Catalases of the polyextremophylic Andean isolate Acinetobacter sp. Ver 3 confer adaptive response to H2O2 and UV radiation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03)
The polyextremophilic strain Acinetobacter sp. Ver3 isolated from high-altitude Andean lakes exhibits elevated tolerance to UV-B radiation and to pro-oxidants, a feature that has been correlated to its unusually high ...
Effects of climate variability on water level fluctuations and farming practices in andean higland wetlands Efectos de la variabilidad climática sobre las fluctuaciones del nivel de las aguas y actividad ganadera en humedales altoandinos
(Interciencia Association, 2014)
During the last decades, climatic variations in the Chilean Higlands (Altiplano) that threaten the sustainability of the local wetlands and, thus, the sustainability of farming practices that depend on them, have been ...
Diet of brown hare (Lepus europaeus) and food availability in High Andean mountains (Mendoza, Argentina)
(De Gruyter, 2016-05)
Diet selection by Lepus europaeus was studied in high-altitude mountain environments with severe weather, presence of wetlands, and no agricultural activities. Diet was assessed using fecal microhistologicalanalysis, and ...
Treatment of faecal sludge from septic tanks using First Stage of French Vertical Flow Constructed Wetlands
(IWA. The international water asociation, 2022)
Mostly disposed into the environment without any treatment, faecal sludge from septic tanks remains a critical environmental issue in major developing countries. Despite being considered an efficient natural solution for ...
Responses of anuran diversity to wetland characteristics and surrounding landscape in the Southern Andean Yungas, Argentina
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020-07)
Modification and loss of natural habitats caused by human activities are among the main drivers of biodiversity decline worldwide. To evaluate how land-use changes affect species diversity at different spatial scales, ...
Modelling beta diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrates in High Andean wetlands
(Cnr Ist Italiano Idrobiologia, 2017-06)
Central Andean Highlands represent a singular environment characterized by various extreme conditions. Among them, peatbogs are exceptional marshy habitats scattered throughout this arid and harsh area. In an effort to ...
Modern microbial mats and endoevaporites systems in Andean lakes a general approach
(Springer, 2020)
Puna wetlands and salars are a unique extreme environment all over the world, since their locations are in high-altitude saline deserts, largely influenced by volcanic activity. Ultraviolet radiation, arsenic content, high ...
Aquatic plant composition and environmental relationships in grazed Northwest Patagonian wetlands, Argentina
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2014)
Aquatic macrophyte assemblages and environmental features were assessed in 30 wetlands from North- west Patagonia subjected to different intensity of grazing pressure. Species richness was surveyed in wetlands from three ...
Genome-wide genetic diversity yields insights into genomic responses of candidate climate-selected loci in an Andean wetland plant.
Assessing population evolutionary potential has become a central tenet of conservation biology. Since adaptive responses require allelic variation at functional genes, consensus has grown that genetic variation at genes ...
Distribution of greenhouse gases in hyper-arid and arid areas of northern Chile and the contribution of the high altitude wetland microbiome (Salar de Huasco, Chile)
(2018)
Northern Chile harbors different bioclimatic zones including hyper-arid and arid ecosystems and hotspots of microbial life, such as high altitude wetlands, which may contribute differentially to greenhouse gases (GHG) such ...
