Non-market economic valuation of the benefits provided by temperate ecosystems at the extreme south of the Americas
(Springer-Verlag, 2014)
The island of Navarino, Chile, located at the
extreme southern end of the Americas, is one of the few
regions in the world with undivided and only slightly
transformed temperate forests. Currently, fundamental
issues ...
Land use intensity indirectly affects ecosystem services mainly through plant functional identity in a temperate forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-05)
Land‐use change is known to affect biodiversity, and there is increasing concern regarding how these changes may impact the provision of ecosystem services. Although functional composition (diversity and identity) could ...
Silvopastoral systems in the subtropical and temperate zones of South America: an overview.
(Springer, 2016)
In the subtropical and temperate zones of South America (Argentina, Chile and Southern Brazil), silvopastoral systems have become an economical, ecological and productive alternative. These systems incorporate exotic tree ...
Fire disturbance regimes, ecosystem recovery and restoration strategies in Mediterranean and temperate regions of Chile
(Cerda, A.Robichaud, P. R.Science Publishers, Enfield, NH, 2009)
We provide an overview of the major causes and historical recurrence times of fire disturbance, both natural and anthropogenic, in Mediterranean-type vegetation and temperate forests of Chile (33 to 42º S), southwestern ...
Shrub facilitation increases plant diversity along an arid scrubland-temperate rain forest boundary in South America
(2012)
Theoretical models predict nurse plant facilitation enhances species richness by ameliorating stressful environmental conditions and expanding
distributional ranges of stress-intolerant species into harsh environments. ...
Inter-Annual and Seasonal Variation of ANPP and Leaf Nutrient Concentration in Cold-Temperate Wetlands of Tierra del Fuego
(Springer, 2018-02)
We investigated the inter-annual and seasonal variation of the aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP), and leaf nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations across two different types of wet meadows (spring-fed and riparian) ...
Ecological singularity of temperate mesopredatory myliobatoid rays (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatiformes)
(Csiro Publishing, 2016-06)
Many myliobatoid rays are important mesopredators, having significant effects on coastal benthic communities. In tropical and subtropical high-diversity oligotrophic ecosystems, they partition their trophic resources, which ...
