Decision makers are increasingly interested in information from ecosystem services (ES) assessments. Scientists have for long recognised the importance of selecting appropriate indicators. Yet, while amount and variety indicators developed by scientists seems to increase continuously, extent which truly inform decision is often unknown questioned. In this viewpoint paper, we reflect provide guidance on how develop ES informing making, building scientific literature practical experience...
In a complex environmental, productive and socioeconomic scenario, on November 28th, 2007, the National Act N°26.331 of "Minimum Standards for Environmental Protection Native Forests" (known as "Forest Law") was sanctioned in Argentina with purpose protecting native forests at national scale. this article, we aim to critically synthesize available information about law ten years after its sanction from an approach that takes into account economic social aspects. particular, characterize...
Land use is a key driver of the ongoing biodiversity crisis and therefore also major opportunity for its mitigation. However, appropriately considering diversity land-use actors activities in conservation assessments planning challenging. As result, top-down policy are often criticized lack contextual nuance widely acknowledged to be required effective just action. To address these challenges, we have developed conceptually consistent, scalable land system typology demonstrated usefulness...

Deforestation control is one of the major challenges worldwide. The aim this study was to analyse deforestation under Forest Law in Argentine Dry Chaco ecoregion a decade after its enactment and assess compliance with forest protection standards region. For purpose, we overlapped provincial land zoning maps an annual plot level database and, for some provinces, rural cadastral cartography. exceeding values allowed by zonings during period totalized 722,782 ha (28% total deforested area...
Abstract The spatial mapping of social-ecological system (SES) archetypes constitutes a fundamental tool to operationalize the SES concept in empirical research. Approaches detect, map, and characterize have evolved over last decade towards more integrative comparable perspectives guided by conceptual frameworks reference lists variables. However, hardly any studies investigated how empirically identify most relevant set indicators map diversity SESs. In this study, we propose data-driven...
Biodiversity and natural resources constitute a social safety net for forest-dependent communities represent their main source of livelihood. Agricultural expansion driven by global food demand is not only deeply altering landscapes at the local level but also affect forms life culture rural life. These changes are increasing inequalities between stakeholders in developing countries causing direct displacement numerous families. In this article, we focus on Argentine Dry Chaco, one most...
Abstract Conservation policies often promote land privatization to reduce incentives for deforestation. However, empirical evidence on the relationship between land‐tenure form and forest conservation outcomes is inconclusive. We combined key informant mapping geospatial analyses test association area under tenure deforested by extra‐local private local nonprivate agents in Argentine Dry Chaco over four decades (1976–2016). The study a typical commodity production frontier within global...
Agricultural expansion is altering the provision of ecosystem services and seriously affecting well-being indigenous communities still living in forests. In this paper, we evaluate impact forest loss degradation on dependent Eastern Salta, Argentina, between 2001 2015. First, identified demand area ten final for 202 using participatory mapping data. Second, calculated remaining usage a deforestation geodatabase based Landsat images. Third, analyzed significance trends productivity processing...
