To chop or not to chop? Tackling shrub encroachment by roller-chopping preserves woody plant diversity and composition in a dry subtropical forest
(2017-10-15)
Shrub encroachment is a frequently observed phenomenon in the arid and semi-arid biomes. In the dry forests of the Argentine Chaco ecoregion that are affected by shrub encroachment, the growing demand for grazing areas has ...
Aerial Bud Bank and Structural Changes of Woody Species from Argentine Chaco in Response to Disturbances
(David Publishing Company, 2019)
The objectives of this work were to estimate the ABB (Aerial Bud Bank) size in small individuals of four native woody species and its relationship with structural changes of plants after disturbances. Study area was located ...
Environmental and species-specific controls on δ13C and δ15N in dominant woody plants from central-western Argentinian drylands
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-08)
Spatial variation in mean annual precipitation is the principal driver of plant water and nitrogen status in drylands. The natural abundance of carbon stable isotopes (δ13C) in photosynthetic tissues of C3 plants is an ...
Reciprocal interactions between a non-native shrub and the dominant native trees of a high mountain woodland: who benefits?
(Springer, 2020-09)
Facilitation by nurse plants is a common interaction, whereby climatic harshness and/or other limiting factors are reduced under the canopy of the “nurse” plant, favoring the regeneration of other plant species. In mountain ...
Influence of antibiotics on indirect organogenesis of Teak
(Annals of Forest Research, 2018)
Using tree population size structures to assess the impacts of cattle grazing and eucalypts plantations in subtropical South America
(2010-03-08)
To evaluate the effects of distinct management of the matrix in which forest fragments are found upon plant populations thriving in forest remnants in south Brazil, we assessed the conservation status of populations of ...
Do woody and herbaceous species compete for soil water across topographic gradients? Evidence for niche partitioning in a Neotropical savanna
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-03-01)
Savannas are characterized by sparsely distributed woody species within a continuous herbaceous cover, composed mainly by grasses and small eudicot herbs. This vegetation structure is variable across the landscape, with ...
Seed limitation of woody plants in Neotropical savannas
(Springer, 2012-02)
The failure of seeds to arrive at all suitable sites (seed limitation) greatly affects plant distribution and abundance. In contrast to tropical forests, the degree of seed limitation in Neotropical savannas is unclear ...
