Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope composition in plant and soil in Southern Patagonia’s native forests.
(Wiley, 2012-01)Stable isotope natural abundance measurements integrate across several biogeochemical processes in ecosystem N and C dynamics. Here, we report trends in natural isotope abundance (d13C and d15N in plant and soil) along a ... -
Carbon accumulation along a stand development sequence of Nothofagus antarctica forests across a gradient in site quality in Southern Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2010-06-25)Above- and below-ground C pools were measured in pure even-aged stands of Nothofagus antarctica (Forster f.) Oersted at different ages (5–220 years), crown and site classes in the Patagonian region. Mean tissue C concentration ... -
Carbon footprint of lamb and Wool production at farm gate and the regional sale in southern Patagonia
(MDPI, 2020-04-11)Natural steppe grasslands are the principal food resource for sheep in the Patagonia region, reared for meat and wool. However, there is currently a concern about the relationship between ruminant livestock and climate ... -
Carbon isotopic signatures of soil organic matter correlate with leaf area index across woody biomes
(Wiley, 2014-11)Leaf area index (LAI), a measure of canopy density, is a key variable for modelling and understanding primary productivity, and also water use and energy exchange in forest ecosystems. However, LAI varies considerably with ... -
Carbon pool dynamics after variable retention harvesting in Nothofagus pumilio forests of Tierra del Fuego
(Springer Nature, 2023-01-23)Background It is necessary to determine the implications for managing forest stands using variable retention harvesting for maintaining carbon and for calculating the effects of different harvesting practices on above‑ and ... -
Cartografía de un nuevo Modelo de Estados y Transiciones de la Estepa Magallánica Seca en la Patagonia argentina
(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 ... -
Changes in forest structure modify understory and livestock occurrence along the natural cycle and different management strategies in Nothofagus antarctica forests
(Springer Nature, 2022-08-17)Sustainable forest management is proposed as a solution for many ecological and socioeconomic trade-offs associated with different forest uses. In Patagonia, silvopastoral systems were proposed to balance provisioning ... -
Changes in forest structure values along the natural cycle and different management strategies in Nothofagus antarctica forests
(Elsevier, 2021-04-15)Ecologically sustainable forest management aims to preserve ecosystem integrity by providing wood and non-wood values. For this, it is necessary to determine the losses produced by the different management practices in ... -
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 ... -
Cisticercosis visceral por Cysticercus tenuicollis en ovinos de faena en la Provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina
(2018-03)Durante la zafra 2014-2015 en todos los frigoríficos de la localidad de Río Gallegos, provincia de Santa Cruz, llamó la atención un aumento importante de decomisos de vísceras rojas en corderos, debido a la presencia de ... -
Climate change-related growth improvements in a wide niche-breadth tree species across contrasting environments
(Oxford University Press, 2023-05-09)Background and Aims The vulnerability and responsiveness of forests to drought are immensely variable across biomes. Intraspecific tree responses to drought in species with wide niche breadths that grow across contrasting ... -
Climate regionalization of Santa Cruz province, Argentina
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), 2023-02-17)La regionalización climática es esencial para la caracterización espacial y temporal de la variabilidad del clima, la producción de pronósticos meteorológicos y el análisis de tendencias a diferentes escalas, así como la ... -
Climatic controls of decomposition drive the global biogeography of forest tree symbioses
(Springer Nature, 2019-05-15)The identity of the dominant root-associated microbial symbionts in a forest determines the ability of trees to access limiting nutrients from atmospheric or soil pools1,2, sequester carbon3,4 and withstand the effects of ... -
Co-benefits of soil carbon protection for invertebrate conservation
(Elsevier, 2020-12)The global decline in invertebrate diversity requires urgent conservation interventions. However, identifying priority conservation areas for invertebrates remains a significant challenge. We hypothesized that aligning the ... -
Co-limitation toward lower latitudes shapes global forest diversity gradients
(Springer Nature, 2022-08-08)The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most recognized global patterns of species richness exhibited across a wide range of taxa. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed in the past two centuries to explain ... -
Comment on “Worldwide evidence of a unimodal relationship between productivity and plant species richness”
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2016-01-29)Fraser et al. (Reports, 17 July 2015, p. 302) report a unimodal relationship between productivity and species richness at regional and global scales, which they contrast with the results of Adler et al. (Reports, 23 September ... -
