Silvopastoral systems (SPS) represent an alternative to the environmental impact and biodiversity decline caused by extensive livestock practices. We evaluate transformation of a conventional pasture parcel into SPS, how it alters diversity dung beetles, fundamental organisms in these ecosystems. Transects with pitfall traps, baited excrement were established pasture, forest Differences structu...

En los sistemas productivos hay una estrecha relación entre productores y la naturaleza. Esta situación ha sido estudiada dentro de ecología humana, por lo que el objetivo este trabajo fue analizar percepción tenían cacaocultores Caucasia Necoclí (Antioquia, Colombia) sobre vínculo del ser humano con Se realizaron 74 visitas diagnósticas a se analizó información mediante ecuaciones estructurale...

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the discovery of gas and oil in Central Asia and Caucasia, it faced complex interests in the international political economy. These problems were mainly rooted in developing plans of the countries for increasing their influence in the area and also in Russia's connections with the Iranian and Turkish governments in the region.

This paper discusses the joint impact of catchment complexity in topography, tectonics, climate, landuse patterns, and lithology on suspended sediment yield (SSY, t km−2 year−1) Caucasus region using measurements from 244 gauging stations (GS). A Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) was used to reveal relationships between SSY explanatory variables. Despite possible significant uncertainties ...
