A method for assessing the ecological quality of riparian forests in subtropical Andean streams: QBRy index
(Elsevier Science, 2012-02)
A modified QBR index adapted to examine the riparian quality of streams included within Yungas biome is presented. The index, named QBRy, comprehend modifications of the original index in three of the four sections in order ...
Relationship between morphology and trophic ecology in an assemblage of passerine birds in riparian forests of the Paraná River (Argentina)
(SAGE Publications, 2018-02)
We describe the ecomorphology of an assemblage of bird species found in riparian forests of the Middle Paraná River, Argentina. We sought to determine (1) the more important morphological characteristics that separate ...
Shifts in soil traits and arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis represent the conservation status of Araucaria araucana forests and the effects after fire events
(Elsevier Science, 2020-02)
Araucaria araucana is a long-lived native conifer from the sub-Antarctic Andean forests of South America. Currently, the species is classified as endangered due to fragmentation, deforestation and increasing fire events ...
Potential biodiversity map of understory plants for Nothofagus forests in Southern Patagonia: Analyses of landscape, ecological niche and conservation values
(Elsevier, 2019-09)
The role of understory plants in native forests is critical for ecosystem function, wildlife protection and ecosystem productivity. The interest to estimate biodiversity increased during the last decades at landscape level. ...
Redistribution of forest biomass in an heterogeneous environment of subtropical Andes undergoing agriculture adjustment
(Elsevier, 2015-08)
Estimations of the carbon stored in the above-ground biomass are important from traditional, ecological and forestry to contemporary climate and land-use change perspectives. Carbon sequestration and storage is reduced by ...
Influence of Yacyretá dam on trees distribution in the Paraná floodplain
(Elsevier Science, 2020-07)
Numerous contributions indicate that the distribution of trees in floodplains is determined by hydrological dynamics and that some plants are more tolerant than others to flood periods, however very little scientific ...
Ecological characterization of a tick community across a landscape gradient exhibiting differential anthropogenic disturbance in the Atlantic Forest ecoregion in Argentina
(2018-02)
An ecological analysis of a tick (Ixodida: Ixodidae) community across a landscape gradient presenting differential anthropogenic disturbance in the Atlantic Forest ecoregion in Argentina was performed. Ticks were collected ...
Marked compositional changes in harvestmen assemblages in Amazonian forest islands induced by a mega dam
(Veterinary and Human Toxicology, 2020-09)
Mega hydroelectric dams have become one of the main drivers of habitat loss in tropical forests, converting large tracts of pristine forests into isolated forest islands. Understanding how biodiversity cope with landscape ...
Linking species distribution and territorial planning to the management of the endangered Gonopterodendron sarmientoi in native forests of the Chaco region, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2022-06-11)
For management and conservation strategies in the long term is necessary to know the species distribution and main biophysical aspects that determine the structure and dynamics of the forest. The aim of this work was to ...
An assessment of the availability of cavities for secondary cavity-nesting birds in certified and conventionally-logged neotropical rainforests
(Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, 2020-05)
The high level of forest intervention and the decrease in biodiversity as a result of logging are incentives to implement forest certification schemes. Despite the advances in the results of the impact of forest certification ...
