Changes in soil organic matter associated with afforestation affect erosion processes: the case of erodible volcanic soils from Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2021-06-17)Large areas of the Patagonian Andean Region with high potential for planting fast-growing exotic conifers, based on the volcanic nature of its soils, are affected by erosion processes. This study aimed to analyse the effects ... -
Effects of dietary supplementation on vegetation cover and its defoliation by sheep in extensive husbandry
(Elsevier, 2022-06-06)Dietary supplementation is one of the most used strategies to reduce the effect of environmental fluctuations in arid and semi-arid environments. We evaluated changes in vegetation and in patterns of animal defoliation as ... -
Human appropriation of net primary production related to livestock provisioning ecosystem services in Southern Patagonia
(MDPI, 2022-06-22)Human appropriation of net primary productivity (HANPP) integrates ecological and socioeconomic perspectives on land use by quantifying the amount of net primary production (NPP) appropriated by society through biomass ... -
Monitoring drylands: The MARAS system
(Elsevier, 2018-11-09)MARAS (Monitoring of Arid and Semiarid Regions) consists of 379 ground monitors in Patagonia, a 624.500 km2 semiarid area of southern Argentina and Chile. The objective of this paper was to describe the system and analyze ... -
Precipitation is the key determinant of topsoil δ15N values in southern Patagonia’s semiarid rangelands
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2022-02-11)Nitrogen (N) cycling in rangeland soils could potentially be controlled by water supply, stocking rates, or a range of other variables, such as ecosystem N stocks. To gauge the relative importance and elucidate possible ... -
Remotely‐sensed primary productivity shows that domestic and native herbivores combined are overgrazing Patagonia
(Wiley; British Ecological Society, 2019-04)1.Carrying capacity is the maximum animal density an area can sustain without deterioration of its resources. Overgrazing has degraded Patagonia, but sheep stocks decreased and gave way to mixed systems with cattle, goats ... -
Soil erodibility and quality of volcanic soils as affected by pine plantations in degraded rangelands of NW Patagonia
(2016-08)NW Patagonia in Argentina has high potential for planting fast-growing exotic conifers, supported by its volcanic soils. Nonetheless, many aspects related to the effects of pine plantations on soil are still unknown. We ... -
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), ...
