The Ecology and Natural History of Chilean Salt Marshes
(Springer, 2017)
Ecological processes shaping Central Patagonian salt marsh landscapes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-01)
Plant zonation is one of the most conspicuous ecological features of salt marshes worldwide. In this work we used a combination of field transplant and greenhouse experiments to evaluate the importance of interspecific ...
Does low temperature prevent Spartina alterniflora from expanding toward the austral-most salt marshes?
(Springer, 2011-04)
Along the Atlantic coast of South America, the northern salt marshes (lower than 43°S) are dominated by Spartina species while the southern salt marshes (greater than 43°S) are dominated by Sarcocornia perennis. The most ...
Precipitation/dissolution of marine evaporites as determinants in groundwater chemistry in a salt marsh (Península Valdés, Argentina)
(Elsevier Science, 2016-11)
Evaporites are mineral facies frequently occurring in salt marsh environments in arid climates. Considering that groundwater and soil salinity play an important role in the development of salt marsh ecosystems, the aims ...
First results of energy and mass exchange in a salt marsh on southeastern South America
(Elsevier Science, 2018-12)
Salt marshes are vulnerable ecosystems since they are found in locations often preferred for urban development. They produce a great amount of biomass, and also are of great interest because of the ecosystem services they ...
Patterns of substrata use by the invasive acorn barnacle Balanus glandula in Patagonian salt marshes
(Springer, 2012-07-03)
Balanus glandula is a native barnacle of the rocky shores in the west coast of North America. Forty years after its introduction in Argentina, this species is the only barnacle dominating the high intertidal of local ...
Dissimilarity in plant species diversity between salt marsh and neighboring environments decreases as environmental harshness increases
(Inter-research, 2013-12)
How species similarity changes between habitats along environmental gradients is still a central challenge in ecological studies. We assessed whether marsh plant characteristics are associated with geographic changes in ...
Soil-geomorphology relationships and landscape evolution in a southwestern Atlantic tidal salt marsh in Patagonia, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-07)
Salt marshes in Patagonia ecosystem are nowadays fully recognized by ecological, pollution and phytoremediation studies but a soil genesis and geomorphology approach is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to ...
Impact of cattle grazing on temperate coastal salt marsh soils
(Wiley, 2015-06)
Over the last two decades, grazing intensity has increased in the temperate salt marshes of Samborombon Bay (Argentina) due to agricultural expansion and the displacement of domestic livestock to these areas. We investigated ...
