The global biogeography of tree leaf form and habit
(Springer Nature, 2023-11)Understanding what controls global leaf type variation in trees is crucial for comprehending their role in terrestrial ecosystems, including carbon, water and nutrient dynamics. Yet our understanding of the factors influencing ... -
The MARAS dataset, vegetation and soil characteristics of dryland rangelands across Patagonia
(Nature Research, 2020)We present the MARAS (Environmental Monitoring of Arid and Semiarid Regions) dataset, which stores vegetation and soil data of 426 rangeland monitoring plots installed throughout Patagonia, a 624.500 km2 area of southern ... -
The number of tree species on Earth
(National Academy of Sciences, 2022-02-08)One of the most fundamental questions in ecology is how many species inhabit the Earth. However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties connected to the species concept definition, ... -
The positive effect of plant diversity on soil carbon depends on climate
(Springer Nature, 2023-10-19)Little is currently known about how climate modulates the relationship between plant diversity and soil organic carbon and the mechanisms involved. Yet, this knowledge is of crucial importance in times of climate change ... -
The relative importance of soil properties and regional climate as drivers of productivity in southern Patagonia’s Nothofagus antarctica forests
(2018-06)Soil texture and temperature-related variables were the variables that most contributed to Nothofagus antarctica forest height in southern Patagonia. This information may be useful for improving forest management, for ... -
The role of facultatively nectarivorous birds as pollinators of Anarthrophyllum desideratum in the Patagonian steppe: a geographical approach
(2017-12)The endemic shrub Anarthrophyllum desideratum appears to be the only ornithophilous plant offering nectar as reward in the extensive Patagonian steppe. The identity of its floral visitor assemblage and to what extent this ... -
Thinking in the sustainability of Nothofagus antarctica silvopastoral systems, how differ the responses of seedlings from different provenances to water shortage?
(2017-12)Nothofagus antarctica, is the most important species of the silvopastoral systems of southern Patagonia. However, there is limited information on the ecophysiological response mechanisms of seedlings for survival under ... -
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019-12-31)Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem ... -
Turno de corta y posibilidad de los bosques de lenga (Nothofagus pumilio) en Tierra del Fuego (Argentina) = Rotation length and sustainable use of lenga (Nothofagus pumilio) forests in Tierra del Fuego (Argentina)
(Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Austral de Chile, 2004)La ordenación forestal regional es una herramienta indispensable para desarrollar políticas forestales que protejan los bosques naturales, en el marco del manejo sustentable y del uso múltiple. Para ello se debe contar con ... -
Value of Biodiversity on Patagonian Rangeland: Estimation via a Hedonic Price Index
(Elsevier, 2024-01)Plant diversity has long been linked to an increase in ecosystem productivity and function, but concrete examples in which ecosystem services are linked to diversity at the scale at which management decisions are taken are ... -
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 ... -
Variable retention harvesting and climate variations influence over natural regeneration dynamics in Nothofagus pumilio forests of Southern Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2023-09-15)Natural regeneration is a key process to sustain structure, function, and composition in harvested forests over time. Variable retention harvesting system is a strategy that maintains a high level of heterogeneity in managed ... -
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 ... -
Variation of grazing‐induced vegetation changes across a large‐scale productivity gradient
(Wiley, 2014-01)Questions: Does the magnitude of grazing‐induced changes in species composition vary with habitat productivity? How does the sign and magnitude of grazing effects on species richness and beta‐diversity change with increasing ... -
