Grazing intensity levels influence C reservoirs of wet and mesic meadows along a precipitation gradient in Northern Patagonia
(Springer, 2015-06)Wet meadows are important ecosystems for forage production and as carbon reservoirs in semi-arid areas. In Patagonia, Argentina, large areas of wet meadows have been classified as overgrazed by livestock. The objective of ... -
Is forage productivity of meadows influenced by the afforestation of upstream hillsides? A study in NW Patagonia
(2011)Meadows are important reserves of water, with a key role in the maintenance of the biodiversity and productivity of ecosystems. In Patagonia, Argentina, afforestation with fast-growing exotic conifers has slowly but ... -
Long-term grazing negatively affects nitrogen dynamics in Northern Patagonian wet meadows
(Elsevier, 2014-10)Wet meadows are seasonally saturated wetlands that can develop in arid and semi-arid areas. In the semi-arid region of North Patagonia, Argentina wet meadows are islands of high net primary productivity surrounded by low ... -
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 ...
