Regional-scale variation on Dromiciops gliroides occurrence, abundance, and activity patterns along a habitat disturbance gradient
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
Habitat structure may have a significant influence on the occurrence, abundance, and activity patterns of forest mammals. However, anthropogenic habitat disturbance changes habitat structure, which may alter those patterns ...
Leaf litter and irrigation can increase seed germination and early seedling survival of the recalcitrant-seeded tree Beilschmiedia miersii
(Blackwell Publishing, 2019)
Although regeneration of recalcitrant-seeded tree species can be affected by prolonged drought, especially in Mediterranean regions, little is known about the response of such species to varying site conditions. A
field ...
Forest canopy-cover composition and landscape influence on bryophyte communities in Nothofagus forests of southern Patagonia
(Public Library Science, 2020)
Bryophytes (liverworts, mosses and hornworts) are one of the most diverse plant groups worldwide but one of the least studied in temperate forests from an ecological perspective. In comparison to vascular plants, bryophytes ...
Pinus contorta invasion into treeless steppe reduces species richness and alters species traits of the local community
(Springer, 2016)
Pinus contorta, one of the most invasive tree species in the world, has been proposed as a model species for improving our understanding of invasion ecology. In this study, we assessed the impact of P. contorta invasions ...
Leaf litter is essential for seed survival of the endemic endangered tree pouteria splendens (Sapotaceae) from central Chile
(Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH, 2018)
Pouteria splendens (A. DC.) Kuntze, the Chilean lucumo, is an endemic tree and the only member of the Sapotaceae family in Chile. It is considered an endangered species as a consequence of its restricted distribution and ...
The recruitment of the recalcitrant-seeded Cryptocarya alba (Mol.) Looser, established via direct seeding is mainly affected by the seed source and forest cover
(MDPI, 2022)
Natural regeneration of recalcitrant-seeded tree species is strongly limited in Mediterraneantype climate zones due to increasing droughts imposed by climate change. Direct seeding can be a low-cost alternative to seedling ...
Representativeness of the particulate matter pollution assessed by an official monitoring station of air quality in Santiago, Chile: projection to human health
(Springer, 2022)
Santiago, capital city of Chile, presents air pollution problems for decades mainly by particulate matter, which significantly affects population health, despite national authority efforts to improve air quality. Different ...
The effects of invasive North American beavers on riparian plant communities in Cape Horn, Chile - Do exotic beavers engineer differently in sub-Antarctic ecosystems?
(ELSEVIER, 2006-04)
North American beavers (Castor canadensis) were introduced into southern South America in 1946. Since that time, their populations have greatly expanded. In their native range, beavers shape riparian ecosystems by selectively ...
Un acercamiento a la ecofisiología del cacao
(Bogotá : Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales, 2003, 2003-09)
In this paper, a biographical scetch, specially for Colombian growing areas, of the main aspects that determine the flowering, fruiting and vegetative development of Theobroma cacao ¡s made. Ecophysiologically the cacao ...
Determinants of grassland primary production in seasonally-dry silvopastoral systems in Central America
(2014-06)
Grassland primary productivity is the function that underpins the majority of the fodder production in cattle-rearing silvopastoral farms. Hence, understanding the factors that determine grassland productivity is critical ...
