Nitrogen but not phosphorus addition affects symbiotic N2 fixation by legumes in natural and semi‑natural grasslands located on four continents
(Springer Nature, 2022-09)The amount of nitrogen (N) derived from symbiotic N2 fixation by legumes in grasslands might be affected by anthropogenic N and phosphorus (P) inputs, but the underlying mechanisms are not known. Methods We evaluated ... -
Relación entre índices de sequía usando datos meteorológicos y satelitales, en la estepa magallánica seca (Patagonia)
(Facultad de Ciencias Económicas, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2022-04)Los efectos de la sequía impactan en el sector productivo de las distintas regiones, incidiendo en la vegetación, la disponibilidad de agua y las consecuencias que ello ocasiona, por lo que resulta de interés el estudio ... -
Co-limitation toward lower latitudes shapes global forest diversity gradients
(Springer Nature, 2022-08-08)The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most recognized global patterns of species richness exhibited across a wide range of taxa. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed in the past two centuries to explain ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Flowering and seeding patterns in primary, secondary and silvopastoral managed Nothofagus antarctica forests in South Patagonia
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-06-11)The success ofthe reproductive process in trees depends on abiotic and biotic factors that determine the final outcome of natural regeneration. Silviculture alters biotic and abiotic factors and results in secondary forest ... -
Carbon accumulation along a stand development sequence of Nothofagus antarctica forests across a gradient in site quality in Southern Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2010-06-25)Above- and below-ground C pools were measured in pure even-aged stands of Nothofagus antarctica (Forster f.) Oersted at different ages (5–220 years), crown and site classes in the Patagonian region. Mean tissue C concentration ... -
Putting plant resistance traits on the map: a test of the idea that plants are better defended at lower latitudes
(Wiley, 2011-05-03)It has long been believed that plant species from the tropics have higher levels of traits associated with resistance to herbivores than do species from higher latitudes. A meta-analysis recently showed that the published ... -
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 ... -
Do light and alfalfa responses to cloth and slatted shade represent those measured under an agroforestry system?
(Springer Nature, 2011-02)Shade cloth is commonly used in agroforestry research. It produces a continuous, uniform reduced light environment. Shade cloth and a slatted structure were compared in relation to the inability to represent the light ... -
Canopy structure analysis for estimating forest regeneration dynamics and growth in Nothofagus pumilio forests
(Springer, 2011-04-08)Introduction Silviculture systems applied in Nothofagus pumilio forests are based on opening the canopy to stimulate natural regeneration by modifying light and soil moisture. The objective is to evaluate regeneration ... -
Evaluación de la sustentabilidad de un sistema productivo familiar: aplicación de un set de indicadores adaptados a la provincia de Santa Cruz
(Ediciones INTA, 2022-08)Para que un sistema productivo sea considerado sustentable, este debe ser factible de satisfacer sus necesidades actuales, sin comprometer la posibilidad de satisfacer las necesidades de las generaciones futuras. En la ... -
Tallo: A global tree allometry and crown architecture database
(Wiley, 2022-08-01)Data capturing multiple axes of tree size and shape, such as a tree's stem diameter, height and crown size, underpin a wide range of ecological research—from developing and testing theory on forest structure and dynamics, ... -
Photosynthetic response to different light intensities, water status and leaf age of two Berberis species (Berberidaceae) of Patagonia steppe, Argentina.
(Elsevier, 2011-11)Net photosynthetic rate (A) and stomatal conductance (gs) from leaves of Berberis buxifolia and Berberis heterophylla saplings were measured under different conditions of radiation and water availability and for leaves of ... -
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 ... -
Environmental variables influencing regeneration of Nothofagus pumilio in a system with combined aggregated and dispersed retention
(Elsevier, 2011-01-01)The current silvicultural prescriptions for Nothofagus are designed to stimulate natural regeneration by opening the canopy. One of these methods is variable retention, which can include either or both aggregated and ... -
Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope composition in plant and soil in Southern Patagonia’s native forests.
