New DFG project started: Understanding links between agriculture and biodiversity in the Chaco
The new project will assess these issues for the entire Argentine Chaco by making full use of the Landsat image archive to reconstruct land-use change for the last 40 years for the Argentine Chaco. We wil, in close cooperation with Argentine partners of INTA Castelar and INTA Salta, as well as the Universidad Nacional de Buenos Aires and the Universidad Nacional de Tucuman study bird and mammal communities and explore how these communities change with increasing pressure from land use, and other human disturbances. In addition to new scientific insights, the project seeks to provide important decision support for land use and conservation planning in the region, for example via feeding results into the BMBF funded PASANOA project.
