      Oliva, Gabriel Esteban; Bran, Donaldo Eduardo; Gaitan, Juan Jose; Ferrante, Daniela; Massara Paletto, Virginia; Garcia Martinez, Guillermo Carlos; Adema, Edgardo Osvaldo; Enrique, Mario Luis; Dominguez, Erwin; Paredes, Paula Natalia (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 ...
    • Precipitation is the key determinant of topsoil δ15N values in southern Patagonia’s semiarid rangelands 

      Peri, Pablo Luis; Duarte Guardia, Sandra; Amelung, Wulf; Ladd, Brenton (American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2022-02-11)
      Nitrogen (N) cycling in rangeland soils could potentially be controlled by water supply, stocking rates, or a range of other variables, such as ecosystem N stocks. To gauge the relative importance and elucidate possible ...
    • Remotely‐sensed primary productivity shows that domestic and native herbivores combined are overgrazing Patagonia 

      Oliva, Gabriel Esteban; Paredes, Paula Natalia; Ferrante, Daniela; Cepeda, Carla Tamara; Rabinovich, Jorge Eduardo (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 ...
    • Vegetation type mapping in Southern Patagonia and its relationship with ecosystem services, soil carbon stock, and biodiversity 

      Peri, Pablo Luis; Gaitan, Juan José; Diaz, Boris Gaston; Almonacid, Leandro; Morales, Cristian Gabriel; Ferrer, Francisco; Lasagno, Romina Gisele; Rodríguez‑Souilla, Julián; Martínez Pastur, Guillermo José (MDPI, 2024-02-29)
      Vegetation Type (VT) mapping using Optical Earth observation data is essential for the management and conservation of natural resources, as well as for the evaluation of the supply of provisioning ecosystem services (ESs), ...
