Article
Riparian forests are among the most vulnerable ecosystems to biological invasions. Effective management strategies require a nuanced understanding of both species invasiveness and environmental conditions, but analysing these interactions is complex. We designed an Agent-Based Model (ABM) to simulate the spatio- temporal spread of Gleditsia triacan...

Riparian systems are highly threatened by alterations in its hydrological regimen and biological invasions. To guide its conservation is important to understand the relationships established between biological invasions and abiotic conditions affected by the hydrological regimen. We analyze the relationship between the distribution pattern of soil...

La agroecología emerge como un campo de conocimientos multidimensional, multiescalar y político de transformación del sistema alimentario. En el VIII Congreso Latinoamericano de Agroecología 2020, Uruguay pasa de 22 trabajos en promedio en los últimos cinco congresos a 70 trabajos. Analizar y retroalimentar la reflexión sobre la producción uruguaya...

Native to the southeastern United States, the honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) is an invasive tree in several South American countries. Since eradication of invasive species is often costly, prevention is a better strategy. The relationship between invasive species and their habitats can be analyzed using species distribution models to produce...

Los ecosistemas fluviales presentan alta vulnerabilidad. Su degradación se asocia fundamentalmente a alteraciones del régimen hídrico afectando la deposición y consecuentemente las condiciones edáficas determinantes del establecimiento de la vegetación pudiendo afectar procesos invasivos de especies vegetales reconocidos como otra importante amenaz...

Control and eradication of invasive species are costly measures with little chance of success. The Strategic Plan for Biological Diversity (2011-2020) as part of the “Aichi goals” proposed identifying exotic species with invasive potential and establishing measures to manage their introduction routes and avoid their establishment. To achieve these...

Glyphosate is one of the most used herbicides worldwide. However there still exists a strong debate about its effects on the environment or people health. In this context, the metric analysis is a methodology increasingly used to quantify and evaluate the scope of the scientific production around a specific topic. The goal of this work was to chara...

Nowadays, glyphosate is the most used herbicide in the southern cone. Its effects on human health, particularly the carcinogenic ones, are evaluated as far as from the 80s. In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer belonging to the WHO classified it as “probably carcinogenic in humans”. A year later this organism and the FAO conclude...

Invasive species limited by establishment have a wide dispersion range and high seedling mortality rate. Riparian forests are harsh environ...

Las especies invasoras constituyen una amenaza para la conservación de la biodiversidad, por lo que el desarrollo de programas para su control requiere de una evaluación cuidadosa. La invasión de Gleditsia triacanthos es una de las principales amenazas en el Parque Nacional Esteros de Farrapos e Islas del Río Uruguay. Evaluamos la efectividad del c...

1. Ants modify soil properties via nest construction and by doing this modulate soil resources for other organisms. In this sense ants are recognised as ecosystem engineers. 2. In this framework, two less well-studied issues are focused on: (i) the permanence of the effects of ant nests on plant communities after colonies have died, and (ii) the sc...

Question: How does the ant Atta vollenweideri indirectly affect the shrub Grabowskia duplicata! Does environmental modification induced by nest building affect the life history and population structure of this dominant shrub? Location: Halophytic savanna of western Uruguay, South America. Methods: We compared the density of three shrub size classes...
