(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 ...
    • Environmental heterogeneity modulates the effect of plant diversity on the spatial variability of grassland biomass 

      Daleo, Pedro; Alberti, Juan; Chaneton, Enrique J.; Iribarne, Oscar; Tognetti, Pedro M.; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Bruschetti, Martín; MacDougall, Andrew S.; Pascual, Jesús; Peri, Pablo Luis; Hautier, Yann (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, ...
    • Evenness mediates the global relationship between forest productivity and richness 

      Hordijk, Iris; Maynard, Daniel S.; Hart, Simon P.; Lidong, Mo; Steege, Hans ter; Liang, Jingjing; de Miguel, Sergio; Nabuurs, Gert-Jan; Reich, Peter B.; Abegg, Meinrad; Peri, Pablo Luis; Crowther, Thomas W. (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 

      Smith, Melinda D.; Wilkins, Kate D.; Holdrege, Martin C.; Wilfahrt, Peter A.; Collins, Scott L.; Knapp, Alan K.; Sala, Osvaldo E.; Dukes, Jeffrey S.; Phillips, Richard P.; Yahdjian, Laura; Peri, Pablo Luis; Zuo, Xiaoan (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 ...
    • General destabilizing effects of eutrophication on grassland productivity at multiple spatial scales 

      Hautier, Yann; Zhang, Pengfei; Loreau, Michel; Wilcox, Kevin R.; Seabloom, Eric William; Borer, Elizabeth T.; Byrnes, Jarrett E.K.; Koerner, Sally E.; Komatsu, Kimberly J.; Lefcheck, Jonathan S.; Hector, Andy; Adler, Peter B.; Alberti, Juan; Arnillas, Carlos Alberto; Bakker, Jonathan D.; Brudvig, Lars A.; Bugalho, Miguel N.; Cadotte, Marc.; Caldeira, Maria C.; Carroll, Oliver; Crawley, Mick; Collins, Scott L.; Daleo, Pedro; Dee, Laura E.; Eisenhauer, Nico; Eskelinen, Anu; Fay, Philip A.; Gilbert, Benjamin; Hansar, Amandine; Isbell, Forest; Knops, Johannes M.H.; MacDougall, Andrew S.; McCulley, Rebecca L.; Moore, Joslin L.; Morgan, John W.; Mori, Akira S.; Peri, Pablo Luis; Pos, Edwin; Power, Sally A.; Price, Jodi N.; Reich, Peter B.; Risch, Anita C.; Roscher, Christiane; Sankaran, Mahesh; Schütz, Martin; Smith, Melinda D.; Stevens, Carly J.; Tognetti, Pedro Maximiliano; Virtanen, Risto; Wardle, Glenda M.; Wilfahrt, Peter A.; Wang, Shaopeng (Springer Nature, 2020-10-23)
      Eutrophication is a widespread environmental change that usually reduces the stabilizing effect of plant diversity on productivity in local communities. Whether this effect is scale dependent remains to be elucidated. Here, ...
    • Productividad y calidad nutricional de especies forrajeras típicas en mallines de la Patagonia Austral (Argentina) = Productivity and nutritional quality of typical forage species of Austral Patagonian Meadows (Argentina) 

      Utrilla, Victor Ricardo; Jaurena, Gustavo (Asociación Argentina de Producción Animal, 2017-12)
      Se planteó un estudio con el objetivo de evaluar la productividad y la calidad nutricional de las principales especies forrajeras nativas con aptitud de corte en mallines del SO de Santa Cruz. En este contexto, en clausuras ...
    • The relative importance of soil properties and regional climate as drivers of productivity in southern Patagonia’s Nothofagus antarctica forests 

      Bahamonde, Héctor Alejandro; Martínez Pastur, Guillermo José; Lencinas, María Vanessa; Soler Esteban, Rosina Matilde; Rosas, Yamina Micaela; Ladd, Brenton; Duarte Guardia, Sandra; Peri, Pablo Luis (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 ...
    • Variation of grazing‐induced vegetation changes across a large‐scale productivity gradient 

      Lezama, Felipe; Baeza, Santiago; Altesor, Alice; Cesa, Ariela; Chaneton, Enrique José; Paruelo, José María (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 ...
