Above- and below-ground nutrient tissue concentration and leaf pigment changes in Patagonian woody seedlings grown under light and soil moisture gradients
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-10-28)To understand the ecophysiology of natural regeneration above- and below-ground nutrient tissue concentration and leaf pigment changes in Nothofagus pumilio (lenga) seedlings grown in three light intensities (4%, 26% and ... -
BAAD: A biomass and allometry database for woody plants.
(Ecological Society of America, 2015-05-01)Understanding how plants are constructed—i.e., how key size dimensions and the amount of mass invested in different tissues varies among individuals—is essential for modeling plant growth, carbon stocks, and energy fluxes ... -
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 ... -
Biomasa y respiración microbiana : respuesta ante cambios en la humedad del suelo en la Estepa Magallánica Seca de Santa Cruz, Argentina
(Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia Austral (UNPA), 2020-11-17)El carbono y el nitrógeno de la biomasa microbiana (CBM y NBM) del suelo son bioindicadores que tienen el potencial de mostrar cambios en el suelo de los ecosistemas, y están condicionados por la humedad disponible en el ... -
Biomass, carbon and nutrient storage for dominant grasses of cold temperate steppe grasslands in southern Patagonia, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2010-01)We hypothesized that different dominant grasses species display contrasting nutrient accumulation, allocation and conservation strategies. Also, we expect a distinctive pattern of carbon and biomass partitioning according ... -
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 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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Estimates of soil carbon concentration in tropical and temperate forest and woodland from available GIS data on three continents
