Effects of long-term low intensity silviculture and habitat on birds in Nothofagus antarctica forests of south Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2022-04-30)Low intensity silviculture has been used to decrease the impact of forest harvesting, for example, on bird species and structural diversity. The objective of this work was to analyse the long-term effect of thinning on ... -
MASTREE+: Time-series of plant reproductive effort from six continents
(Wiley, 2022-04-01)Significant gaps remain in understanding the response of plant reproduction to environmental change. This is partly because measuring reproduction in long-lived plants requires direct observation over many years and such ... -
Nueva base de datos reticulada de temperatura para la provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina
(Centro Argentino de Meteorólogos (CAM), 2022-06)La temperatura del aire es una variable biofísica que incide en la mayoría de los procesos bióticos y abióticos, así como también es una de las variables esenciales en estudios climatológicos, ecológicos e hidrológicos, y ... -
Structure and function of soil microbial communities in fertile islands in austral drylands
(Wiley, 2022-04-15)Fertile islands are an important determinant of ecosystem functioning in drylands. These resourcerich patches are maintained by complex interactions among biotic and abiotic factors. Soil microorganisms are responsible for ... -
Establecimiento y producción de forraje de cereales de invierno en la patagonia austral
(Asociación Argentina de Producción Animal, 2020-12)Se realizó un ensayo con el objetivo de evaluar el establecimiento y la producción de forraje para henificación de una variedad y líneas de triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack), variedades de trigo pan (Triticum aestivum ... -
Manejo de Bosques con Ganadería Integrada (MBGI) en Argentina
(INIA (Uruguay), 2022-01)La mayor parte de los bosques nativos en Argentina cuentan con ganadería. En este contexto, en 2015 se firma el Convenio Marco Interinstitucional entre los actuales Ministerios de Agroindustria y el de Ambiente y Desarrollo ... -
Nutrient enrichment increases invertebrate herbivory and pathogen damage in grasslands
(British Ecological Society, 2022-02)1- Plant damage by invertebrate herbivores and pathogens influences the dynamics of grassland ecosystems, but anthropogenic changes in nitrogen and phosphorus availability can modify these relationships. 2- Using a globally ... -
Precipitation is the key determinant of topsoil δ15N values in southern Patagonia’s semiarid rangelands
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2022-02-11)Nitrogen (N) cycling in rangeland soils could potentially be controlled by water supply, stocking rates, or a range of other variables, such as ecosystem N stocks. To gauge the relative importance and elucidate possible ... -
Environmental Conditions and Grazing Exerted Effects on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal in Plants at Southern Patagonia Rangelands
(Elsevier, 2022-03)Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a major role in maintaining ecosystem functions. AM fungi are found in most ecosystems including rangelands currently under increasing pressures from human activities. Southern Patagonia ... -
Changes in nutrient and fibre tissue contents in Nothofagus pumilio trees growing at site quality and crown class gradients
(Elsevier, 2022-02-01)Estimation of biomass and nutrient contents in tree components are essential for evaluating the impact of harvesting on carbon fixation capacity, bio-element recycling, and long-term effect on the balance that influence ... -
Multi-taxon biodiversity assessment of Southern Patagonia: Supporting conservation strategies at different landscapes.
(Elsevier, 2022-04-01)In the last years, different spatial analyses were developed to support multi-taxon biodiversity conservation strategies. In fact, the use of species distribution models as input allowed to create spatial decision-support ... -
The number of tree species on Earth
(National Academy of Sciences, 2022-02-08)One of the most fundamental questions in ecology is how many species inhabit the Earth. However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties connected to the species concept definition, ... -
Opposing community assembly patterns for dominant and non-dominant plant species in herbaceous ecosystems globally
(Wiley Ecology and evolution, 2021-11-22)Biotic and abiotic factors interact with dominant plants—the locally most frequent or with the largest coverage—and nondominant plants differently, partially because dominant plants modify the environment where nondominant ... -
Delineación y codificación de cuencas hidrográficas en la Patagonia Austral
(Universidad Nacional del Comahue, 2021-11-11)La definición de la cuenca hidrográfica es fundamental para enfrentar los desafíos de la gestión integrada de los recursos hídricos, considerando las demandas sociales, productivas y ambientales. Su apropiada delimitación ... -
Survival and growth of Nothofagus pumilio seedlings under several microenvironments after variable retention harvesting in southern Patagonian forests
(Springer, 2014-05-01)Context: Variable retention prescriptions for Nothofagus pumilio forests provide for biodiversity conservation and natural regeneration by controlled opening of the canopy. Harvesting generates different microenvironments ... -
Drivers of seedling establishment success in dryland restoration efforts.
(Springer Nature, 2021-09)Restoration of degraded drylands is urgently needed to mitigate climate change, reverse desertification and secure livelihoods for the two billion people who live in these areas. Bold global targets have been set for dryland ... -

(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2021-08)Analizamos 103 censos de vegetación de la Estepa Magallánica Seca, un área de 12000 km2 de estepas graminosas semiáridas en el SE de la Patagonia. Los objetivos del presente trabajo fueron ampliar el relevamiento de ... -
BAAD: A biomass and allometry database for woody plants.
(Ecological Society of America, 2015-05-01)Understanding how plants are constructed—i.e., how key size dimensions and the amount of mass invested in different tissues varies among individuals—is essential for modeling plant growth, carbon stocks, and energy fluxes ... -
