Differential responses of soil microorganisms to precipitation changes in austral semiarid grasslands
(Elsevier, 2023-06)Global climate models predict that precipitation regimes will change, generating great impacts on various ecosystem processes and functions. Therefore, it is important to know how drought and precipitation increases would ... -
Foliar N⁄ P ratio and nutrient limitation to vegetation growth on Keerqin sandy grassland of North-east China.
(Wiley, 2011-02-01)To examine whether the critical leaf N ⁄ P ratios (of 14, 16) are valid to test nutrient limitation in the context of semi-arid sandy grasslands, an experiment was conducted on a Keerqin sandy grassland in North-east China ... -
Holistic versus continuous grazing in Patagonia: A station-scale case study of plant and animal production
(Elsevier, 2021-01)We compared animal and vegetation responses of a 13 600-ha area under holistic grazing management (HGM) with a similar area under continuous grazing (CGM) in a Patagonian station. Limitations were a dry 2012 −2016 experimental ... -
Mineral fertilization impacts microbial activity and endophytic fungi but not microbial biomass in semiarid grasslands
(Elsevier, 2024-01)Applications of mineral fertilizer to grasslands have become more frequent in recent decades to increase forage production. However, the impacts of mineral fertilizer on the soil microbiome is poorly understood in cold ... -
Precipitation is the key determinant of topsoil δ15N values in southern Patagonia’s semiarid rangelands
(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 ... -
Soil respiration in Patagonian semiarid grasslands under contrasting environmental and use conditions
(Elsevier, 2015-08)Grasslands comprise 85% of Southern Patagonia land area and play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. We evaluated seasonal dynamics to identify differences in soil respiration rates between contrasting grasslands ...
