Composition and Spatial Variation of Germinable Seed Bank in Burned Nothofagus pumilio Forests in Patagonia Argentina
(MDPI, 2022-11-12)The availability of soil-stored seed determines initial plant functional types in post-fire landscapes. We evaluated the post-fire regeneration of Nothofagus pumilio forests, in Patagonia, Argentina, analyzing the soil ... -
Compositional shifts of alpine plant communities across the high Andes.
(Wiley, 2023-09)Aim: Climate change is transforming mountain summit plant communities worldwide, but we know little about such changes in the High Andes. Understanding large-scale patterns of vegetation changes across the Andes, and the ... -
Compositional variation in grassland plant communities
(Ecological Society of America, 2023-06-08)Human activities are altering ecological communities around the globe. Understanding the implications of these changes requires that we consider the composition of those communities. However, composition can be summarized ... -
Conceptual framework to define management strategies for silvopastoral systems in native forests
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología., 2022-08-25)Most of the native forests in Argentina are used for livestock production with little sustainable silvopastoral management. Our objective here is to discuss different management strategies where natural and human capital ... -
Condiciones de suelo y vegetación en tres bosques quemados de Nothofagus pumilio en Argentina y experiencias para su restauración activa
(2018-08)El fuego es un disturbio importante en bosques de lenga de Chubut y Santa Cruz, en la Patagonia argentina. Según del tipo de bosque y la severidad del fuego, el sistema resultante puede diferir en gran medida respecto del ... -
Conservation values of understory vascular plants in even- and uneven-aged Nothofagus antarctica forests
(Springer, 2020-09)Usually, stands with aging trees are considered forests with higher conservation values, regardless their structural diversity and other functional attributes. Natural stands present a wide range of age structures, from ... -
Convergence of soil nitrogen isotopes across global climate gradients
(2015-02-06)Quantifying global patterns of terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycling is central to predicting future patterns of primary productivity, carbon sequestration, nutrient fluxes to aquatic systems, and climate forcing. With limited ... -
Correlations between physical and chemical defences in plants: tradeoffs, syndromes, or just many different ways to skin a herbivorous cat?
(Wiley, 2013-04)Most plant species have a range of traits that deter herbivores. However, understanding of how different defences are related to one another is surprisingly weak. Many authors argue that defence traits trade off against ... -
Decomposition and nutrient release of grass and tree fine roots along an environmental gradient in southern Patagonia
(Wiley, 2018-10-25)Decomposition of fine roots is a fundamental ecosystem process that relates to carbon (C) and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, this important ecosystem process has been hardly studied in Patagonian ... -
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 ... -
Desarrollo de la regeneración a lo largo del ciclo del manejo forestal de un bosque de Nothofagus pumilio: 1. Incidencia de la cobertura y el aprovechamiento o cosecha
(Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Austral de Chile, 1999)La Lenga es la especie forestal de mayor impacto económico en la Patagonia. Dentro del bosque es posible encontrar una población importante de renovales, cuya supervivencia depende de la cantidad de luz que el dosel arbóreo ... -
Desarrollo de la regeneración a lo largo del ciclo del manejo forestal de un bosque de Nothofagus pumilio: 2. Incidencia del ramoneo de Lama guanicoe
(Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Austral de Chile, 1999)Los Nothofagus presentan inconvenientes para regenerarse cuando son sometidos a disturbios sistemáticos y permanentes, como lo es el sobrepastoreo. Los bosques de Tierra del Fuego, libres de ganado vacuno, son afectados ... -
Desarrollo de un modelo para asignación variable de carga animal (MAVC) en Patagonia Sur
(Fundación CIPAV, 2016-11)El ajuste de la carga animal es un aspecto clave en el manejo del pastoreo extensivo y en Santa Cruz, Argentina se realiza tradicionalmente utilizando una asignación fija de forraje (AFF) por animal, indistintamente si un ... -
Differential responses of soil microorganisms to precipitation changes in austral semiarid grasslands
(Elsevier, 2023-06)Global climate models predict that precipitation regimes will change, generating great impacts on various ecosystem processes and functions. Therefore, it is important to know how drought and precipitation increases would ... -
Diversidad de plantas vasculares en bosques continuos y relictuales de Nothofagus antárctica (Nothofagaceae) en Patagonia austral
(Universidad de Magallanes, Chile, 2019)La historia de los bosques de Nothofagus antarctica (ñire, ñirre) está asociada a profundos disturbios geológicos y climáticos. A éstos se le suman los disturbios más recientes, que junto a los usos culturales de la tierra ... -
Do light and alfalfa responses to cloth and slatted shade represent those measured under an agroforestry system?
(Springer Nature, 2011-02)Shade cloth is commonly used in agroforestry research. It produces a continuous, uniform reduced light environment. Shade cloth and a slatted structure were compared in relation to the inability to represent the light ... -
Dominant native and non‐native graminoids differ in key leaf traits irrespective of nutrient availability
(Wiley, 2020-03-12)Nutrient enrichment is associated with plant invasions and biodiversity loss. Functional trait advantages may predict the ascendancy of invasive plants following nutrient enrichment but this is rarely tested. Here, we ... -
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 ... -
Early stage litter decomposition across biomes
(Elsevier, 2018-02-22)Through litter decomposition enormous amounts of carbon is emitted to the atmosphere. Numerous large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process in order to understand the ... -
