Regional patterns and controls of biomass in semiarid woodlands: lessons from the Northern Argentina Dry Chaco
(Springer Heidelberg, 2013-02)
Land use change, particularly in forested ecosystems,has a direct impact on the global carbon cycle. Consequently, the regional assessment of biomass and the understanding of its current spatial controls are research ...
Soybean biotic pollination and its relationship to linear forest fragments of subtropical dry Chaco
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2018-11)
The delivery of ecosystem services, such as biotic pollination is a benefit that nature provides us. Pollinators increase the quantity, quality and stability of crops for food production. Previous works show that proximity ...
Post-logging effects on nest predation and avian predator assemblages in a subtropical forest
(Elsevier Science, 2022-02)
Logging represents one of the main threats to bird populations breeding in subtropical forests because the resulting changes in forest structure influence nesting sites and predator–prey interactions. Nest site selection ...
Germination characteristics of five coexisting neotropical species of Acacia in seasonally dry Chaco forests in Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-04)
At a regional scale, habitat heterogeneity can play a very important role in allowing the coexistence of species through their specialization in the use of patches differing in environmental conditions. Here, we explore ...
Geographical, taxonomical and ecological aspects of lianas in subtropical forests of Argentina
(Springer, 2015)
Lianas are more diverse and typically more abundant in tropical than temperate forests, with subtropical forests being intermediate. In this chapter, we analyse geographical, taxonomical and ecological patterns of lianas ...
Use of response guilds of understory birds in threatened subtropical forest to monitor selective logging impact
(Elsevier Science, 2021-12)
Unplanned logging is one of the greatest current threats to native forests biodiversity. About 90% of the piedmont forest in the Southern Andean Yungas has been converted to other land-use types and the remaining forests ...
Chaco forest fragmentation effects on leaf litter decomposition are not explained by changes in litter fauna
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-09)
Forest fragmentation is a component of global change, with substantial impact on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Despite extensive evidence of forest fragmentation effects on aboveground ecological processes, little ...
To chop or not to chop? Tackling shrub encroachment by roller-chopping preserves woody plant diversity and composition in a dry subtropical forest
(2017-10-15)
Shrub encroachment is a frequently observed phenomenon in the arid and semi-arid biomes. In the dry forests of the Argentine Chaco ecoregion that are affected by shrub encroachment, the growing demand for grazing areas has ...
Assessing multi-temporal Landsat 7 ETM + images for estimating above-ground biomass in subtropical dry forests of Argentina
(Elsevier, 2010-01)
Above-ground biomass (AGB) is important to estimate total carbon pools in forests, where it has a key role in the global carbon cycle. We assessed correlations between spectral information and ground data to estimate AGB ...
