Offspring performance and recruitment of the pionner tree Acacia caven (Fabaceae) in a fragmented subtropical dry forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-02)
The process of habitat fragmentation results in the breaking apart of originally continuous habitats,causing multiple changes in biotic and abiotic interactions. Alterations in resource availability and in mutualistic and ...
Edge and herbivory effects on leaf litter decomposability in a subtropical dry forest
(Springer Tokyo, 2017-02)
It is increasingly recognized that understanding the functional consequences of landscape change requires knowledge of aboveground and belowground processes and their interactions. For this reason, we provide novel information ...
Effects of past and future land conversions on forest connectivity in the Argentine Chaco
(Springer, 2015-05)
Context:
Land-use change is the main driver of habitat loss and fragmentation worldwide. The rate of dry forest loss in the South American Chaco is among the highest in the world, mainly due to the expansion of soybean ...
Roads and land tenure mediate the effects of precipitation on forest cover change in the Argentine Dry Chaco
(Pergamon, 2022-01)
Dry forests are among the most threatened ecosystems globally, due to agricultural expansion driven by the increasing demand for food, fibers, and energy in developed and emerging countries. Among these, the forests of the ...
Bird use of logging gaps in a subtropical mountain forest: The influence of habitat structure and resource abundance in the Yungas of Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2009-01)
Selective logging is one of the main economical activities in tropical and subtropical forests. While most of the effects of this activity on bird communities have been studied by comparing exploited vs. non-exploited ...
Subtropical Dry Forests: The Main Forest Ecoregion of Argentina
(Springer, 2020-11-19)
The Chaco is a sparsely populated, wooded grassland natural region of the Río de la Plata basin, where four physiognomic regions can be identified: Humid Chaco, Semi-arid Chaco, Arid Chaco, and Chaco Serrano. In this ...
Experimental analysis of dryland forest restoration techniques
(Newton, A.Tejedor, N. (Eds.)UICN, Cambridge, 2011)
Forest landscape restoration in dry forest in the Americas is an urgent priority. Tropical, subtropical, and temperate seasonally dry forests in Mexico, Chile, and Argentina are rep-resented by a wide range of different ...
Patterns of tree species variation across southern South America are shaped by environmental factors and historical processes
(Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2019)
Agricultural adjustment, population dynamics and forests redistribution in a subtropical watershed of NW Argentina.
(Springer Heidelberg, 2014-04)
Patterns of land-use and land-cover change are usually grouped into one of two categories defined by the dominant trend: (1) deforestation resulting from expanding agriculture and (2) forest expansion, usually related to ...
Linking hydrologic regime, rainfall and leaf litter fall in a riverine forest within the ramsar site humedales Chaco (Argentina)
(Wiley, 2015-09)
The input of leaf litter from riparian vegetation could be affected by changes in precipitation and modifications to the hydrological regime. We analyse the pattern of leaf litterfall at the community scale as well as the ...
