Sustainable livelihoods approach through the lens of the State-and-Transition Model in semi-arid pastoral systems
(Australian Rangeland Society, 2016-12-14)
Dealing with complex challenges worldwide regarding sustainable development and environmental management requires applied frameworks to understand and manage change in complex social-ecological systems. In this regard, ...
Biological vulnerability in the Elqui Valley (Coquimbo Region, Chile) to economically important arthropods
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal, 2009)
Continuous moderate grazing management promotes biomass production in Patagonian arid rangelands
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-02)
Domestic grazing effects on primary productivity and community structure are controversial in rangeland ecology and frequently misunderstood. Although directly related with secondary production, biomass stock and biomass ...
Response of grass species to different fire frequencies in semi-arid rangelands of central Argentina
(Australian Rangeland Society, 2013-10)
The study was undertaken to quantify the effect of different controlled fire frequencies on foliar cover, density, individual basal area, and mortality of the most common perennial grass species in the semi-arid rangelands ...
Archetypal temporal dynamics of arid and semi-arid rangelands
(Elsevier Science Inc., 2021-03)
The way in which temporal dynamics structure ecological systems under the influence of a changing environment has long interested ecologists. Tackling the hierarchical structure of complex temporal patterns is a necessary ...
Evaluation of the conceptual model on shrubbiness-desertification on arid rangelands
(Arid Zone Research Association of India, 2018)
Degradation and recovery processes in semi-arid patchy rangelands of northern Patagonia, Argentina
(Wiley, 2013-08)
Vegetation in many arid and semiarid shrublands is frequently arranged in patches with high plant-cover (shrub patches) interspersed in a low-cover herbaceous matrix (inter-shrub areas). We hypothesized that (a) livestock ...
Arid and semiarid rangeland responses to non-stationary temporal dynamics of environmental drivers
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
Temporal ecology is a growing research field aimed at understanding how temporal dynamics structure ecological systems in a changing environment. Ecosystems are exposed to accelerating environmental changes —mainly driven ...
Changes in plant cover induced by grazing affect the soluble fraction of soil organic carbon – but not the total pool size in the arid rangelands of Patagonian Monte, Argentina
(10th International Rangeland Congress, 2016)
Soilis the largest organic C (SOC) pool in the biosphere. The size ofthis pool depends on the primary production and SOC residence time which arecontrolled by biome type, climatic conditions and land management.In arid ...
