      In ecosystems, soil microbial variables characterization are used to determine soil biological health and the response of soils to environmental stress. Although there are strong associations between plants and soil ...
    • Forage provision is more affected by droughts in arid and semi-arid than in mesic rangelands 

      Bondaruk, Viviana F.; Oñatibia, Gastón Rafael; Fernández, Roberto J.; Agüero, Walter Damian; Blanco, Lisandro Javier; Bruschetti, Martín; Kröpfl, Alicia; Loydi, Alejandro; Pascual, Jesús; Peri, Pablo Luis; Peter, Guadalupe; Quiroga, Raul Emiliano; Yahdjian, Laura (Wiley, 2022-06)
      Droughts are projected to increase in magnitude, frequency and duration in the near future. In rangelands, the provision of valuable ecosystem services such as forage supply for livestock productivity is intimately linked ...
    • Radiation use efficiency of the herbaceous layer of dry Chaco shrublands and woodlands: Spatial and temporal patterns 

      Blanco, Lisandro Javier; Paruelo, José María; Oesterheld, Martin; Agüero, Walter Damian (Wiley, 2022-03)
      Aims: Monitoring rangeland above-ground net primary production (ANPP) requires information on the variation of radiation use efficiency (RUE). We studied the spatial and temporal variations of RUE of the herbaceous layer ...
