We studied the decomposition of shoot and root tissues of four plant species from central Argentina belonging to contrasting functional types: a deciduous shrub (Acacia caven), a perennial forb (Hyptis mutabilis), an annual ...

To understand the ecophysiology of natural regeneration above- and below-ground nutrient tissue concentration and leaf pigment changes in Nothofagus pumilio (lenga) seedlings grown in three light intensities (4%, 26% and ...

Fire is a fundamental ecological factor in savannas because it affects vegetation dynamics and ecosystem functioning. However, the effects of fire on below-ground compartments, including biomass and root traits, and their ...

To understand the ecophysiology of natural regeneration above- and below-ground nutrient tissue concentration and leaf pigment changes in Nothofagus pumilio (lenga) seedlings grown in three light intensities (4%, 26% and ...

While considerable attention has been devoted to how precipitation modulates net primary productivity in arid and semi-arid ecosystems, the emergence of multi-faceted controls on carbon (C) turnover suggests that there is ...

Salt marshes are capable of reducing metal pollution in coastal waters, but this capacity is highly dependent on the metal, the physico-chemical characteristics of the sediment, the plant species, the production of biomass, ...

Biomass dynamics, decomposition and nutrient cycling were studied in a Sarcocornia perennis salt marsh in the Bahia Blanca estuary (Argentina) to achieve a better understanding of these processes and provide information ...

The aim of this work was to study Cr, Ni, Zn, and P bioaccumulation in different compartments of Typha domingensis plants and sediment in a free-water surface constructed wetland for the treatment of a metallurgical effluent ...
