvesting (RWH) has been essential for the establishment of human settlements in many dry regions of the world that lacked suitable surface or groundwater resources. A vast fraction of the South American Dry ... -
Relative soil water content as a factor for wind erodibility in soils with different texture and aggregation
(Elsevier, 2019-04)The soil water content is one of the main factors influencing the beginning of soil particle movement by the wind. Although, some authors studied the effect of soil water content on threshold wind velocity and have defined ... -
Remoción de carbono orgánico, nitrógeno y fósforo por erosión eólica en un Haplustol éntico
(Asociación Argentina de la Ciencia del Suelo, 2022-08)Conocer la dinámica de pérdida de nutrientes debido a la severidad de las tormentas eólicas contribuiría a entender este proceso y a predecir el efecto de eventos extremos debido al calentamiento global. Es por ello que ... -
Rendimiento de grano y eficiencia en el uso del agua en maíz bajo riego complementario con agua salina
(Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DNA SICC, INTA, 2014-12)En San Luis, Argentina, el cultivo de maíz es relevante con un rendimiento medio de grano de 1.600 kg ha-1 inferior al potencial con riego complementario (14.000 kg ha-1). No siempre se dispone de agua de calidad para ... -
Represas puntanas: Acceso, gestión y gobernanza del agua en las tierras áridas de San Luis
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2024-08)Los pobladores de la llanura árida del noroeste de San Luis cosechan agua de lluvia en pequeñas represas (tajamares) para producir ganado bovino y caprino en bosques nativos. Esta es una tecnología antigua que en las últimas ... -
Reproductive ecology and genetic variability in natural populations of the wild potato, Solanum kurtzianum
(Wiley, 2014-03)The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum ssp. tuberosum) has more than 200 related wild species distributed along the Andes, adapted to a wide range of geographical and ecological areas. Since the last century, several ... -
Respuestas fenológicas de gramíneas C3 y C4 a variaciones interanuales de precipitación y temperatura
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2018-08)La temperatura y las precipitaciones son factores determinantes de la fenología y la productividad de las plantas. Alteraciones climáticas leves pueden modificar de forma significativa los ciclos de crecimiento y afectar ... -
Riesgo de erosión eólica en diferentes sistemas productivos del sur de Córdoba
(Asociación Argentina de la Ciencia del Suelo, 2023-12-01)En el sur de Córdoba la simplificación en los sistemas de producción ha incrementado el riesgo a la erosión eólica, debido a los cambios en la dinámica de la cobertura vegetal y la remoción de suelo. Por lo tanto, nuestros ... -
Shallow groundwater dynamics in the Pampas: Climate, landscape and crop choice effects
(2016-01-01)Depending on its depth from the soil surface, shallow groundwater can represent a valuable water resource to alleviate droughts, or a stress agent that causes waterlogging and flooding in rainfed crops. Groundwater depth ... -
Soil dry aggregate stability and wind erodible fraction in a semiarid environment of Argentina
(2010-10)The size and stability of soil aggregates are primary factors that affect the soil susceptibility to wind erosion. Relationships among several soil properties and both the wind erodible fraction (EF) and the dry aggregate ... -
Soil physical changes after conversion of woodlands to pastures in dry Chaco rangelands (Argentina)
(2017-03)The conversion of dry woody rangelands into pastures can alter key soil physical properties that regulate ecosystem water circulation and storage. Based on three paired stands of native woodlands and pastures established ... -
South American Dry Chaco rangelands: Positive effects of cattle trampling and transit on ecohydrological functioning
(Wiley, 2022-12)Livestock production in drylands requires consideration of the ecological applications of ecohydrological redistribution of water. Intensive cattle trampling and the associated increase of surface runoff are common concerns ... -
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 ... -
Vegetation composition and structure changes following roller-chopping deforestation in central Argentina woodlands
(2016-10)Driven by the pressure of increasing forage production, dry forests and woodlands of Argentina are suffering one of the highest deforestation rates in the world. In this study we combined field work and a remote sensing ... -
Vegetation Productivity in Natural vs. Cultivated Systems along Water Availability Gradients in the Dry Subtropics
(2016-12)The dry subtropics are subject to a rapid expansion of crops and pastures over vast areas of natural woodlands and savannas. In this paper, we explored the effect of this transformation on vegetation productivity (magnitude, ... -
