Sedimentary basins evolved in a wide range of Foreland basins structural settings on both flanks of the Andean magmatic arc, with strong signatures of retroarc crustal Orogeny shortening, flexure, and rapid accumulation in long-lived foreland and hinterland basins. Extensional basins also Sediment provenance formed during pre-Andean backarc extension and locally in selected forearc, arc, and retroarc zones during Late Stratigraphy Subduction Cretaceous-Cenozoic Andean orogenesis.

Salariato, D. L. & F. O. Zuloaga. 2020. Diversity patterns and conservation status of native argentinean crucifers (Brassicaceae). Darwiniana, nueva serie 8(2): 530-566. Global warming, coupled with habitat destruction and human activity, are accelerating the rates of species extinction worldwide. Species-extinction risk assessment using the IUCN Red List categories, together with the study of the spatial patterns of biodiversity, are fundamental approaches for identifying conservation priorities and targeting government decisions to mitigate impacts on biodiversity. Here, we analyzed the geographic distribution of Argentinean species of Brassicaceae using species point distributional data. In this way, we classified species following the IUCN threat categories at a regional level, and analyzed patterns of richness, endemism, and threat on the different ecoregions and biomes of the country. In addition, we also explored differences in elevation, annual mean temperature, annual precipitation, and aridity between endemic vs. non-endemic and threatened vs. non-threatened species. The results showed that of the 162 Argentinean taxa, 58 species were here categorized as threatened (VU, EN, or CR) (36%). However, when only endemics are considered, more than half of these (33 spp, 57%) are threatened.

We present new geochemical data and 40Ar/39Ar age determinations from Tunupa volcano and the nearby Huayrana lavas, and we discuss their petrogenesis within the context of the lithospheric dynamics and orogenic volcanism of the southern Altiplano region (~18.5°S–21°S). The Tunupa edifice was constructed between 1.55 ± 0.01 and 1.40 ± 0.04 Ma, and the lavas exhibit typical subduction signatures with positive large ion lithophile element (LILE) and negative high field strength element (HFSE) anomalies. Relative to composite centers of the frontal arc, the Tunupa lavas are enriched in HFSEs, particularly Nb, Ta, and Ti. Nb-Ta-Ti enrichments are also observed in Pliocene and younger monogenetic lavas in the Altiplano Basin to the east of Tunupa, as well as in rear arc lavas elsewhere on the central Andean Plateau. Nb concentrations show very little variation with silica content or other indices of differentiation at Tunupa and most other central Andean composite centers.

  • Carbon Stock in Subtropical Native Forests in a South American Protected Area
    Nature Conservation Research. Заповедная наука 2021. 6(2): 66–79 https://dx.doi.org/10.24189/ncr.2021.027 CARBON STOCK IN SUBTROPICAL NATIVE FORESTS IN A SOUTH AMERICAN PROTECTED AREA Julian A. Sabattini* , Rafael A. Sabattini , Juan C. Cian , Ivan A. Sabattini National University of Entre Rios, Argentina *e-mail: [email protected] Received: 26.06.2020. Revised: 14.02.2021. Accepted: 24.02.2021. In forests, it is possible to sequester the carbon emitted by industrial activities, although global deforestation has recently increased considerably. Protected Areas make a significant contribution to mitigate negative effects of climate change. In this sense, the aim of this study is to estimate the carbon storage of the different types of subtropical native forests in the Protected Area «Estancia El Caraya» (hereinafter – PA «El Caraya»), located in the Mesopotamian Spinal. The study was carried out in the province of Entre Rios, Argentina. We evaluated the carbon stock in the soil and herbaceous, shrub and tree components of five various environments with native forests as the dominant biome. The soil component represented 81% of the carbon stock in native forest, while the remaining percentage is distributed in trees (11%), shrubs (6%), and herbaceous vegetation (2%). Native -2 -2 forest of PA «El Caraya» stores 0.974 t C × km (3.56 t CO2 × km ), 39.4% less than the world average in this conservation category. These differences are due to the high heterogeneity of the natural environments in the world due to the very diverse ecological conditions. Proper management practice of subtropical native forests in the Spinal Mesopotamian contributes highly to reduction of carbon in atmosphere.

Fennici 49: 181–191. Geoffroy’s and Pampas cats are small felids with large distribution ranges in South America. A camera trap survey was conducted in the Espinal of central Argentina to estimate abundance based on capture–recapture data. For density estimations we used both non-spatial methods and spatially explicit capture–recapture models (SECR). For Geoffroy’s cat we also obtained density estimates from 8 radio-tracked individuals. Based on the data on 10 Geoffroy’s cats and 7 Pampas cats, non-spatial methods pro- duced density ranges of 16.21–21.94 indiv./100 km2 and 11.34–17.58 indiv./100 km2, respectively.

It comprises five provinces: North Andean Paramo (high peaks of Vcnozuela, Colombia, Emador; and northern Peru, above 3000 m), Coastal Peruvian Desert (narrow strip along the Pacific Ocean coast, from northern Paru to northern Chile),Puna (southernBolivia, northern Chile, northern Argentina, and southern Peru), Atmama (northern Chile), and Prcpuna (central western Argentina, fiom Jiijuy to northern Mendoza). The subregion and its provinces are defined and characterized by endemic twra, specially animals.

Recent studies (Fjeldsg, 1992; The Paramo-Punan subregion comprises the Morrone & Urtubey, 1997; Morrone et al., 1997; Andean highlands between western Venezuela Posadaset al., 1997) have shown that the Central and central western Argentina (Cabrera & Chilean and Patagonian provinces are not closely Willink, 1973; Morrone, 1994b, 1996, 1999). it related to the rest.
