Biogeographical relationships and new regionalisation of high-altitude grasslands and woodlands of the central Pampean Ranges (Argentina), based on vascular plants and vertebrates
(Csiro Publishing, 2017-05)
Evolutionary biogeography aims to provide a hierarchical system of biotic regionalisation for areas of the Earth that correspond to natural areas related by their common evolutionary history. In this context, the central ...
Above- and below-ground biomass and carbon dynamics in Brazilian Cerrado wet grasslands
(Grangaerde, 2012-03)
Questions
Grasslands are usually neglected as potential carbon stocks, partially due to the lack of studies on biomass and carbon dynamics in tropical grasslands. What is the importance of Brazilian tropical wet grasslands ...
Link between cattle and the trophic status of tropical high mountain lakes in páramo grasslands in Ecuador
(2018)
The high-altitude
páramo grasslands of the Andes Mountains are rich in lakes that
represent a source of high-quality
water for the region. Páramo grasslands are mainly
used for cattle grazing. The aim of this study was to ...
Bofedales: high altitude peatlands of the central Andes
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2006)
The distinct roles of water table depth and soil properties in controlling alternative woodland-grassland states in the Cerrado
(2021-03-01)
Open grassy vegetation and forests share riparian zones across the Neotropical savannas, characterizing alternative stable states. However, factors determining the occurrence and maintenance of each vegetation type are yet ...
Summer diet of horses (Equus ferus caballus Linn.), Guanacos (Lama guanicoe Müller), and European Brown hares (Lepus europaeus Pallas) in the high Andean Range of the Coquimbo Region, Chile
(MDPI, 2021)
For an adequate management of natural grasslands, the knowledge and understanding
of the dietary habits of herbivores and their trophic interactions are fundamental. During two
summer seasons, in a mountain range of a ...
Taphonomic Effects of a Grassland Fire on a Modern Faunal Sample and its Implications for the Archaeological Record
(Prometheus Press, 2017-12)
The main objective of this paper is to characterize the pattern of thermal alteration in a sample of modern bones collected after a natural grassland fire in the Pampas region (Argentina). A total of 917 bone remains were ...
Fire and grazing differentially affect aerial biomass and species composition in Andean grasslands
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2011-04)
Grazing and fire have been the most common disturbances in many grasslands ecosystems for many centuries. However, some mountain regions are currently experiencing a decrease in land use, and therefore in frequency or ...
Influence of post-weaning management system during the finishing phase on grasslands or feedlot on aiming to improvement of the beef cattle production
(2017-05-01)
The effects of differing post-weaning management systems applied during the wet season were evaluated on the performance of 108 young Nelore (Bos taurus indicus) bulls finished on grasslands or feedlot system during the ...
