Afforestations and wetlands, are they a good combination? Study of water fluxes in two cases of Patagonian wetlands
(Wiley, 2015-04)Wetlands are ecosystems that play a key role in maintaining biodiversity and associated economies (e.g. agriculture and livestock) because they are reservoirs of water and carbon. Globally, these environments have been ... -
Archetypal classification of vegetation dynamics of a humid subtropical forest region from North-East Argentina
(Elsevier, 2023-04)With the aim of studying the primary productivity dynamics of subtropical forests with different degrees of intervention or change due to human intervention, we classify the ecosystems of an area in northeastern Argentina, ... -
Economic costs of invasive non-native species in urban areas: an underexplored financial drain
(Elsevier, 2024-03)Urbanization is an important driver of global change associated with a set of environmental modifications that affect the introduction and distribution of invasive non-native species (species with populations transported ... -
Ecosystemic structural–functional approach of the state and transition model
(Wiley, 2011-02)Objective: To contribute to the integration of key ecological concepts such as dynamic equilibrium, critical threshold, resistance and resilience to the ‘State and Transition Model’ (STM), in order to apply them in a more ... -
Evaluating the performance of multiple remote sensing indices to predict the spatial variability of ecosystem structure and functioning in Patagonian steppes
(2013-11)Assessing the spatial variability of ecosystem structure and functioning is an important step towards developing monitoring systems to detect changes in ecosystem attributes that could be linked to desertification processes ... -
Half a century of changes in the riverine landscape of Limay River: the origin of a riparian neoecosystem in Patagonia (Argentina)
(Springer, 2016-06)Our study aims to determine the dynamic that led to the spread of exotic Salicaceae on the Limay River floodplain and its implications in shaping the current neoecosystem. We used images obtained by the HRG sensor on board ... -
Información científica clave para la gestión y conservación del ecosistema biocultural del Pewén en Chile y Argentina = Relevant scientific information for management and conservation of the Pewen biocultural ecosystem in Chile and Argentina
(Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Austral de Chile, 2023-05)El bosque de Araucaria araucana (“pewén” en lengua Mapuche), con sus especies asociadas del género Nothofagus, es singular desde el punto de vista evolutivo, biológico y sociocultural. Por la interdependencia con el pueblo ... -
Lexical analysis improves the identification of contextual drivers and farm typologies in the assessment of transitions to agroecology through TAPE – A case study from rural Nicaragua
(Elsevier, 2023-06)CONTEXT: The Tool for Agroecological Performance Evaluation (TAPE) has been developed to assess the degree of transition to agroecology (Step 1) and the agroecological performance (Step 2) of family farms. However, while ... -
Linking ecosystem resistance, resilience, and stability in steppes of North Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2013-01)The main objective of an ecosystem sustainable management is to preserve its capacity to respond and adapt to current disturbances and/or future changes, and maintain the provision of environmental goods and services. Two ... -
Managing Socio‐Ecological Systems to Achieve Sustainability: A Study of Resilience and Robustness
(Wiley, 2013-02)Growing symptoms of the mismanagement of socio‐ecological systems (SESs) show that the long‐term existence of these systems is threatened. SES management improvement is the aim of many policy measures. But how successful ... -
Manejo de Bosques con Ganadería Integrada en Patagonia argentina: ajuste metodológico para la determinación de la línea de base en ecosistemas complejos y paisajes heterogéneos = Forest Management with Integrated Livestock in Argentine Patagonia: methodological adjustment for determining the baseline in complex ecosystems and heterogeneous landscapes
(Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Austral de Chile, 2023-05)El Manejo del Bosque con Ganadería Integrada (MBGI) es una propuesta técnica que se basa en el manejo de los componentes forestal, ganadero, forrajero y ambiental, articulada como un plan predial factible de implementar. ... -
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 ... -
Relationships between land-use intensity, woody species diversity, and carbon storage in an arid woodland ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2023-02)Forest ecosystems play a key role in providing multiple ecosystem services, such as carbon fixation and storage, but face pressures from human development that jeopardize their integrity and functioning. Accurately ... -
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 ... -
Should tree invasions be used in treeless ecosystems to mitigate climate change?
(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 ... -
Structural–functional approach to identify post-disturbance recovery indicators in forests from northwestern Patagonia: a tool to prevent state transitions
(Elsevier, 2015-05)The disruption of the natural post-disturbance recovery process, either by changes in disturbance regime or by another disturbance, can trigger transitions to alternative degraded states. In a scenario of high disturbance ... -
Tensiones entre conservación de ecosistemas y desarrollo territorial: hacia un abordaje socioecológico en las Ciencias Agropecuarias
(Editorial Potificia Universidad Javeriana, 2018-06)Las ciencias agropecuarias constituyen un vínculo académico entre sociología y ecología. Actualmente, existe la predominancia de una perspectiva tecnocrática orientada a aumentar la productividad y la eficiencia, con una ... -
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 ... -
Vegetation structure is as important as climate for explaining ecosystem function across Patagonian rangelands
(2014-11)1. Drylands cover about 41% of Earth’s land surface, and 65% of their area supports domestic livestock that depends on the above-ground net primary productivity (ANPP) of natural vegetation. Thus, understanding how biotic ...
