Tradition and change in the Southern cone of America. Limits and potentialities of multi-agent systems as methodological tools for the study of the social impacts of territorial dynamics [PDF]

, 2008
The territorial transformations that have taken place during the last decade in the South American temperate grasslands - the "Pampas" - have been accompanied by dramatic social changes. As large-scale agribusiness replaces extensive livestock production,

Centering geospatial data uncertainty and the potential for injustice in pastoralist rangeland conservation prioritization

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Procedural, distributional, recognitional, and epistemic justice aspects of conservation interventions are well documented in contexts where pastoralism is a key livelihood and way of life. Geospatial analyses and representations of wildlife conservation and restoration that are increasingly applied in pastoralist rangeland socioecological ...

A review of participatory mapping in conservation science and practice

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
There has been a recent increase and diversification in the use of participatory mapping in the field of conservation, however, methodological standards remain both disjointed and confounding. We conducted a comprehensive review of the conservation participatory mapping literature and synthesized geographical, temporal, and topical trends across a ...

Local Knowledge, Agents and Models for the adaptation to climatic variability of livestock farmers in Uruguay [PDF]

, 2012
Basaltic soils in Uruguay occupy 3.5 million hectares, 25% of the country, and are mainly exploited by extensive family ranching production systems. These shallow soils have an extremely reduced capacity to accumulate water that make them more sensitive ...

Opportunistic Recharge Enhancement in Arid and Semi‐Arid Regions

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Groundwater supplies are increasingly stressed by climatic trends and multiple competing uses, especially in dryland environments. We propose opportunistic recharge enhancement (ORE) as a cross‐disciplinary, scalable framework to augment groundwater supplies by strategically integrating recharge co‐benefits into existing land and water management ...

Herbicide protection seed coating technology for improving restoration success in Great Basin sagebrush plant communities

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Invasive annual grasses (IAGs) pose a significant threat to sagebrush rangelands, but restoring native perennial species using seed is challenging because pre‐emergent herbicides, used to control IAGs, also harm desired seedlings. This necessitates seeding after herbicide effects diminish. Objective This collection of three papers

Seed pellets containing activated carbon increase emergence of native plant species used in dryland restoration following herbicide application

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over half of dryland ecosystems worldwide are degraded, making restoration a priority. Most dryland restoration efforts use seed‐based approaches, which often result in limited establishment of desirable species. The dual challenges of abiotic stressors and invasive species dominance are key barriers to native plant community ...
