My name is Macarena Tasquer, I am an Engineer in Animal Production, PhD student from Argentina, working as a guest scientist in the Conservation Biogeography Lab. My project focuses on understanding how climate change variability and environmental shocks influence different cattle ranching socio-ecological systems in the Argentinean Dry Chaco. I am interested in the strategies that build resilience to overcome these extreme climatic events, identifying the resilience response through constitutive variables such as absorption or adaptation and exploring the spatial determinants of each response at regional and establishment scales, as well as the subsequent ecological consequences of different management. My career allowed me to learn about the different animal production systems and today, I am interested in how these can be maintained, changed or adapted to face the climate change.
