Functional syndromes as indicators of ecosystem change in temperate grasslands
(Elsevier, 2018-09-24)
The lack of an organizing conceptual framework to address ecosystem changes reduces our capacity to distinguish biophysical from direct human impacts on grassland dynamics. This is particularly important for subhumid ...
Relationships between fish species abundances and water transparency in hypertrophic turbid waters of temperate shallow lakes
(Wiley Vch Verlag, 2010-05)
We explored the relationships between Secchi disc depth and the abundance of fish species in very shallow, hypertrophic, turbid waters of Pampa Plain lakes, Argentine. We tested whether the abundance of any of the species ...
Heavy metal bioconcentration factors in the burrowing crab Neohelice granulata of a temperate ecosystem in South America: Bahía Blanca estuary, Argentina
(Springer Heidelberg, 2018-10-15)
An extensive population of the burrowing crab, Neohelice granulata, inhabits the intertidal areas of the Bahía Blanca estuary, a moderately polluted temperate ecosystem located to the southwest of the province of Buenos ...
Determinants of biodiversity in subtropical shallow lakes (Atlantic coast, Uruguay)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-12)
SUMMARY 1. Shallow lakes and ponds contribute disproportionally to species richness relative to other aquatic ecosystems. In-lake conditions (e.g. presence of submerged plants) seem to play a key role in determining ...
The importance of macro- and micro-nutrients over climate for leaf litter decomposition and nutrient release in Patagonian temperate forests
(Elsevier Science, 2019-06-01)
Temperate forests play an important role in the global carbon (C) cycle. Extensive research on litter decomposition in temperate forests in the Northern Hemisphere have greatly contributed to our conceptual framework of ...
Silviculture of south american temperate native forests
(SCION, 2022)
Background: South America has the largest area of temperate forests in the Southern Hemisphere, which grow in diverse site conditions. The aim of this paper is to review the practices of silviculture applied and recommended ...
Nitrogen mineralization in two unpolluted old-growth forests of contrasting biodiversity and dynamics
(1998)
Studies in unpolluted, old-growth forests in the coastal range of southern Chile (42°30′S) can provide a baseline for understanding how forest ecosystems are changing due to the acceleration of nitrogen (N) inputs that has ...
Temperate Subantarctic Forests: A Huge Natural Laboratory
(Springer, 2021)
In the southern tip of South America, temperate subantarctic forests develop on both sides of the Andes mountain range. Known in Argentina as Andean-Patagonian forests, these ecosystems cover a narrow but long latitudinal ...
Subtidal kelp associated communities off the temperate Chilean coast
(Farina, J. M.Palma, A. T.Ojeda, F. P.Food webs and trophic dynamics of marine benthic ecosystems, 2008)
The chapter describes the oceanography, biogeography, and the important role that the El Niño cycle plays in Chilean kelp forest ecology. The structure of the food web from primary producers to consumers is described and ...
