Running off the road: roadside non-native plants invading mountain vegetation
(Springer, 2018-12-27)
Prevention is regarded as a cost-effective management action to avoid unwanted impacts of non-native species. However, targeted prevention can be difficult if little is known about the traits of successfully invading ...
The richness and abundance of epigaeic mountain beetles in north-western Patagonia, Argentina: assessment of patterns and environmental correlates
(Wiley, 2014-03)
Aim: Our aims were: (1) to study the shape of the species richness–elevation and abundance–elevation relationships (SRER and AER, respectively) in epigaeic mountain beetles; and (2) to analyse how richness and abundance ...
Livestock grazing affects microclimate conditions for decomposition process through changes in vegetation structure in mountain grasslands
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2018-08)
It is often assumed that a change in litter quality is the main driver of alterations in the decomposition process when grazers modify vegetation structure. Soil microclimate is also modified, but this driver of decomposition ...
Relationships between landform properties and vegetation patterns in the Cerro Zonda Mt., Central Precordillera of San Juan. Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-09)
Arid environments are dynamic systems due, in part, to the action of hydrological processes. However, studies on the relationship between the abiotic factors and the properties of arid vegetation communities of Argentina ...
Mountain roads shift native and non-native plant species' ranges
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-03)
Roads are known to act as corridors for dispersal of plant species. With their variable microclimate, role as corridors for species movement and reoccurring disturbance events, they show several characteristics that might ...
EPR spectroscopic evidence of iron-catalysed free radical formation in chronic mountain sickness: Dietary causes and vascular consequences
(Elsevier, 2022)
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a high-altitude (HA) maladaptation syndrome characterised by elevated systemic oxidative-nitrosative stress (OXNOS) due to a free radical-mediated reduction in vascular nitric oxide (NO) ...
