Invasions: the trail behind, the path ahead, and a test of a disturbing idea
(Wiley, 2012-01)We provide a brief overview of progress in our understanding of introduced plant species. Three main conclusions emerge from our review: (i) Many lines of research, including the search for traits that make species good ... -
Landscape configuration modulates the presence of leaf-cutting ants in eucalypt plantations
(Springer Nature, 2023-08)Pest responses to landscape complexity show variable patterns globally, primarily related to species traits and specific managed habitats. Leaf-cutting ants (LCAs) are native insects and important pests of plantation forests ... -
Leaf nutrients, not specific leaf area, are consistent indicators of elevated nutrient inputs
(Nature Research, 2019)Leaf traits are frequently measured in ecology to provide a ‘common currency’ for predicting how anthropogenic pressures impact ecosystem function. Here, we test whether leaf traits consistently respond to experimental ... -
Linking competition with Growth Dominance and production ecology
(2018-04-15)The development of forests over time is influenced by competition for resources among trees, leading to patterns of size hierarchy. These two aspects – competition and size hierarchy – can be examined in conjunction with ... -
Linking species distribution and territorial planning to the management of the endangered Gonopterodendron sarmientoi in native forests of the Chaco region, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2022-06-11)For management and conservation strategies in the long term is necessary to know the species distribution and main biophysical aspects that determine the structure and dynamics of the forest. The aim of this work was to ... -
