• Pine plantations and invasion alter fuel structure and potential fire behavior in a patagonian forest-steppe ecotone 

      Paritsis, Juan; Landesmann, Jennifer Brenda; Kitzberger, Thomas; Tiribelli, Florencia; Sasal, Yamila; Quintero, Carolina; Dimarco, Romina Daniela; Barrios Garcia Moar, Maria Noelia; Iglesias, Aimee L.; Diez, Juan Pablo; Sarasola, Mauro Miguel; Nuñez, Martin Andres (2018-03-03)
      Planted and invading non-native plant species can alter fire regimes through changes in fuel loads and in the structure and continuity of fuels, potentially modifying the flammability of native plant communities. Such ...
    • Should tree invasions be used in treeless ecosystems to mitigate climate change? 

      Nuñez, Martin Andrés; Davis, Kimberley T.; Dimarco, Romina Daniela; Peltzer, Duane A.; Paritsis, Juan; Maxwell, Bruce D.; Pauchard, Aníbal (The Ecological Society of America, 2021)
      Intentionally allowing or promoting invasion by non-native trees into areas characterized by treeless vegetation could contribute to climate-change mitigation by increasing carbon (C) sequestration. In some areas of the ...
    • Temperature and host plant species affect the performance and immunocompetence of an outbreak defoliator in northwestern Patagonia 

      Serra, Maria Noel; Quintero, Carolina; Rodriguez Cabal, Mariano Alberto; Martinez Von Ellrich, Andres Santiago; Paritsis, Juan (Royal Entomological Society, 2022-03)
      1. Rising temperature has been associated with increased occurrence of herbivorous insect outbreaks, explained by several direct and indirect mechanisms. Whereas natural enemies are known key drivers of forest-defoliating ...
    • Unintended consequences of planting native and non-native trees in treeless ecosystems to mitigate climate change 

      Moyano, Jaime; Dimarco, Romina Daniela; Paritsis, Juan; Peterson, Tess; Peltzer, Duane A.; Crawford, Kerri M.; McCary, Matthew A.; Davis, Kimberley T.; Pauchard, Aníbal; Nuñez, Martin Andrés (Wiley, 2024-03)
      Naturally treeless ecosystems are being replaced by native and non-native trees worldwide, often through deliberate afforestation using forestry tree species. By introducing species having novel traits, such as relatively ...
