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 ... -
Effect of defoliation frequency on Rytidosperma virescens plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization
(Elsevier, 2022-06-09)Rangelands provide different ecosystem services to satisfy human needs. Although grazing management in southern Patagonia is mostly characterized by extensive continuous grazing, rotational grazing management may improve ... -
Effectiveness of fencing and hunting to control Lama guanicoe browsing damage: Implications for Nothofagus pumilio regeneration in harvested forests
(2016-03-01)Browsing damage by native ungulates is often to be considered one of the reasons of regeneration failure in Nothofagus pumilio silvicultural systems. Fencing and hunting in forests at regeneration phase have been proposed ... -
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 ... -
The effects of land management (grazing intensity) vs. the effects of topography, soil properties, vegetation type, and climate on soil carbon concentration in Southern Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2016-11)Grazing is an economically important activity in Southern Patagonia’s steppe and woodland ecosystems. In the past, emphasis has been on maximizing the provisioning capacity of these ecosystems with little concern for the ... -
Effects of long-term low intensity silviculture and habitat on birds in Nothofagus antarctica forests of south Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2022-04-30)Low intensity silviculture has been used to decrease the impact of forest harvesting, for example, on bird species and structural diversity. The objective of this work was to analyse the long-term effect of thinning on ... -
Environmental Conditions and Grazing Exerted Effects on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal in Plants at Southern Patagonia Rangelands
(Elsevier, 2022-03)Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a major role in maintaining ecosystem functions. AM fungi are found in most ecosystems including rangelands currently under increasing pressures from human activities. Southern Patagonia ... -
Environmental heterogeneity modulates the effect of plant diversity on the spatial variability of grassland biomass
(Springer Nature, 2023-03-31)Plant productivity varies due to environmental heterogeneity, and theory suggests that plant diversity can reduce this variation. While there is strong evidence of diversity effects on temporal variability of productivity, ... -
Environmental variables influencing regeneration of Nothofagus pumilio in a system with combined aggregated and dispersed retention
(Elsevier, 2011-01-01)The current silvicultural prescriptions for Nothofagus are designed to stimulate natural regeneration by opening the canopy. One of these methods is variable retention, which can include either or both aggregated and ... -
Essential Nutrient and Trace Element Foliar Resorption of Two Co-Existing Nothofagus Species Grown Under Different Environmental Conditions in Southern Patagonia
(Frontiers Media, 2019-11)Nutrient resorption is crucial for mineral element conservation and efficiency of forest species, but knowledge on its significance and the mechanisms involved is still limited for most species and habitats. Focusing on ... -
Establecimiento y producción de forraje de cereales de invierno en la patagonia austral
(Asociación Argentina de Producción Animal, 2020-12)Se realizó un ensayo con el objetivo de evaluar el establecimiento y la producción de forraje para henificación de una variedad y líneas de triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack), variedades de trigo pan (Triticum aestivum ... -
Estimates of soil carbon concentration in tropical and temperate forest and woodland from available GIS data on three continents
(2013-04)Aim: Concern about climate change, with the subsequent emergence of carbonmarkets and policy initiatives such as REDD (reducing carbon emissions bydecreasing deforestation and forest degradation), have focused attention ... -
Evaluación de indicadores de degradación y biomasa radical en mallines de una cuenca hídrica del sur de Santa Cruz
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2020)Se planteó un estudio con el objetivo de analizar la asociación entre indicadores de deterioro del suelo y la vegetación, evaluar los cambios de esas variables entre sectores y condiciones de degradación, y monitorear ... -
Evaluación de la calidad nutricional en pasturas de gramíneas perennes relacionada con el estado fenológico y el ambiente en el Sur de Santa Cruz
(Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia Austral, 2022-09-30)En la Patagonia Austral la introducción de pasturas destinadas al uso estratégico en las áreas de mayor potencial representa una alternativa de manejo que permitiría aumentar la productividadde los sistemas ganaderos ... -
Evaluación de la sustentabilidad de un sistema productivo familiar: aplicación de un set de indicadores adaptados a la provincia de Santa Cruz
(Ediciones INTA, 2022-08)Para que un sistema productivo sea considerado sustentable, este debe ser factible de satisfacer sus necesidades actuales, sin comprometer la posibilidad de satisfacer las necesidades de las generaciones futuras. En la ... -
Evenness mediates the global relationship between forest productivity and richness
(British Ecological Society, 2023-06-07)1. Biodiversity is an important component of natural ecosystems, with higher species richness often correlating with an increase in ecosystem productivity. Yet, this relationship varies substantially across environments, ... -
Extreme drought impacts have been underestimated in grasslands and shrublands globally
(National Academy of Sciences (Estados Unidos), 2024-01-08)Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of short-term (~1 y) drought events—the most common duration of drought—globally. Yet the impact of this intensification of drought on ecosystem functioning remains ... -
Flowering and seeding patterns in primary, secondary and silvopastoral managed Nothofagus antarctica forests in South Patagonia
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-06-11)The success ofthe reproductive process in trees depends on abiotic and biotic factors that determine the final outcome of natural regeneration. Silviculture alters biotic and abiotic factors and results in secondary forest ... -
Foliar N⁄ P ratio and nutrient limitation to vegetation growth on Keerqin sandy grassland of North-east China.
(Wiley, 2011-02-01)To examine whether the critical leaf N ⁄ P ratios (of 14, 16) are valid to test nutrient limitation in the context of semi-arid sandy grasslands, an experiment was conducted on a Keerqin sandy grassland in North-east China ... -
