Araucaria araucana and Salix humboldtiana: Two Species Highly Appreciated by the Society with Domestication Potential
(Springer, 2021)
Pewen, Araucaria araucana (Molina) K. Koch (also known as monkey puzzle tree), is a dioecious large-seeded emergent conifer endemic to the northern region of the temperate forests of Argentina and Chile. The species ...
Seed production in Polylepis australis (Rosaceae) as influenced by tree size, livestock and interannual climate variations in the mountains of central Argentina
(Springer, 2013-03)
The expansion of tree species within a grassland-woodland matrix relies heavily on an abundant seed crop, which may be affected by many factors; among these, browsing by livestock has gone largely ignored. Here we explore ...
Ectomycorrhizas naturally established in Nothofagus nervosa seedlings under different cultivation practices in a forest nursery
(Springer, 2013-04)
Mycorrhizas are mutualistic associations between soil fungi and plant roots which usually improve water and nutrient uptake, influencing plant fitness. Nothofagus nervosa (Raulí) is an ecologically and economically important ...
Effects of forest preservation, livestock exclusion and use of shrubs as potential nurses on planting success of an endangered tree
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-05-27)
Domestic livestock are widespread in seasonally dry forests, likely causing forest degradation and limiting tree seedling establishment. Shrubs can play an important role in facilitating tree regeneration, by protecting ...
Differential forage use between large native and domestic herbivores in Southern Patagonian Nothofagus forests
(Springer, 2012-07)
Plant-animal interactions at the landscape level become particularly relevant when land use is diversified. Nothofagus forests in southern Patagonia have been used for timber and cattle grazing purposes during the last ...
Species without current breeding relevance but high economic value: Acacia caven, Acacia aroma, Acacia visco, Prosopis affinis, Prosopis caldenia and Gonopterodendron sarmientoi
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2021)
This chapter gathers six species that have been extensively used from the natural forest, but that are not included in any domestication program yet. These species from the Chaco region belong to genera Acacia, Prosopis ...
Hanseniaspora smithiae sp. nov., a Novel Apiculate Yeast Species From Patagonian Forests That Lacks the Typical Genomic Domestication Signatures for Fermentative Environments
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07)
During a survey of Nothofagus trees and their parasitic fungi in Andean Patagonia (Argentina), genetically distinct strains of Hanseniaspora were obtained from the sugar-containing stromata of parasitic Cyttaria spp. ...
