Aplicación del modelo USLE en parcelas de erosión bajo prácticas de conservación de suelos y aguas en San Pedro de Melipilla, Chile = Application USLE model on erosion plots under soil conservation practices and water in San Pedro de Melipilla, Chile Ghent University
This study evaluated the USLE model in estimating water erosion in an Alfisol located in the town San Pedro, Chile's Metropolitan Region, with the use of erosivity values (R) obtained by approximating Arnoldus (IFM) and equations proposed by the Institute for the Conservation of Nature (ICONA) in Spain, adapted to the conditions of Chile. For the assessment of soil loss were used sediment data for each rainfall event during the period 1996-2000, ...

The role of science in contemporary art conservation : a study into the conservation and presentation of food-based art Ghent University
The conservation of contemporary food-based art appeared to be problematic. Due to the perishable nature, long-term preservation and short-term exposition periods can be problematic in terms of food deterioration and loss of sensorial properties (visual appearance, smell, texture). For instance, for contemporary food-based art the decay processes of the food materials are often intrinsic to the meaning of the artwork. Because of the perishable ...
‘Facing conservation' or 'Conservation with a human face'? People-park relations in southern Ethiopia KU Leuven Ghent University
Whereas some conservationists argue that ‘people-oriented approaches’ failed to achieve conservation goals, Nechisar National Park presents a case where ‘strict conservation approaches’ have at best been only partly successful. Nechisar National Park, heralded as a success in the 1990s, today shows a collapsed population of the endemic Swayne’s hartebeest and severe degradation of the emblematic grasslands of the plains. The park is also heavily ...
Conservation of ecosystem services does not secure the conservation of birds in a Peruvian shade coffee landscape KU Leuven
Agricultural intensification in shade coffee farms has strong impacts on the structure and diversity of the agroforest, with negative consequences for forest specialist birds, understory insectivores and their associated ecosystem services. Utilizing variable distance transect counts, we sampled the bird community in a multiple-certified yet changing shade coffee landscape in the Peruvian East Andean foothills, to evaluate bird functional ...
