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 ... -
Relationship between NDVI of Patches and Cover Area of Grasses, Shrubs and Bare Soil Components of a Semi-Arid Steppe from North-West Patagonia, Argentina
(MDPI, 2023-02)Distinguishing the contributions of different vegetation cover such as shrubs and grasses components into the primary production in arid and semi-arid rangelands is a key step to understanding changes at a landscape scale. ... -
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 ...
