Better estimates of soil carbon from geographical data: a revised global approach
(2018-05)Soils hold the largest pool of organic carbon (C) on Earth; yet, soil organic carbon (SOC) reservoirs are not well represented in climate change mitigation strategies because our database for ecosystems where human impacts ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Extreme drought impacts have been underestimated in grasslands and shrublands globally
(National Academy of Sciences (Estados Unidos), 2024-01-08)Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of short-term (~1 y) drought events—the most common duration of drought—globally. Yet the impact of this intensification of drought on ecosystem functioning remains ... -
Forest carbon management strategies influence storage compartmentalization in Nothofagus antarctica forest landscapes
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2023-10)Silvopastoral systems are one of the strategies proposed to manage natural forests in southern Patagonia for livestock and timber purposes. In the context of climate change, it is necessary to design new management proposals ... -
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 ... -
Landscape variables influence over active restoration strategies of Nothofagus forests degraded by invasive Castor canadensis in Tierra del Fuego
(MDPI, 2021-07-06)North American beavers (Castor canadensis) are responsible for the major changes in the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago, altering riparian forests for the long-term. Passive restoration of the areas affected was ineffective ... -
Leaf wettability, anatomy and ultra-structure of Nothofagus antarctica and N. betuloides grown under a CO2 enriched atmosphere
(Elsevier, 2023-01)Increasing CO2 air concentration may affect wettability, anatomy and ultra-structure of leaves of Patagonian forest species, evergreen and deciduous plants potentially responding differently to such CO2 increases. In this ... -
Modelling soil carbon content in south Patagonia and evaluating changes according to climate, vegetation, desertification and grazing
(2018)In Southern Patagonia, a long-term monitoring network has been established to assess bio-indicators as an early warning of environmental changes due to climate change and human activities. Soil organic carbon (SOC) content ... -
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 ... -
Quality evaluation of Nothofagus pumilio seeds linked to forest management and climatic events
(Springer Nature, 2024-01-23)Forest ecosystems undergo significant transformations due to harvesting and climate fluctuations, emphasizing the critical role of seeding in natural regeneration and long‑term structural preservation. Climate change further ... -
