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 ... -
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 ... -
Isotopic evidence for oligotrophication of terrestrial ecosystems
(Springer Nature, 2018)Human societies depend on an Earth system that operates within a constrained range of nutrient availability, yet the recent trajectory of terrestrial nitrogen (N) availability is uncertain. Examining patterns of foliar N ... -
Land sharing in South Patagonia: Conservation of above-ground beetle diversity in forests and non-forest ecosystems
(Elsevier, 2019-11)Land-sharing strategies, as variable retention silvicultural proposals, are useful to mitigate harmful effects of economic activities on forest biodiversity; benefits have been reported worldwide for several organisms. ... -
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. ... -
Potential biodiversity map of understory plants for Nothofagus forests in Southern Patagonia: Analyses of landscape, ecological niche and conservation values
(Elsevier, 2019-09)The role of understory plants in native forests is critical for ecosystem function, wildlife protection and ecosystem productivity. The interest to estimate biodiversity increased during the last decades at landscape level. ... -
Soil microbial communities respond to an environmental gradient of grazing intensity in south Patagonia Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020)Soil microorganisms communities regulate key functions in terrestrial ecosystems and contributes to the formation of stable organic matter and hence climate change mitigation. The structure, diversity and activity of soil ... -
Spatial heterogeneity in species composition constrains plant community responses to herbivory and fertilisation
(Wiley, 2018-09)Environmental change can result in substantial shifts in community composition. The associated immigration and extinction events are likely constrained by the spatial distribution of species. Still, studies on environmental ... -
State and transition model approach in native forests of Southern Patagonia (Argentina): linking ecosystem services, thresholds and resilience
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-04)The sustainable use of ñire forests requires knowledge of its dynamics and management to maintain long-term main forest ecosystem services. The aim of this work was to develop a structural–functional state and transition ... -
Why biodiversity increases after variable retention harvesting: A meta-analysis for southern Patagonian forests
(2016-06-01)Effects of forest harvesting on biodiversity can be varied and complex to understand. We provide a meta-analysis of 553 studies plants, insects and birds to identify the general responses to Variable Retention harvesting ...
