Plant phylogenetic diversity of tropical mountaintop rocky grasslands: local and regional constraints
(2019-12-01)
Mountains are interesting systems for studying patterns of diversity distribution and the role of environmental filters and competition on community assembly. According to the phylogenetic niche conservatism theory, the ...
Pampean-grassland heterogeneity on the intersection of science, art, and culture
(Fondazione Internazionale pro Herbario Mediterraneo, 2018-12)
Since prehistoric times, temperate grasslands have provided favorable habitat for human subsistence. Ease of exploitation, however, has caused that temperate grasslands are among the most destroyed terrestrial ecosystems. ...
Fire as stimulant of shrub recruitment in northwestern Patagonian (Argentina) grasslands
(Springer Tokyo, 2013-06)
One strategy of plant survival during post-fire succession is to persist and regenerate by recruiting new individuals from a fire-resistant seed bank. The heat, smoke, and charcoal released during plant combustion may act ...
Different grazing strategies are necessary to conserve endangered grassland birds in short and tall salty grasslands of the flooding PampasDiferentes estrategias de pastoreo son necesarias para conservar las aves amenazadas en pastizales halófitos cortos y altos de la Pampa deprimida en Argentina
(Cooper Ornithological Society, 2011-11)
We evaluated how grazing affects bird assemblages in short and tall coastal salty grasslands at Samborombón Bay, Argentina. We studied ranches with three patterns of grazing (spatial rotation, continuous, and winter grazing) ...
What Factors Control the Crude Protein Content Variation of a Basaltic “Campos” Native Grassland of South America?
(MDPI, 2022-08)
Native grasslands are the main source of food for livestock in the Campos region of South America. These forage resources are heterogeneous in species composition, grazing management, and soil fertility within a context ...
Determinants of grassland primary production in seasonally-dry silvopastoral systems in Central America
(2014-06)
Grassland primary productivity is the function that underpins the majority of the fodder production in cattle-rearing silvopastoral farms. Hence, understanding the factors that determine grassland productivity is critical ...
Effect of grassland management on soil carbon sequestration in Rondonia and Mato Grosso states, Brazil
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
Grassland management affects soil organic carbon (SOC) content and a variety of management options have been proposed to sequester carbon. However, studies conducted in Brazilian pastures have shown divergent responses for ...
Grassland versus Shrubland habitat and game management in Mediterranean ecosystems: an application for the Cervus elaphus species
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2020-11-13)
This work compares the net revenues of maintaining grasslands versus shrublands as part of the habitat of the Cervus elaphus big game species in Mediterranean agroforestry ecosystems. For this purpose, data published by ...
An assessment of the Important Bird Areas (IBAs) of southern Paraguayan grasslands
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2021-06-01)
We present an assessment of the Southern Paraguayan Grasslands using Important Bird Areas (IBAs) located in a grassland landscape mosaic. Eleven IBAs in southern Paraguay were evaluated 10 years after their designation, ...
Waterlogging as an environmental filter to tree recruitment in tropical wet grasslands
(2021-01-01)
Wet grasslands from the Brazilian Savanna (Cerrado) are open-canopy vegetation dominated by subshrubs and herbaceous plants. Although they frequently occur between gallery forests and savannas, tree species are rarely ...
