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 ... -
Effect of defoliation frequency on Rytidosperma virescens plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization
(Elsevier, 2022-06-09)Rangelands provide different ecosystem services to satisfy human needs. Although grazing management in southern Patagonia is mostly characterized by extensive continuous grazing, rotational grazing management may improve ... -
Effectiveness of fencing and hunting to control Lama guanicoe browsing damage: Implications for Nothofagus pumilio regeneration in harvested forests
(2016-03-01)Browsing damage by native ungulates is often to be considered one of the reasons of regeneration failure in Nothofagus pumilio silvicultural systems. Fencing and hunting in forests at regeneration phase have been proposed ... -
Effects of Climate and Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition on Early to Mid-Term Stage Litter Decomposition Across Biomes
(Frontiers Editorial, 2021-07-14)Litter decomposition is a key process for carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems and is mainly controlled by environmental conditions, substrate quantity and quality as well as microbial community abundance ... -
The effects of land management (grazing intensity) vs. the effects of topography, soil properties, vegetation type, and climate on soil carbon concentration in Southern Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2016-11)Grazing is an economically important activity in Southern Patagonia’s steppe and woodland ecosystems. In the past, emphasis has been on maximizing the provisioning capacity of these ecosystems with little concern for the ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Environmental heterogeneity modulates the effect of plant diversity on the spatial variability of grassland biomass
(Springer Nature, 2023-03-31)Plant productivity varies due to environmental heterogeneity, and theory suggests that plant diversity can reduce this variation. While there is strong evidence of diversity effects on temporal variability of productivity, ... -
Environmental variables influencing regeneration of Nothofagus pumilio in a system with combined aggregated and dispersed retention
(Elsevier, 2011-01-01)The current silvicultural prescriptions for Nothofagus are designed to stimulate natural regeneration by opening the canopy. One of these methods is variable retention, which can include either or both aggregated and ... -
Essential Nutrient and Trace Element Foliar Resorption of Two Co-Existing Nothofagus Species Grown Under Different Environmental Conditions in Southern Patagonia
(Frontiers Media, 2019-11)Nutrient resorption is crucial for mineral element conservation and efficiency of forest species, but knowledge on its significance and the mechanisms involved is still limited for most species and habitats. Focusing on ... -
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 ... -
Estimates of soil carbon concentration in tropical and temperate forest and woodland from available GIS data on three continents
(2013-04)Aim: Concern about climate change, with the subsequent emergence of carbonmarkets and policy initiatives such as REDD (reducing carbon emissions bydecreasing deforestation and forest degradation), have focused attention ... -
Evaluación de indicadores de degradación y biomasa radical en mallines de una cuenca hídrica del sur de Santa Cruz
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2020)Se planteó un estudio con el objetivo de analizar la asociación entre indicadores de deterioro del suelo y la vegetación, evaluar los cambios de esas variables entre sectores y condiciones de degradación, y monitorear ... -
