Leaf litter decomposition from native and non-native species in a freshwater forested wetland of Chile
(2017)
Decomposition of leaf litter is a fundamental process for the functioning of forested wetlands. The rapid increment of forest plantations has involved a greater contribution of leaf litter of exotic origin to these ecosystems. ...
Fungal decomposers of leaf litter from an invaded and native mountain forest of NW Argentina
(Springer, 2017-05)
The impact of plant species invasions onthe abundance, composition and activity of fungaldecomposers of leaf litter is poorly understood. In thisstudy, we isolated and compared the relative abundanceof ligninocellulolytic ...
Where does the forest come back from? Soil and litter seed banks and the juvenile bank as sources of vegetation resilience in a semiarid Neotropical forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-11)
The existence of reservoirs from which dominant plants recruit after disturbances is a key factor in ecosystem resilience. Where do woody species regenerate from in the semiarid Neotropical Chaco forest? Is land use affecting ...
Changes in land cover resulting from the introduction of non‐native pine modifies litter traits of temperate forests in Patagonia
(Wiley, 2020-02)
Aims: Changes in land cover resulting from the introduction of non-native pine plantations and subsequent pine invasion is increasingly affecting forest areas in the Southern Hemisphere, and having negative impacts on ...
Moving away from the native forest edge: Changes in ecosystem processes towards the interior of Pinus taeda plantations
(Elsevier Science, 2019-01)
Tree plantations are considered as strategic systems for climate change mitigation and economic development. However, their establishment in subtropical areas frequently involves the replacement of a species-rich forest ...
Tree species richness, does it play a key role on a forest restoration plantation?
(UNIV AUSTRAL CHILE, FAC CIENCIAS FORESTALESVALDIVIA, 2012)
The Brazilian Atlantic forest is considered one of the world's biodiversity conservation hotspot. Today there is less than ten percent remaining. Therefore it is necessary to restore these ecosystems. There are many ways ...
Litter production in the Nothofagus forests of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
(IOSR, 2016-10)
Differences in the amount of litter-fall in arboreal species constitute an important factor to understand the nutrient cycle inside a managed forest. The objective was to determine the litter production in Nothofaguspumilio ...
Non-symbiotic nitrogen fixation during leaf litter decomposition in an old-growth temperate rain forest of Chiloé Island, southern Chile: Effects of single versus mixed species litter
(Ecological Society of Australia, 2010)
Heterotrophic nitrogen fixation is a key ecosystem process in unpolluted, temperate old-growth forests
of southern South America as a source of new nitrogen to ecosystems. Decomposing leaf litter is an energy-rich
substrate ...
Relative effect of litter quality, forest type and their interaction on leaf decomposition in south-east Brazilian forests
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2008)
Decomposition was studied in a reciprocal litter transplant experiment to examine the effects of forest type, litter quality and their interaction on leaf decomposition in four tropical forests in south-east Brazil. ...
