Neochelanops michaelseni (Pseudoscorpiones: Chernetidae) as potential bioindicator in managed and unmanaged Nothofagus forests of Tierra del Fuego
(BioOne, 2015-11-01)Bioindicators could act as early warning indicators of environmental changes, ecosystem stress or taxonomic diversity. Pseudoscorpions have rarely been used as bioindicators, due to lack of information about their ecology, ... -
Improving the knowledge of plant potential biodiversity-ecosystem services links using maps at the regional level in Southern Patagonia.
(Springer, 2021-07-22)Background: Biodiversity supports multiple ecosystem services, whereas species loss endangers the provision of many services and affects ecosystem resilience and resistance capacity. The increase of remote sensing techniques ... -
Comment on “Worldwide evidence of a unimodal relationship between productivity and plant species richness”
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2016-01-29)Fraser et al. (Reports, 17 July 2015, p. 302) report a unimodal relationship between productivity and species richness at regional and global scales, which they contrast with the results of Adler et al. (Reports, 23 September ... -
Positive biodiversity-productivity relationship predominant in global forests
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2016-10-14)The biodiversity-productivity relationship (BPR) is foundational to our understanding of the global extinction crisis and its impacts on ecosystem functioning. Understanding BPR is critical for the accurate valuation and ... -
Effects of Climate and Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition on Early to Mid-Term Stage Litter Decomposition Across Biomes
(Frontiers Editorial, 2021-07-14)Litter decomposition is a key process for carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems and is mainly controlled by environmental conditions, substrate quantity and quality as well as microbial community abundance ... -
Producción y calidad de dos variedades de frutilla (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) en hidroponía en Santa Cruz
(Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia Austral, 2021-07-13)El cultivo de frutillas o fresas (Fragaria x ananassa) se encuentra diseminado por el mundo y en Argentina la producción se ha incrementado en los últimos años, incluso en el Sur de Patagonia, donde debido a las condiciones ... -
Desarrollo de un modelo para asignación variable de carga animal (MAVC) en Patagonia Sur
(Fundación CIPAV, 2016-11)El ajuste de la carga animal es un aspecto clave en el manejo del pastoreo extensivo y en Santa Cruz, Argentina se realiza tradicionalmente utilizando una asignación fija de forraje (AFF) por animal, indistintamente si un ... -
Variation in alpine plant diversity and soil temperatures in two mountain landscapes of South Patagonia
(MDPI, 2021-07-08)Alpine environments and their temporal changes are rarely studied at high latitudes in the southern hemisphere. We analyzed alpine plants, soil temperatures, and growing-season length in mountains of two landscapes of South ... -
The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project
(Wiley, 2017-01-05)The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples ... -
Landscape variables influence over active restoration strategies of Nothofagus forests degraded by invasive Castor canadensis in Tierra del Fuego
(MDPI, 2021-07-06)North American beavers (Castor canadensis) are responsible for the major changes in the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago, altering riparian forests for the long-term. Passive restoration of the areas affected was ineffective ... -
Microorganismos del suelo en bosques de ñire en Patagonia Sur: resultados preliminares.
(Instituto Forestal (INFOR), 2017-08)Nothofagus antarctica (ñire) es una especie nativa del bosque andino-patagónico que se extiende desde los 36º 30’ hasta los 56º 00’ LS. Es la segunda especie en importancia de la provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina. En estos ... -
Nueva base de datos reticulada de precipitación para la provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina.
(Centro Argentino de Meteorólogos (CAM), 2021-06-25)La precipitación es una variable esencial para caracterizar el clima y el ciclo hidrológico de una región. Pero a pesar de su importancia, existen vastas regiones, como Patagonia sur, con redes pluviométricas poco densas ... -
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: the SAPFLUXNET database
(Copernicus Publications, 2021-06-14)Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy, and carbon budgets at the land–atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main land evaporative ... -
Stakeholders’ perspectives on the operationalisation of the ecosystem service concept: Results from 27 case studies.
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)The ecosystem service (ES) concept is becoming mainstream in policy and planning, but operational influence on practice is seldom reported. Here, we report the practitioners’ perspectives on the practical implementation ... -
Early stage litter decomposition across biomes
(Elsevier, 2018-02-22)Through litter decomposition enormous amounts of carbon is emitted to the atmosphere. Numerous large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process in order to understand the ... -
Variable retention forestry conserves habitat of bird species in Patagonian Nothofagus pumilio forests
("Marin Drăcea" National Research-Development Institute in Forestry, 2018-12-31)Variable retention is an alternative harvesting system that could be implemented instead the more traditional ones (e.g. shelterwood cut for N. pumilio forests in southern Patagonia), because it was designed not only for ... -
Reply to: Data do not support large-scale oligotrophication of terrestrial ecosystems.
(Springer Nature, 2019-07-22)Hiltbrunner et al. apply a reductionist approach to argue that the evidence for widespread terrestrial oligotrophication2 should be replaced with a two-factor explanation (growth dilution and depositional signatures) that ... -
Climatic controls of decomposition drive the global biogeography of forest tree symbioses
(Springer Nature, 2019-05-15)The identity of the dominant root-associated microbial symbionts in a forest determines the ability of trees to access limiting nutrients from atmospheric or soil pools1,2, sequester carbon3,4 and withstand the effects of ... -
