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 ... -
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 ... -
Effects of past and future land conversions on forest connectivity in the Argentine Chaco
(Springer, 2015-05)Context: Land-use change is the main driver of habitat loss and fragmentation worldwide. The rate of dry forest loss in the South American Chaco is among the highest in the world, mainly due to the expansion of soybean ... -
Future Land-Use Changes and the Potential for Novelty in Ecosystems of the United States
(2015-12)Rapid global changes due to changing land use, climate, and non-native species are altering environmental conditions, resulting in more novel communities with unprecedented species combinations. Understanding how future ... -
The potential impact of economic policies on future land-use conversions in Argentina
(2018)Agricultural expansion and intensification drive the conversion of natural areas worldwide. Scenarios are powerful tools to explore possible future changes in agricultural land use, how these may affect the environment, ... -
Trade‐offs between biodiversity and agriculture are moving targets in dynamic landscapes
(Wiley, 2020-07)Understanding how biodiversity responds to intensifying agriculture is critical to mitigating the trade‐offs between them. These trade‐offs are particularly strong in tropical and subtropical deforestation frontiers, yet ... -
Using occupancy models to assess the direct and indirect impacts of agricultural expansion on species’ populations
(Springer, 2020-08)Land-use change is a global threat to biodiversity, but how land-use change affects species beyond the direct effect of habitat loss remains poorly understood. We developed an approach to isolate and map the direct and ...
