This article describes and compares six disaggregation methods used to produce a dasymetric population density grid of the European Union at 100 m resolution. Population data were initially available commune level. The main ancillary information source was CORINE land cover, cover map distributed by Environment Agency. Information from Eurostat point survey, use/cover area frame also integrated in parameter estimation some approaches tested. Accurate for 1 km cell grids provided Statistical...
South America is experiencing profound land use and cover changes. Their consequences on the Ecosystem Services (ES) supply human well-being need to be diagnosed monitored in order support informed decisions both management territorial planning. The ES concept provides a key framework evaluate impacts nature. of spatially explicit indicators able characterize can turn operative framework, enabling for sustainability assessment. Supply Index (ESSI) synoptic indicator that estimates maps...
ABSTRACT Grasslands are often mis‐defined, mainly due to the legacy of colonial narratives in several regions, which have described them as deforested, unproductive or wastelands. They been largely ignored global conservation and protection policies, leading increased exploitation. Although there is much accumulated evidence on ecosystem services that grasslands provide, Uruguay, this still neglected parts society for most sustainability policies. Twenty percent Uruguayan replaced by other...
Abstract. In this article, we make comments on some methodological issues and the general approach of paper “Back to future? Conservative grassland management can preserve soil health in changing landscapes Uruguay” (Säumel et al., 2023). We have identified several design problems aforementioned article that may induce potential misinterpretations. First, our concerns are related aspects study methodology that, opinion, introduce biases critical errors. Second, concerned about possible...
Uruguay's freshwater network is threatened by widespread Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) known to be triggered human-related stressors such as land-use change and urban/industrial effluents. Existing field-based monitoring practices are limited due their sparse spatial temporal coverage. A complementary approach these techniques utilize remotely sensed observations for estimating optically relevant water-quality (WQ) parameters, of which chlorophyll-a (Chla) a robust proxy HAB quantification....
The replacement of grassy vegetation by tree monocultures has become an emerging global activity. In South America, about half a million hectares new plantations are incorporated each year, typically conducted with fast‐growing exotic species, like Pinus and Eucalyptus species. However, information the potential for spontaneous recovery these grasslands is almost nonexistent. We assessed biotic abiotic legacies left 7‐year plantation taeda on natural temperate sub‐humid grassland Uruguay....
Abstract Here, we evaluate the ecosystem functioning and ecosystems services supply of different vegetation types (grasslands, shrublands woodlands) under contrasting management regimes by comparing a protected area with surrounding landscape, which has been subjected to human disturbance in Eastern Hills Uruguay. We propose, based on functional attributes physiognomy, State Transition Model for dynamics grassland–woodland mosaic. used remote sensing techniques to: (i) develop land‐cover map...
Abstract Aim The intensification of livestock systems generates structural and functional changes in native grassland, which alter their capacity to respond disturbances. Our objective was evaluate the resilience an extraordinary consecutive‐droughts event, across gradient systems. prediction that sites with more intensive management (less diverse) will have lower (as resistance and/or recovery) drought. Location South‐central region Uruguay. Methods We evaluated consecutive droughts,...

Implementing heterogeneous rural landscapes with high agricultural diversity and a substantial proportion of natural habitats has been proposed to ensure food production while reducing negative impacts on ecosystem services. However, evidence an increased supply services (ES) in more remains limited, no consensus. To evaluate the effect spatial cropland system's landscape configuration indicators ES Rio de la Plata Grasslands region. We analyzed relationship between heterogeneity 1121...
En los sistemas de producción ganadera bajo pastoreo es fundamental conocer la Capacidad Carga (CC). La Producti-vidad Primaria Neta Aérea (PPNA) variable más importante para estimar CC ya que representa principal fuente energía herbívoros. PPNA puede ser estimada a partir cortes sucesivos biomasa o información espectral. este trabajo nos planteamos generar PPNA, dos unidades pastizales (densos y abiertos), datos satelitales. Para ello se determinó Eficiencia en el Uso Radiación (EUR) las...
Grasslands of southern South America are being replaced by annual crops and forest plantations. The environmental social consequences this expansion generate the need for its regulation. If a conservation policy were established, it would be critical to define which areas have priority conservation. Multi-criteria analysis techniques useful tools in territorial planning processes since they allow incorporating diverse even opposing opinions objectives. We present methodological approach...
