Habitat use by carnivores at different spatial scales in a plantation forest landscape in Patagonia, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2012-04)Forest plantations are an increasingly important source of industrial wood around the world, and the design and management of plantations can greatly influence the relationship with wildlife. The aim of this study was to ... -
Influences of pine plantations on small mammal assemblages of the Patagonian forest-steppe ecotone
(De Gruyter, 2011-08)The management of forested landscapes for biodiversity conservation is increasingly recognized as an important objective in Argentina. However, pine plantations are being established replacing native pristine or human ... -
Micro-Environmental Variation in Soil Microbial Biodiversity in Forest Frontier Ecosystems—Implications for Sustainability Assessments
(MDPI, 2024-02)Soil health indicators based on microbial biodiversity are increasingly used in agricultural sustainability assessments. However, little is known about how microbial communities vary within micro-environmental gradients ... -
Predicting the distribution of plant species from southern South America: are the hotspots of genetic diversity threatened by climate change?
(Springer, 2024-01)Biodiversity in all its dimensions is being threatened by climate change and the impact of human activities. Genetic diversity is a key dimension of biodiversity underlying adaptation to global changes. Here we assess the ... -
Role and management of soil biodiversity for food security and nutrition; where do we stand?
(Elsevier, 2019-03)Soils host diverse communities that support and regulate ecosystem functions, thereby affecting plant production and resource use efficiencies. There is increasing evidence that agricultural intensification affects soil ... -
Severity of impacts of an introduced species corresponds with regional eco‐evolutionary experience
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-09)Invasive plant impacts vary widely across introduced ranges. We tested the hypothesis that differences in the eco-evolutionary experience of native communities with the invader correspond with the impacts of invasive species ... -
Soil bacterial biodiversity characterization by flow cytometry: The bottleneck of cell extraction from soil
(Wiley, 2022-07)The importance of soil biodiversity is increasingly recognized in agriculture and natural resource research and development. Yet, traditional soil biodiversity assessments are costly and time-consuming, limiting the extent ... -
Think globally, measure locally: The MIREN standardized protocol for monitoring plant species distributions along elevation gradients
(Wiley, 2022-02)Climate change and other global change drivers threaten plant diversity in mountains worldwide. A widely documented response to such environmental modifications is for plant species to change their elevational ranges. Range ... -
Use and management of biodiversity by smallholder farmers in semi-arid West Africa
(Elsevier, 2018-09)Strategies that strengthen and use biodiversity are crucial for sustained food production and livelihoods in semiarid West Africa. The objective of this paper was to examine the role of biodiversity in sustaining diverse ...
