This research paper analyzes the proximate drivers of timber plantation expansion in south-central Chile between 1975 and 2007, finding that plantations grew from 5.5% to 42.4% of the landscape, often through the clearing of secondary native forests.

A research paper analyzing the hydroclimatic impacts of replacing natural forests, savannas, and pastures with agriculture across the La Plata River basin using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model.

This research paper examines the potential for combining Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) with geo-spatial landscape models to better understand the interactions between energy, economy, and land use in regions heavily dependent on woodfuels, specifically focusing on a case study in Kenya.

The report details the second year of project CRN-2094, which investigates how land cover and land use changes (LCLUC) affect the hydroclimate and extreme weather events in the La Plata Basin. Key activities include the development of a Land Data Assimilation System, the use of Ecosystem Functional Types (EFTs) to improve regional climate models, and the implementation of agricultural monitoring tools in Paraguay.
