Ecosystem services to support environmental and socially sustainable decision-making
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2017-04)The theory of ecosystem services (ES) needs to be operationalized to contribute to practices leading to sustainable use of ecosystems, which includes solving trade-offs between private and public benefits and incorporating ... -
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 ... -
Food habits of Oligoryzomys longicaudatus (Rodentia) in a steppe–forest transitional area of Argentinean Patagonia
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2014)We described the spatial and seasonal variation of feeding habits of Oligoryzomys longicaudatus in four environments of the steppe-forest transition zone of Argentinean Patagonia. Composition of fecal pellets collected ... -
Genetic versus environmental contributions to variation in seedling resprouting in Nothofagus obliqua
(Springer, 2015-04)Resprouting is an almost universal functional trait in temperate angiosperms and confers persistence at an individual level after the loss of above-ground biomass. The importance of genetic versus environmental sources of ... -
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 ... -
Is local best? Examining the evidence for local adaptation in trees and its scale
(2015-10)Background: Although the importance of using local provenance planting stock for woodland production, habitat conservation and restoration remains contentious, the concept is easy to understand, attractive and easy to ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
The sign and magnitude of tree–grass interaction along a global environmental gradient
(2016-12)Aim: The ecological literature posits that positive interactions are preponderant in stressful environments; however, the net balance between positive and negative interactions at the community level is still under debate. ...
