Water availability is one of the main limiting factors that control ecosystem functions and productivity in semiarid regions. Vegetation of these regions usually presents a patchy distribution where sparse plant cover is...

the Biotic Pump Theory, as set forward by Drs. Makarieva and Gorshkov, states that the primary force driving surface winds, certainly in the tropics, is induced by the negative changes in atmospheric pressure caused by c...

This legal study on the 1978 Constitution and the Spanish coastline is a current approach to our coasts, their regulation and problems from an open perspective. A documented reflection on our legislative history, the cha...

"The thermochemical decomposition of beech wood biomass results in a poor quality bio-oil, which cannot be directly used in diesel engines. In order to make this oil resemble liquid fossil fuels, an upgrading technique s...

Abstract Since the emergence of the environmental agenda in the global arena, Brazil has maintained an active position in the debates around this topic. Although Brazil has always been a protagonist, its foreign policy h...

Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical models (e.g. species distribution models)...

The relationship between the timing of recurrent biological events and seasonal climatic patterns (i.e., phenology) is a crucial ecological process. Changes in phenology are increasingly linked to global climate change. ...

Global warming is forcing many species to shift their distributions upward, causing consequent changes in the compositions of species that occur at specific locations. This prediction remains largely untested for tropica...

Accumulated pollen sequences are used to infer temporal changes in vegetation composition. Pollen transport and dispersal by winds introduce large biases in the interpretation of pollen records. In order to calibrate the...

Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are a water quality issue worldwide whose incidence and severity are predicted to increase due to climate change and eutrophication. Argentina is not an exception to this trend, since those ma...

The Andean Plateau of NW Argentina is a prominent example of a high-elevation orogenic plateau characterized by internal drainage, arid to hyper-arid climatic conditions and a compressional basin-and-range morphology com...

Altitudinal gradients represent strategic sites for studying the relationships between climate and growth in woody species. Polylepis australis Bitt. is an endemic tree of Central and Northwest Argentina mountains, growi...

Leaf-cutting ants are key organisms because their role as primary consumers and potential agricultural pests. However, their foraging ecology was mostly studied as response of extrinsic factors such as climate and plant ...

Fil: Torres, Germán Santos María. Universidad Nacional de Quilmes; Argentina. La configuración normativa actual del sistema educativo argentino puede ser interpretada, en términos de laicidad educativa, como la sedim...

Los lagos y lagunas son utilizados como indicadores del cambio climático en todo el mundo. La celeridad con la que responden a los eventos atmosféricos convierte a estos ambientes en ideales para estudiar los efectos d...
