Vegetation composition and structure changes following roller-chopping deforestation in central Argentina woodlands
(2016-10)
Driven by the pressure of increasing forage production, dry forests and woodlands of Argentina are suffering one of the highest deforestation rates in the world. In this study we combined field work and a remote sensing ...
Artificial perches for birds in deforested areas favour a seed rain similar to woodland remnants
(Springer, 2022-11)
The lack of seeds represents one of the highest difficulties to overcome for the ecological restoration of areas that have been deforested. This study evaluates the effectiveness of artificial perches in increasing the ...
A comparison of small mammal communities in two High-Andean Polylepis woodlands in Ecuador

Water subsidies from mountains to deserts: their role in sustaining groundwater-fed oases in a sandy landscape
(Ecological Society of America, 2011-04)
In arid regions throughout the world, shallow phreatic aquifers feed natural oases of much higher productivity than would be expected solely from local rainfall. In South America, the presence of well-developed Prosopis ...
Intermediate harvesting intensities enhance native tree performance of contrasting species while conserving herbivore diversity in a Patagonian woodland
(Elsevier Science, 2021-03)
Sustainable forest management should optimise the balance between tree productivity and biodiversity conservation. One strategy to achieve both is the use of native plantations in biomass extraction systems. However, it ...
Proceedings of a symposium on oak woodlands: ecology, management, and urban interface issues

Diversity, functionality, and resilience under increasing harvesting intensities in woodlands of northern Patagonia
(Elsevier Science, 2020-10)
Sustainable forest management relies on the understanding of biodiversity response to disturbance and the ecological resilience of the system. The dynamic equilibrium hypothesis (DEM) predicts that site productivity will ...
