Primary production of lowland natural grasslands and upland sown pastures across a narrow climatic gradient
(2017-04)Variation in aboveground net primary production (ANPP) is usually studied across wide environmental gradients focusing on spatial averages of zonal natural communities. We studied the spatial and temporal variation of ANPP ... -
Reserva provincial de Punta Gruesa, Santa Cruz: base para su conservación y manejo
(Secretaría de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sustentable (SAyDS) de Nación-INTA, 2012)La Reserva Provincial Punta Gruesa (Meseta de Latorre, zona de 28 de Noviembre, Santa Cruz) fue creada a través de la promulgación de la Ley Nº 2637 del año 2002, de acuerdo a los términos de la Ley Nº 786. Si bien en el ... -
Reserva Provincial Punta Gruesa: Una Mirada al bosque nativo y los pastizales naturales
(Ediciones Secretaria de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sustentable – INTA, 2013-07-19)Este libro brinda una mirada sobre aspectos del Bosque Nativo y los Pastizales Naturales de la Reserva Provincial de Punta Gruesa de la provincia de Santa Cruz. Su elaboración se desprende de un trabajo multidisciplinario ... -
Revisiting sampling duration to estimate N2O emission factors for manure application and cattle excreta deposition for the UK and Ireland
(Elsevier, 2022-08-29)According to the available guidelines, good practices for calculating nitrous oxide (N2O) emission factors (EFs) for livestock excreta and manure application include that sampling duration should be of at least one year ... -
Soil salinization in Patagonian meadows with different grassland condition
(2018-08)Patagonian meadows (locally named “mallines”) are wetlands that develop in the lower parts of the landscape, were runoff water accumulates, and organic and humid soils appear, contrasting with the surrounding steppe. An ... -
Spatial and temporal variation of primary production of Patagonian wet meadows
(Elsevier, 2010-10)In extra-Andean Patagonia, wet meadows contrast with the prevailing arid steppes, and present a gradient of water availability from the periphery to the center. The objectives of this paper are to describe the spatial and ... -
Spatial heterogeneity in species composition constrains plant community responses to herbivory and fertilisation
(Wiley, 2018-09)Environmental change can result in substantial shifts in community composition. The associated immigration and extinction events are likely constrained by the spatial distribution of species. Still, studies on environmental ... -
The allocation of assimilated carbon to shoot growth: in situ assessment in natural grasslands reveals nitrogen effects and interspecific differences
(2014-04)In grasslands, sustained nitrogen loading would increase the proportion of assimilated carbon allocated to shoot growth (A shoot), because it would decrease allocation to roots and also encourage the contribution of species ... -
The positive effect of plant diversity on soil carbon depends on climate
(Springer Nature, 2023-10-19)Little is currently known about how climate modulates the relationship between plant diversity and soil organic carbon and the mechanisms involved. Yet, this knowledge is of crucial importance in times of climate change ... -
Total and aboveground radiation use efficiency in C3 and C4 grass species influenced by nitrogen and water availability
(Wiley; Japanese Society of Grassland Science, 2015-09)Absorbed solar radiation and radiation use efficiency (RUE) can be used to estimate net primary productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. In ecosystems dominated by grasses, belowground productivity cannot be neglected in ... -
Trade-offs between management and conservation for the provision of ecosystem services in the southern Patagonian forests.
(Burleigh Dodds, 2020)Forests provide critical ecosystem services for human well-being; however, some ecosystem services are more valued (e.g. provisioning services) than others (e.g. regulating or supporting services). Temperate regions contain ... -
Tree invasion in secondary grasslands diminishes herbaceous biomass and diversity: A study of mechanisms behind the process
(Wiley, 2021-08-21)Woody plant invasion in grasslands is a global problem widely reported during the last decade (Browning et al. 2008; Van Auken 2009; Simberloff et al. 2010; Vilà et al. 2011; Archer et al. 2017). This process involves the ... -
Two decades of land cover mapping in the Rio de la Plata grassland region: The mapBiomas Pampa initiative
(Elsevier, 2022-09-08)The Río de la Plata Grasslands (RPG) region is the largest area of the temperate humid and subhumid grasslands biome in South America and one of the largest in the world. The region is located on fertile soils, generally ... -
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 ... -
Variation of grazing‐induced vegetation changes across a large‐scale productivity gradient
(Wiley, 2014-01)Questions: Does the magnitude of grazing‐induced changes in species composition vary with habitat productivity? How does the sign and magnitude of grazing effects on species richness and beta‐diversity change with increasing ... -
Vegetation type mapping in Southern Patagonia and its relationship with ecosystem services, soil carbon stock, and biodiversity
(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), ... -
What Factors Control the Crude Protein Content Variation of a Basaltic “Campos” Native Grassland of South America?
(MDPI, 2022-08)Native grasslands are the main source of food for livestock in the Campos region of South America. These forage resources are heterogeneous in species composition, grazing management, and soil fertility within a context ...
