Argentina enacted the National Law 26,331/07, which regulates protection, enrichment, restoration and management of native forests and its environmental services. The objective is to determine the ecological and sociopolitical factors that influence the dynamics of forest cover loss before and after the law implementation and discuss the effectiveness of conservation and forest management policies. Satellite images, national ordination, forest regions maps and other variables were combined in GIS with national databases (social, agriculture, industry) to determine the evolution of potential drivers of forest changes. The main potential drivers were: (i) population

Its loessic soils have the highest production capacity in Argentina, in spite of which it is suffering extensive land use change due to urban expansion. The aim of this work is to evaluate the consequences of urban expansion on environmental conditions, including population welfare. An integrated analysis was carried out based on sets of ecological, physical support of production, land use and social condition variables. We hypothesize that land use change may generate unstable situations that negatively affect the natural-social system resilience, with the consequent loss of sustainability, and that this effect is perceived through the consistency among the factors on which the system resilience depends. The prediction is that a poor association between physical support and land use entails a misuse of resources that will be reflected on the social conditions. The results show that the prediction is fulfilled in some cases but not in others. Four combinations of adjustment between physical support and land use, and their consequence on social conditions were found. Land use is reflected on the social conditions, either because of social welfare as a consequence of proper land use, or because of the adverse social conditions associated to the improper allocation of land to uses for which it is not suitable. Alternatively, either social indicators of poverty prevail despite proper land use, or social welfare occurs in the presence of improper land use. In both cases, land use is not reflected in social conditions. The consequences of the four conditions on land management planning are discussed.

Research paper thumbnail of Spatial and Seasonal Dynamic of Abundance and Distribution of Guanaco and Livestock: Insights from Using Density Surface and Null Models

PLoS ONE, 2014

Monitoring species abundance and distribution is a prerequisite when assessing species status and... more Monitoring species abundance and distribution is a prerequisite when assessing species status and population viability, a difficult task to achieve for large herbivores at ecologically meaningful scales. Co-occurrence patterns can be used to infer mechanisms of community organization (such as biotic interactions), although it has been traditionally applied to binary presence/absence data. Here, we combine density surface and null models of abundance data as a novel approach to analyze the spatial and seasonal dynamics of abundance and distribution of guanacos (Lama guanicoe) and domestic herbivores in northern Patagonia, in order to visually and analytically compare the dispersion and co-occurrence pattern of ungulates. We found a marked seasonal pattern in abundance and spatial distribution of L. guanicoe. The guanaco population reached its maximum annual size and spatial dispersion in spring-summer, decreasing up to 6.5 times in size and occupying few sites of the study area in fall-winter. These results are evidence of the seasonal migration process of guanaco populations, an increasingly rare event for terrestrial mammals worldwide. The maximum number of guanacos estimated for spring (25951) is higher than the total population size (10000) 20 years ago, probably due to both counting methodology and population growth. Livestock were mostly distributed near human settlements, as expected by the sedentary management practiced by local people. Herbivore distribution was non-random; i.e., guanaco and livestock abundances co-varied negatively in all seasons, more than expected by chance. Segregation degree of guanaco and smalllivestock (goats and sheep) was comparatively stronger than that of guanaco and large-livestock, suggesting a competition mechanism between ecologically similar herbivores, although various environmental factors could also contribute to habitat segregation. The new and compelling combination of methods used here is highly useful for researchers who conduct counts of animals to simultaneously estimate population sizes, distributions, assess temporal trends and characterize multi-species spatial interactions.

Se presenta un ejemplo de aplicación, se describen las técnicas de cálculo de las cuencas visuales y de los perfiles de relieve y visibilidad realizados sobre las líneas visuales para comprender los alcances de la clasificación de sitios en visibles o no visibles. Se discuten las limitaciones del método.

Serm. & Bizarri] is an endemic conifer of the Andean forests of Patagonia. It is both an ecological and an economic resource for the cordilleran region. Widespread mortality of A. chilensis occurs and is locally known as "mal del ciprés". This mortality is one of the causes of forest fragmentation. External symptoms of the disease are manifested as a progressive withering and defoliation, crown thinning and finally, the death of the tree. The cause of "mal del ciprés" and the affected surface are still unknown. The objetive of this work was to identify the distribution of "mal del ciprés" in an area of interest. The study was carried out in "16 de Octubre" Valley, in Chubut province (43º10´S). SPOT PAN and XS satellite images obtained in 2001 were used, with a pixel resolution of 10m, comprising an area of 30 x 30 km. In the field, 90 patches of trees affected by "mal del ciprés&quo...
