• A fungal endophyte of a palatable grass affects preference of large herbivores 

      Hernández Agramonte, Ignacio M.; Semmartin, María Gisela; Omacini, Marina; Durante, Martin; Gundel, Pedro Emilio; De Battista, Jose Pedro (2018-04)
      Temperate grasses frequently acquire resistance to herbivores through a symbiosis with epichloid fungi that produces alkaloids of variable deterrent effects. However, in those cases without apparent endophyte negative ...
    • A MODIS based tool to assess inundation patterns: an example for the Paraná Delta River 

      Durante, Martin; Di Bella, Carlos Marcelo (Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DG-SICyP, INTA, 2020-04)
      Wetlands are one of the most productive yet altered ecosystems due to human activities across the world. They rely largely on their water flow to provide several ecosystem functions. Then, to develop a land use plan that ...
    • Beef Cattle Grazing Native Grasslands May Follow Three Different Supplement Response Patterns 

      Cazzuli, Fiorella; Durante, Martin; Hirigoyen, Andrés; Sánchez, Javier; Rovira, Pablo; Beretta, Virginia; Simeone, Alvaro; Jaurena, Martín; Savian, Jean Víctor; Poppi, Dennis; Montossi, Fabio; Lagomarsino, Ximena; Luzardo, Santiago; Brito, Gustavo; Velazco, José Ignacio; Lattanzi, Fernando Alfredo; Bremm, Carolina (MDPI, 2023-08-07)
      Previous studies on winter supplementation of growing cattle grazing stockpiled native Campos grasslands suggest that forage allowance (FA), herbage mass, and weather conditions before and during the supplementation period ...
    • Estimating overnight weight loss of corralled yearling steers in semiarid rangeland 

      Durante, Martin; Irisarri, Jorge Gonzalo Nicolás; Derner, Justin D.; Reeves, Justin L.; Mortenson, Matthew C.; West, Mark (2016)
      A common practice for assessing livestock weight gains from grazing animals on rangelands is to confine animals overnight without feed or water to reduce variation in weight loss and percent shrink. Advances in remote ...
    • Primary production of lowland natural grasslands and upland sown pastures across a narrow climatic gradient 

      Durante, Martin; Piñeiro, Gervasio; Oesterheld, Martin; Irisarri, Jorge Gonzalo Nicolás (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 ...
    • Remotely Sensed Spatiotemporal Variation in Crude Protein of Shortgrass Steppe Forage 

      Irisarri, Jorge Gonzalo Nicolás; Durante, Martin; Derner, Justin D.; Oesterheld, Martin; Augustine, David J. (MDPI, 2022-02)
      In the Great Plains of central North America, sustainable livestock production is dependent on matching the timing of forage availability and quality with animal intake demands. Advances in remote sensing technology provide ...
    • Using APAR to Predict Aboveground Plant Productivity in Semi-Arid Rangelands: Spatial and Temporal Relationships Differ 

      Gaffney, Rowan; Porensky, Lauren M.; Feng, Gao; Irisarri, Jorge Gonzalo Nicolás; Durante, Martin; Derner, Justin D.; Augustine, David J. (2018)
      Monitoring of aboveground net primary production (ANPP) is critical for effective management of rangeland ecosystems but is problematic due to the vast extent of rangelands globally, and the high costs of ground-based ...
    • What Factors Control the Crude Protein Content Variation of a Basaltic “Campos” Native Grassland of South America? 

      Núñez, Laura; Hirigoyen, Andrés; Durante, Martin; Arroyo, José María; Cazzuli, Fiorella; Bremm, Carolina; Jaurena, Martín (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 ...
