Effects of agriculture expansion and intensification on the vertebrate and invertebrate diversity in the Pampas of Argentina

2011-12-01

Abstract excerpt

In this paper we summarize for the first time the effects of agriculture expansion and intensification on animal diversity in the Pampas of Argentina and discuss research needs for biodiversity conservation in the area. The Pampas experienced little human intervention until the last decades of the 19th century. Agriculture expanded quickly during the 20th century, transforming grasslands into cropland and pasture...
