A Key Interaction Behind the Scenes: Dung Beetles in Livestock Production from Arid and Semi-Arid Rangelands
(Springer, 2024-02)Pastoralism is a dominant agricultural activity in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The interaction between coprophagous insects and livestock is a key but an undervalued topic in rangeland management decisions. The objective ... -
Arid and semiarid rangeland responses to non-stationary temporal dynamics of environmental drivers
(Elsevier, 2022-08)Temporal ecology is a growing research field aimed at understanding how temporal dynamics structure ecological systems in a changing environment. Ecosystems are exposed to accelerating environmental changes —mainly driven ... -
Controversies and Common Ground in Wild and Domestic Fine Fiber Production in Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03)This work analyzes possible obstacles to developing new products or old merchandise using an innovative method. It will look into stakeholders of fine fiber and meat products from three distinctive socioecological systems. ... -
Ecosystem services and disservices associated with pastoral systems from Patagonia, Argentina –A review
(EDP Sciences, 2021-11-11)Pastoral systems worldwide secure rural livelihoods in the harshest environments on Earth. Their low productivity per area unit or head makes them the subject of much criticism with regard to their environmental impact, ... -
Efecto de los gradientes de pastoreo ovino sobre la vegetación y el suelo en Península Valdés, Patagonia Argentina
(2016-08)La introducción de ganado doméstico provocó modificaciones en la vegetación y en el suelo de la Patagonia extra-andina. Estos cambios alteraron procesos ecosistémicos, aumentaron la desertificación y causaron pérdida de ... -
Grazing and ecosystem service delivery in global drylands
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2022-11-25)Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure, climate, soil properties, and biodiversity may ... -
Grazing intensity levels influence C reservoirs of wet and mesic meadows along a precipitation gradient in Northern Patagonia
(Springer, 2015-06)Wet meadows are important ecosystems for forage production and as carbon reservoirs in semi-arid areas. In Patagonia, Argentina, large areas of wet meadows have been classified as overgrazed by livestock. The objective of ... -
Implications of landscape configuration on understory forage productivity: a remote sensing assessment of native forests openings
(Springer, 2021-08)Sound management of native forests used for cattle grazing requires understanding the dynamics of forage productivity in the openings. Despite their importance, forage productivity drivers in highly heterogeneous forested ... -
Long-term grazing negatively affects nitrogen dynamics in Northern Patagonian wet meadows
(Elsevier, 2014-10)Wet meadows are seasonally saturated wetlands that can develop in arid and semi-arid areas. In the semi-arid region of North Patagonia, Argentina wet meadows are islands of high net primary productivity surrounded by low ... -
Short-term energy supplementation before lambing improves maternal behaviour, udder volume, colostrum viscosity and lamb birthweight in ewes under extensive grazing
(Elsevier, 2023-02)The aim of the present experiment was to evaluate the effect of short-term energy supplementation before lambing on maternal and lamb behaviour and colostrum production in a large-scale trial in Merino sheep under extensive ...
