• Aridity and grazing as convergent selective forces: an experiment with an Arid Chaco bunchgrass 

      Quiroga, Raul Emiliano; Golluscio, Rodolfo Angel; Blanco, Lisandro Javier; Fernandez, Roberto J. (Wiley, 2010-10)
      It has been proposed that aridity and grazing are convergent selective forces: each one selects for traits conferring resistance to both. However, this conceptual model has not yet been experimentally validated. The aim ...
    • Environmental factors regulate soilmicrobial attributes and their response to drought in rangeland ecosystems 

      Toledo, Santiago; Bondaruk, Viviana F.; Yahdjian, Laura; Oñatibia, Gastón Rafael; Loydi, Alejandro; Alberti, Juan; Bruschetti, Martín; Pascual, Jesús; Peter, Guadalupe; Agüero, Walter Damian; Namur, Pedro Ramón; Blanco, Lisandro Javier; Peri, Pablo Luis (Elsevier, 2023-09)
      In ecosystems, soil microbial variables characterization are used to determine soil biological health and the response of soils to environmental stress. Although there are strong associations between plants and soil ...
    • Forage provision is more affected by droughts in arid and semi-arid than in mesic rangelands 

      Bondaruk, Viviana F.; Oñatibia, Gastón Rafael; Fernández, Roberto J.; Agüero, Walter Damian; Blanco, Lisandro Javier; Bruschetti, Martín; Kröpfl, Alicia; Loydi, Alejandro; Pascual, Jesús; Peri, Pablo Luis; Peter, Guadalupe; Quiroga, Raul Emiliano; Yahdjian, Laura (Wiley, 2022-06)
      Droughts are projected to increase in magnitude, frequency and duration in the near future. In rangelands, the provision of valuable ecosystem services such as forage supply for livestock productivity is intimately linked ...
