Condiciones de suelo y vegetación en tres bosques quemados de Nothofagus pumilio en Argentina y experiencias para su restauración activa
(2018-08)El fuego es un disturbio importante en bosques de lenga de Chubut y Santa Cruz, en la Patagonia argentina. Según del tipo de bosque y la severidad del fuego, el sistema resultante puede diferir en gran medida respecto del ... -
Relating water use to morphology and environment of Nothofagus from the world’s most southern forests
(2014-02)A pronounced environmental gradient dictates the dominance of Nothofagus in the foothills on the eastern side of the Andes Mountains in Patagonia, Argentina. Below 50° southern latitude, open forests of Nothofagus antarctica ... -
Survival and growth of Nothofagus pumilio seedlings under several microenvironments after variable retention harvesting in southern Patagonian forests
(INRA : Springer, 2014)Context: Variable retention prescriptions for Nothofagus pumilio forests provide for biodiversity conservation and natural regeneration by controlled opening of the canopy. Harvesting generates different microenvironments ... -
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 ... -
Soil respiration in Patagonian semiarid grasslands under contrasting environmental and use conditions
(Elsevier, 2015-08)Grasslands comprise 85% of Southern Patagonia land area and play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. We evaluated seasonal dynamics to identify differences in soil respiration rates between contrasting grasslands ... -
Mistletoes and epiphytic lichens contribute to litter input in Nothofagus antarctica forests
(Elsevier, 2015-10)Litter input is one of the key components that define nutrient cycling in forests and the majority of studies only consider the tree components of litterfall. However, epiphytic species can play a crucial role in litter ... -
Spatial patterns of cultural ecosystem services provision in Southern Patagonia
(Springer, 2016-02)Context Although there is a need to develop a spatially explicit methodological approach that addresses the social importance of cultural ecosystem services for regional planning, few studies have analysed the spatial ... -
Above-ground arthropod community structure and influence of structural-retention management in southern Patagonian scrublands, Argentina
(Springer, 2016-12)Southern Patagonia’s landscape hosts several semi-natural habitats, traditionally used for sheep production, such as Mulguraea tridens and Lepidophyllum cupressiforme scrublands. Mulguraea scrublands are managed via ... -
Modeling of potential habitat suitability of Hippocamelus bisulcus: effectiveness of a protected areas network in Southern Patagonia
(Springer, 2017)Introduction Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus Molina) is the most threatened flag species of Southern Patagonia, where conservation efforts were not effective to avoid the retraction of its distribution area. Habitat quality ... -
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 ... -
Better estimates of soil carbon from geographical data: a revised global approach
(2018-05)Soils hold the largest pool of organic carbon (C) on Earth; yet, soil organic carbon (SOC) reservoirs are not well represented in climate change mitigation strategies because our database for ecosystems where human impacts ... -
Long-term monitoring of thinning for silvopastoral purposes in Nothofagus antarctica forests of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, España, 2018)Aim of the study: To analyse the effectiveness of thinning on tree growth, forest structure and microclimatic variables along seven years after cuttings in a secondary Nothofagus antarctica forest in Southern Patagonia. Area ... -
Masting has different effects on seed predation by insects and birds in antarctic beech forests with no influence of forest management
(2017-09-15)Mast seeding is characteristic of many long-lived tree species and widely proposed as a mechanism to reduce seed predation. However, whether the efficiency of this reproductive response may vary depending on type of seed ... -
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 ... -
Soil Nitrate Profiles and the Risk of Nitrate Leaching in Sweet Cherry Orchards Subjected to Different Management Schemes
(2014)When nitrogen is applied to sweet cherry orchards, losses can take place. The authors determined the soil nitrate distribution in fertilized sweet cherry orchards in Southern Patagonia (Argentina). The treatments were ... -
Investigación socio-ecológica a largo plazo en la Patagonia Austral: Estrategias interdisciplinarias para lograr la conservación de los recursos naturales a través de un manejo sustentable bajo escenarios de cambio global
(2016-04)Las dimensiones ecológicas, sociales, institucionales y políticas de los problemas ambientales abarcan escalas espaciales y temporales que exceden a la mayoría de las investigaciones científicas. Una alternativa que crece ... -
Biodiversity and ecological long-term plots in Southern Patagonia to support sustainable land management: The case of PEBANPA network
(2016-12)Historically, interactions and trends between biodiversity, ecosystem function (EF) and land use practices in southern Patagonia (Argentina) have been largely undocumented and poorly understood. Since 2002, 1214 permanent ... -
Physico-chemical properties of plant cuticles and their functional and ecological significance
(2017-11)Most aerial plant surfaces are covered with a lipid-rich cuticle, which is a barrier for the bidirectional transport of substances between the plant and the surrounding environment. This review article provides an overview ... -
Assessing Knowledge Production for Agrosilvopastoral Systems in South America
(2018-02)In recent decades agroforestry has undergone significant development in Latin America. South America generates the most scientific research on the topic in the region. We conducted a comprehensive review and analysis of ... -
