Convergence between satellite information and farmers’ perception of drought in rangelands of North-West Patagonia, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-09)Drought is a complex natural hazard with social and environmental implications. Satellite information is increasingly used to support decision-makers in preventing or coping with the negative impacts of drought. The ... -
Coping or adapting strategies? The importance of distinguishing between climatic shift and drought events for proper management of the pastoral systems in Northern Patagonia
(Springer, 2024-02)Drier conditions have been observed in Northern Patagonia, Argentina, in the last decades, affecting the pastoralism production system. In this context, two laws were promoted to foster goat and sheep production. This ... -
Ecophysiological basis of wood formation in ponderosa pine : linking water flux patterns with wood microdensity variables
(2015-06)Climate and stands management have an effect on the process of wood formation via resource availability. To improve knowledge of wood quantity and physical structure, increment cores of ponderosa pine were taken in high- ... -
From traditional knowledge to novel adaptations of transhumant pastoralists the in face of new challenges in North Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2018-10)Transhumant pastoralism is a mobile livelihood strategy in many mountainous, arid and semi-arid regions worldwide. The knowledge of pastoral communities and their lifestyle are strongly rooted in the historical evolution ... -
Functional farm household typologies through archetypal responses to disturbances
(Elsevier, 2020-02)Methods to construct farm household typologies may differ in their approach but they share a common feature: they rely mostly on structural farm data. Methods to build functional typologies are far less abundant. Households ... -
Una herramienta para monitorear sequías en regiones áridas y semiáridas de Patagonia Norte
(Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DNA SICC, INTA, 2012-08)La variabilidad ambiental es una característica de regiones pastoriles áridas y semiáridas, siendo la sequía uno de los principales problemas en sistemas ganaderos extensivos, con implicancias productivas y económicas tanto ... -
Intensity and number of thinning operations affect the response of Eucalyptus grandis to water availability and extreme drought events
(Elsevier, 2023-02)Climate change has induced an increase in the frequency and intensity of droughts and heat waves, reducing growth and increasing the mortality risk of both natural and planted forests. Management practices are expected to ... -
Molecular bases of responses to abiotic stress in trees
(Oxford University Press, 2020-06)Trees are constantly exposed to climate fluctuations, which vary with both time and geographic location. Environmental changes that are outside of the physiological favorable range usually negatively affect plant performance ... -
Optimal automatic enhanced ERA5 daily precipitation data for environmental and agricultural monitoring tools in scarce data regions
(Springer, 2023-11-10)The development of monitoring and early warning tools for environmental and agricultural applications is highly restricted in scarce climate data regions. In particular, precipitation data is a key input for several ... -
Plant species richness and shrub cover attenuate drought effects on ecosystem functioning across Patagonian rangelands
(2014-10-22)Drought is an increasingly common phenomenon in drylands as a consequence of climate change. We used 311 sites across a broad range of environmental conditions in Patagonian rangelands to evaluate how drought severity and ... -
Stand density and drought interaction on water relations of Nothofagus antarctica : contribution of forest management to climate change adaptability
(2011-12)Nothofagus antarctica is the most representative species of the native mixed forest occupying ecotone areas between forests and steppe in NW Patagonia, South-America. In this type of environment, vulnerability to climate ... -
Tracking floristic archetypes of Patagonian steppes
(Wiley, 2024-03)Questions: The classification of plant communities is a well-established practice in ecology. However, the factors that determine the distribution of common species and the extent of their dominance and overlap are still ... -
What is hot in tree rings? The wood density of surviving Douglas-firs to the 2003 drought and heat wave
(Elsevier, 2008-08)In a global warming scenario, drought and heat waves like the one that occurred in 2003 in Europe are expected to become more intense and frequent. This extreme climate event strongly affected the hydraulic balance in many ... -
Wood density proxies of adaptive traits linked with resistance to drought in Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)
(Springer, 2014-10)A comparison of dead and surviving Douglas fir trees following the 2003 drought was made to define proxies of adaptive traits for resistance to drought. Increment cores were sampled from trees from three French regions: ...
