Artificial perches for birds in deforested areas favour a seed rain similar to woodland remnants
(Springer, 2022-11)The lack of seeds represents one of the highest difficulties to overcome for the ecological restoration of areas that have been deforested. This study evaluates the effectiveness of artificial perches in increasing the ... -
In search of sustainable livestock management in the Dry Chaco: effect of different shrub-removal practices on vegetation
(CSIRO, 2023)Increasing shrub density hinders cattle raising in central Argentina rangelands. While roller- chopping and hand-cutting are used to remove shrubs and make land accessible for cattle grazing, studies on the effects of these ... -
Is local best? Examining the evidence for local adaptation in trees and its scale
(2015-10)Background: Although the importance of using local provenance planting stock for woodland production, habitat conservation and restoration remains contentious, the concept is easy to understand, attractive and easy to ... -
Pruning effects on ring width and wood hydrosystem of Prosopis flexuosa DC from arid woodlands
(2015-10)Pruning is a silvicultural practice that could potentially improve the productivity in arid woodlands. However, there is not enough information about the influence of this practice on the tree-ring wood anatomy of desert ... -
Radiation use efficiency of the herbaceous layer of dry Chaco shrublands and woodlands: Spatial and temporal patterns
(Wiley, 2022-03)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 ... -
Sex-related, growth–climate association of Araucaria angustifolia in the neotropical ombrophilous woodlands of Argentina
(2013)Araucaria angustifolia is a dioecious dominant tree in araucaria forests in Brazil and Argentina, South America. The species is nowadays critically endangered by deforestation and global climate change. The goal of this ... -
Soil physical changes after conversion of woodlands to pastures in dry Chaco rangelands (Argentina)
(2017-03)The conversion of dry woody rangelands into pastures can alter key soil physical properties that regulate ecosystem water circulation and storage. Based on three paired stands of native woodlands and pastures established ... -
The contribution of fire damage to restricting high mountain Polylepis australis forests to ravines: Insights from an un-replicated comparison
(2015-04)High mountain forests are often restricted to ravines and much debate has existed on the explanations of this distribution, with arguments ranging from abiotic site conditions being more favorable in ravines to there being ... -
Vegetation composition and structure changes following roller-chopping deforestation in central Argentina woodlands
(2016-10)Driven by the pressure of increasing forage production, dry forests and woodlands of Argentina are suffering one of the highest deforestation rates in the world. In this study we combined field work and a remote sensing ...
