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 ... -
Change in functional trait diversity mediates the effects of nutrient addition on grassland stability
(British Ecological Society, 2024-09-02)1. Nutrient enrichment impacts grassland plant diversity such as species richness, functional trait composition and diversity, but whether and how these changes affect ecosystem stability in the face of increasing climate ... -
Changes in forest structure modify understory and livestock occurrence along the natural cycle and different management strategies in Nothofagus antarctica forests
(Springer Nature, 2022-08-17)Sustainable forest management is proposed as a solution for many ecological and socioeconomic trade-offs associated with different forest uses. In Patagonia, silvopastoral systems were proposed to balance provisioning ... -
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 ... -
Conservation value and ecosystem service provision of Nothofagus antarctica forests based on phenocluster categories
(Springer Nature, 2025-01-20)Traditional approaches of forest classifications were based on tree species composition, but recently combine phenology and climate to characterise functional (cyclic and seasonal greenness) rather than structural or ... -
Current trends in silvopastoral systems
(Springer Nature, 2024-10-26)In Latin America, SPS are practiced in various ecosystems in humid and dry broadleaved forests, temperate forests, tropical and subtropical coniferous forests, and savannas. These ecosystems range from sea level up to> ... -
Evenness mediates the global relationship between forest productivity and richness
(British Ecological Society, 2023-06-07)1. Biodiversity is an important component of natural ecosystems, with higher species richness often correlating with an increase in ecosystem productivity. Yet, this relationship varies substantially across environments, ... -
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 ... -
Institutional challenges in putting ecosystem service knowledge in practice
(Elsevier, 2018-02)The promise that ecosystem service assessments will contribute to better decision-making is not yet proven. We analyse how knowledge on ecosystem services is actually used to inform land and water management in 22 case ... -
Lamb and wool provisioning ecosystem services in Southern Patagonia
(MDPI, 2021-07-30)In Southern Patagonia, grasslands are the principal food resource for sheep reared for meat and wool as the main provisioning ecosystem services (ES). The main objective of this study was to model lamb and wool production ... -
Manejo de Bosques con Ganadería Integrada (MBGI) en Argentina
(INIA (Uruguay), 2022-01)La mayor parte de los bosques nativos en Argentina cuentan con ganadería. En este contexto, en 2015 se firma el Convenio Marco Interinstitucional entre los actuales Ministerios de Agroindustria y el de Ambiente y Desarrollo ... -
Remotely‐sensed primary productivity shows that domestic and native herbivores combined are overgrazing Patagonia
(Wiley; British Ecological Society, 2019-04)1.Carrying capacity is the maximum animal density an area can sustain without deterioration of its resources. Overgrazing has degraded Patagonia, but sheep stocks decreased and gave way to mixed systems with cattle, goats ... -
Seed fall and leaf litter relationships in Nothofagus pumilio forests: changes according to retention levels and years after harvesting
(Springer, 2023-04)Seed fall and leaf litter influence forest regeneration, nutrient cycling, and other key ecological processes closely related to forest management. In Patagonian forests, variation of both managed and unmanaged forests ... -
Soil organic carbon stocks in native forest of Argentina: a useful surrogate for mitigation and conservation planning under climate variability
(Springer Nature, 2024-01-05)Background The nationally determined contribution (NDC) presented by Argentina within the framework of the Paris Agreement is aligned with the decisions made in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on ... -
Spatial patterns of cultural ecosystem services provision in Southern Patagonia
(Springer, 2016-02)Context Although there is a need to develop a spatially explicit methodological approach that addresses the social importance of cultural ecosystem services for regional planning, few studies have analysed the spatial ... -
Stakeholders’ perspectives on the operationalisation of the ecosystem service concept: Results from 27 case studies.
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)The ecosystem service (ES) concept is becoming mainstream in policy and planning, but operational influence on practice is seldom reported. Here, we report the practitioners’ perspectives on the practical implementation ... -
The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project
(Wiley, 2017-01-05)The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples ... -
The number of tree species on Earth
(National Academy of Sciences, 2022-02-08)One of the most fundamental questions in ecology is how many species inhabit the Earth. However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties connected to the species concept definition, ... -
Value of Biodiversity on Patagonian Rangeland: Estimation via a Hedonic Price Index
(Elsevier, 2024-01)Plant diversity has long been linked to an increase in ecosystem productivity and function, but concrete examples in which ecosystem services are linked to diversity at the scale at which management decisions are taken are ...
