Evaluación de la cantidad de agua lluvia diaria mediante programación lineal para optimizar el uso de agua potable en la industria cuencana (Ecuador)

open access: yesEspacios, 2023
En Cuenca, Ecuador, la cobertura de agua potable llega a más del 90 % de la población, pero no existe un control en el consumo, por lo que la captación de agua lluvia podría ser una alternativa. La presente investigación evaluó la cantidad de agua lluvia requerida para optimizar el consumo en la industria cuencana.

Rainy years counteract negative effects of drought on taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity: Resilience in annual plant communities

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 2308-2320, October 2022., 2022
Our results provide important insights into the responses of semiarid annual plant communities under a climate change scenario. Experimental rain exclusion consistently decreased diversity (taxonomic and functional) but to a lesser extent than interannual rain patterns, that result in deep diversity losses during drought events but rapid recovery in ...

Prioritizing conservation in sub‐Saharan African lakes based on freshwater biodiversity and algal bloom metrics

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract As agricultural land use and climate change continue to pose increasing threats to biodiversity in sub‐Saharan Africa, efforts are being made to identify areas where trade‐offs between future agricultural development and terrestrial biodiversity conservation are expected to be greatest. However, little research so far has focused on freshwater

Hydrology affects shorebirds, waterfowl, and other waterbirds at Bear River Bay, a Globally Important Bird Area

open access: yesJournal of Field Ornithology, Volume 92, Issue 4, Page 388-401, December 2021., 2021
Abstract The value of saline lakes and associated wetlands as habitats in the xeric Great Basin is dependent on having water of sufficient quantity and quality to support wetland‐dependent birds. To inform conservation and management of these habitats, models are needed to link birds and hydrological changes due to climate and human water use.
