Resumen
In the Patagonian steppe, grazing may or may not reduce soil water availability: it may increase evaporative losses, because it reduces plant cover, but may decrease transpiration losses because it decreases plant biomass. Therefore, grazing could reduce soil water availability in the superficial layer, mostly affected by evaporation, but could increase it in the subsurface layers, mostly affected by transpiration. Our hypothesis is that such effects

dc.description.abstract | In the Patagonian steppe, grazing may or may not reduce soil water availability: it may increase evaporative losses, because it reduces plant cover, but may decrease transpiration losses because it decreases plant biomass. Therefore, grazing could reduce soil water availability in the superficial layer, mostly affected by evaporation, but could increase it in the subsurface layers, mostly affected by transpiration. Our hypothesis is that such effects would be most evident in the bare soil spaces, with higher evaporative losses and lower root density than vegetated microsites. Therefore, we analyzed the proportion of four microsites (shrubs, bare soil, preferred- and unpreferred grasses), and their soil water availability at 0–5 and 5–15 cm depth in four sampling areas, each one with an ungrazed, a moderately- and an intensely-grazed site. Our results supported the initial hypothesis: bare soil microsites had the lowest surface, but the highest subsurface water availability. However, grazing did not cause any change in the mean soil water availability (net effect) because it did not affect soil water availability in any microsite and depth (direct effects), and only caused a replacement of preferred-by unpreferred grasses (indirect effects), two groups that induced small differences in water availability. | eng |
