Abstract The effects of climate change depend on specific local circumstances, posing a challenge for worldwide research to comprehensively encompass the diverse impacts various social-ecological systems. Here we use place-specific but cross-culturally comparable protocol document indicators and as locally experienced analyze their distribution. We collected first-hand data in 48 sites inhabited by Indigenous Peoples communities covering all zones nature-dependent livelihoods. documented...
Abstract Indigenous Peoples and local communities with nature-dependent livelihoods are disproportionately affected by climate change impacts, but their experience, knowledge needs receive inadequate attention in research policy. Here, we discuss three key findings of a collaborative consortium arising from the Local Indicators Climate Change Impacts project. First, reports environmental provide holistic, relational, placed-based, culturally-grounded multi-causal understandings change,...

Ecoregions are a suitable organization level for the discussion and planning of conservation initiatives at regional level, due to their spatial continuity ecological biophysical homogeneity. The complex interactions between characteristics ecoregions, local global socioeconomic changes land-use change determine that threats opportunities within among ecoregions unequally distributed. In this article, we performed an updated diagnosis main issues associated with in terrestrial Argentina....
Global polls have shown that people in high-income countries generally report being more satisfied with their lives than low-income countries. The persistence of this correlation, and its similarity to correlations between income life satisfaction within countries, could lead the impression high levels can only be achieved wealthy societies. However, global typically overlooked small-scale, nonindustrialized societies, which provide an alternative test consistency relationship. Here, we...
Abstract Freshwater ecosystems are the most threatened worldwide. Argentinian‐protected areas have been established mainly to protect vertebrates and plants in terrestrial ecosystems. In order create a comprehensive biodiverse conservation plan, it is crucial integrate both aquatic systems include macroinvertebrates. Here, we address this topic by proposing priority of including invertebrates, ecosystems, their connectivity land uses. Location: Northwest Argentina. We modeled ecological...
Understanding the spatial pattern of ecosystem services is important for effective environmental policy and decision-making. In this study, we use a geospatial decision-support tool (Marxan) to identify conservation priorities habitat suite (storage carbon, soil retention water yield) in Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest from Misiones, Argentina—an area global priority. Using these results, then evaluate efficiency existing protected areas conserving both services. Selected had an overlap carbon...
Land use change is a key component of regional environmental change. In mountain regions, where conditions for agriculture and human life are often difficult, land trends dominated by changes in the population's distribution across rural urban areas shifts main activities. Argentinian puna—a high-elevation subtropical plateau about 95,000 km2 situated above 3200 masl—land chiefly used grazing, mining, tourism. this article, we analyze these uses over last 57 years context climatic toward...
Abstract Aims High‐Andean vegas are key functional wetlands in the Puna ecoregion. Plant communities combination with ecogeographic characteristics determine their processes. In this study, we identified groups of based on plant composition and characterized these spatial spectral variables representing context. Location Argentine ecoregions. Methods We recorded species cover plants 50 distributed along a gradient. calculated six 14 for each vega . performed correspondence analysis (CA) to...
<p>Central Andean Highlands represent a singular environment characterized by various extreme conditions. Among them, peatbogs are exceptional marshy habitats scattered throughout this arid and harsh area. In an effort to understand the patterns of beta diversity, we sampled benthic macroinvertebrates thirteen related biological distance with ecological using GDM (Generalized Dissimilarity Modelling) approach. Variables analyzed were altitude, geographical distance, physical chemical...
Aims: The aim of this work was to model the distribution suitable environmental conditions vegas with specific floristic characteristics. Vegas are high Andean wetlands that represent main sequestered carbon stocks, biodiversity hotspots, and water regulating systems in region. In these wetlands, plant communities biological factor determines functional processes, species assemblages associated different ecogeographic features. Study area: Argentine Central Puna ecoregion. Methods: For two ,...
High Andean peatbogs are key functional wetlands in the dry Puna region and essential conserving local biodiversity, including bird communities. We surveyed communities of 18 Argentinean (Salta Catamarca Provinces) to describe their species composition, patterns richness diversity; relationship landscape features environmental variables. In total, we registered 60 belonging 21 families during summer 2014–2015. Species ranged from six 20 per peatbog. The Bright-rumped Yellow-finch Sicalis...
We investigated the relationships between biological traits of macroinvertebrates and environmental characteristics 13 peatbogs Puna High Andean ecoregions. recorded abundance aquatic 8 focal (maximum size, body shape, flexibility, exoskeleton hardness, type respiration, locomotion, functional feeding group, specific adaptations to flow constraint). At each sampling point within bog we measured elevation as well different physical-chemical water. used RLQ analysis, which links features (R)...
Many habitat-specialist organisms occur in distinct, patchy habitat, yet do not occupy all patches, and an important question is why apparently suitable habitat remains unoccupied. We examined factors influencing patch occupancy near-threatened, little-known Diademed Plovers ( Phegornis mitchellii ), arguably the bird most specialized to life High Andean peatlands. peatlands are well-suited modelling because they discrete patches of humid within a matrix high-altitude steppe. hypothesized...
