Citizen science and community-based monitoring are based on the participation of people outside research institutes in collection sometimes also analysis scientific data. Most literature this practice focuses benefits for society or accuracy Recently, a few studies have stressed need to reflect other aspects prevent adverse impacts, especially when these approaches applied Global South. Herein, we discuss our experiences implementing use citizen app hydrological data water five countries...
abstract This article reflects on the multiple worlds generated around waterscapes in diverse Mapuche territory, Wallmapu. We contrast responses of three communities to external interventions and water availability Chimehuin Lepá rivers Argentina, Huenehue River Chile. The comparison reveals nature waterscapes, tensions provoked by global economy, its impacts management. establish an intersubjective relationship with water, securing protecting their supply. Waterscapes are constituted as...
In recently deglaciated soils, microbial organisms drive soil transformations by increasing carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools while depleting available phosphorous (P), thus improving plant colonization development. However, the rate of development can vary in response to local environmental conditions that affect abundance activity. this contribution we use observational experimental approaches evaluate interplay between biogeochemical features function after approximately seventy years...
Recent international recognition of indigenous peoples, their rights and contributions to solving current challenges has directed academic attention the way research is conducted in relation them, what topics are studied, by whom, using which methodologies. The Mapuche most numerous peoples South America have ancestrally inhabited a territory denominated Wallmapu. This study undertook comprehensive revision meta-analysis scientific literature related Through quantification visualization...
Climate change scenarios predict alarming levels of water scarcity and damaging flood events worldwide. Considering hydric systems in integrated spatial planning will be crucial mitigating, adapting, reversing climate change’s catastrophic effects. This paper focuses on fluvial restoration as part urban territorial regulatory frameworks the Andalién River city Concepción Chile. We consider three work scales: (i) basin, (ii) river reaches which focus city–river interplay, (iii) site-specific,...
Wildfires are one of the main processes that currently shape Mediterranean ecosystems. The analysis wildfire risk combined with historical records allows for a greater understanding trends and their relation to territorial variables favourable future events. Using GIS analysis, we assess in La Campana – Peñuelas Biosphere Reserve, Central Chile. Additionally, official LANDSAT satellite images from 1985–2015 determine occurrence Reserve. We found areas very high have strong combination...
Abstract River classification is a necessary starting point for understanding river ecosystems and developing management guidelines. Using GIS to analyse an Andean basin, we compare the application of two geomorphic methods at segment scale: The Geomorphic Units Survey Classification System (GUS) Functional Process Zones (FPZ). Segment definition follows manual procedure in GUS semi‐automated FPZ. Our objective was assess relationship between geomorphology fish assemblages' structure. Fish...
Diverse existing legal paradigms have dealt with the interaction of humans and Nature in different ways. We identify three main lenses through which current constitutional systems Latin America operated to resolve conflicts. focus on rivers as emblematic elements that offer concrete possibilities operationalize an emerging paradigm recognizes personhood for Nature. The objective is examine, from a critical interdisciplinary perspective, paradigms, describe their limits open debate...
La devastación de la vida en tiempos del Covid-19 o Coronaceno está antecedida por un conjunto catástrofes, tragedias y calamidades que, desde Chile, requieren una reflexión antropológica para analizar su despliegue. crisis ambiental a escala global ha deteriorado el devenir los territorios manifestación local pandemia da cuenta ello. En presente artículo analizamos dimensión territorial, así reflexionar sobre despliegue Chile que se visibilizan siniestros normativos futuros posibles emergen...
