Agroforestry landscapes and global change: landscape ecology tools for management and conservation
(Springer, 2012-07)Forest ecosystems are impacted by multiple uses under the influence of global drivers, and where landscape ecology tools may substantially facilitate the management and conservation of the agroforestry ecosystems. The use ... -
Biodiversity and ecological long-term plots in Southern Patagonia to support sustainable land management: The case of PEBANPA network
(2016-12)Historically, interactions and trends between biodiversity, ecosystem function (EF) and land use practices in southern Patagonia (Argentina) have been largely undocumented and poorly understood. Since 2002, 1214 permanent ... -
Biodiversity potential of Nothofagus forests in Tierra del Fuego (Argentina): tool proposal for regional conservation planning
(2016-09)It is difficult to map and quantify biodiversity at landscape level in areas with low data availability, despite demand from decision-makers. We propose a methodology to determine potential biodiversity pattern using habitat ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
General destabilizing effects of eutrophication on grassland productivity at multiple spatial scales
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-23)Eutrophication is a widespread environmental change that usually reduces the stabilizing effect of plant diversity on productivity in local communities. Whether this effect is scale dependent remains to be elucidated. Here, ... -
Herbivores safeguard plant diversity by reducing variability in dominance
(2018-01)Reductions in community evenness can lead to local extinctions as dominant species exclude subordinate species; however, herbivores can prevent competitive exclusion by consuming otherwise dominant plant species, thus ... -
Holistic versus continuous grazing in Patagonia: A station-scale case study of plant and animal production
(Elsevier, 2021-01)We compared animal and vegetation responses of a 13 600-ha area under holistic grazing management (HGM) with a similar area under continuous grazing (CGM) in a Patagonian station. Limitations were a dry 2012 −2016 experimental ... -
Human appropriation of net primary production related to livestock provisioning ecosystem services in Southern Patagonia
(MDPI, 2022-06-22)Human appropriation of net primary productivity (HANPP) integrates ecological and socioeconomic perspectives on land use by quantifying the amount of net primary production (NPP) appropriated by society through biomass ... -
Improving the knowledge of plant potential biodiversity-ecosystem services links using maps at the regional level in Southern Patagonia.
(Springer, 2021-07-22)Background: Biodiversity supports multiple ecosystem services, whereas species loss endangers the provision of many services and affects ecosystem resilience and resistance capacity. The increase of remote sensing techniques ... -
Integrated global assessment of the natural forest carbon potential
(Springer Nature, 2023-12-07)Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system1. Remote-sensing estimates to quantify carbon losses from global ... -
Leaf nutrients, not specific leaf area, are consistent indicators of elevated nutrient inputs
(Nature Research, 2019)Leaf traits are frequently measured in ecology to provide a ‘common currency’ for predicting how anthropogenic pressures impact ecosystem function. Here, we test whether leaf traits consistently respond to experimental ... -
Linking potential biodiversity and three ecosystem services in silvopastoral managed forest landscapes of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-04)Several studies confirm that biodiversity loss endangers ecosystem services (ES) supply and human well-being. A better understanding of biodiversity–ES relationships and effects of biodiversity loss on ES supply is needed. ... -
Monitoring drylands: The MARAS system
(Elsevier, 2018-11-09)MARAS (Monitoring of Arid and Semiarid Regions) consists of 379 ground monitors in Patagonia, a 624.500 km2 semiarid area of southern Argentina and Chile. The objective of this paper was to describe the system and analyze ... -
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 ... -
Neochelanops michaelseni (Pseudoscorpiones: Chernetidae) as potential bioindicator in managed and unmanaged Nothofagus forests of Tierra del Fuego
(BioOne, 2015-11-01)Bioindicators could act as early warning indicators of environmental changes, ecosystem stress or taxonomic diversity. Pseudoscorpions have rarely been used as bioindicators, due to lack of information about their ecology, ... -
Positive biodiversity-productivity relationship predominant in global forests
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2016-10-14)The biodiversity-productivity relationship (BPR) is foundational to our understanding of the global extinction crisis and its impacts on ecosystem functioning. Understanding BPR is critical for the accurate valuation and ...
