Abundan las evidencias de que una inversión bien dirigida y ejecutada en investigación, desarrollo e innovación (IDi) agropecuaria pública de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) puede tener un impacto beneficioso en la economía, la seguridad alimentaria y la reducción de la pobreza de un país (Stads et al., 2016). Pero, para lograrlo, las instituciones de IDi de ALC deben superar ciertos retos y combinarlo con un mayor apoyo a sus actividades en los países.

Aims: Monitoring rangeland above-ground net primary production (ANPP) requires information on the variation of radiation use efficiency (RUE). We studied the spatial and temporal variations of RUE of the herbaceous layer (RUEH) in woodlands and shrublands and its association with grazing regime, environmental, and vegetation variables. Location: We worked in the Arid Chaco (Argentina), an ecotone region between the Chaco and Monte phytogeographic provinces.
