Forest biomass stocks and dynamics across the subtropical Andes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-10)
Forest biomass plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Therefore, understanding the factors that control forest biomass stocks and dynamics is a key challenge in the context of global change. We analyzed data ...
Disturbance history and dynamics of an old-growth nothofagus forest in Southern Patagonia
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-01)
The identification of disturbance events using disturbance chronologies has become a valuable tool in reconstructing disturbance history in temperate forests worldwide; yet detailed reconstructions of disturbance history ...
Variation in woody vegetation among sites with different disturbance histories in the Argentine Chaco
(Elsevier Science, 2003-10-03)
We studied the composition and structure of the woody plant community in a logged/grazed forest, an abandoned road, a burned forest, and a primary forest as a control. The disturbances occurred 10 years prior to the study. ...
Response of saproxylic insect communities to logging history, tree species, stage of decay, and wood posture in the central Nearctic boreal forest
(Northeast Forestry University, 2018-09)
Saproxylic insect assemblages are essential functional components of forest ecosystems that can be affected by forest management. We used a split-plot ANOVA design to analyze differences in selected saproxylic insects (all ...
State and transition model approach in native forests of Southern Patagonia (Argentina): linking ecosystem services, thresholds and resilience
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-04)
The sustainable use of ñire forests requires knowledge of its dynamics and management to maintain long-term main forest ecosystem services. The aim of this work was to develop a structural–functional state and transition ...
Impacts of domestic cattle on forest and woody ecosystems in southern South America
(Springer, 2018-08)
There is a long lasting debate on the effects of domestic cattle grazing on natural ecosystems worldwide. Cattle are generally assumed to have negative effects on forest conservation; however, several studies also report ...
A Holocene history of monkey puzzle tree (pehuén) in northernmost Patagonia
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-04)
Aim: Although it is established that climate and fire have greatly influenced the long-term ecosystem dynamics of Patagonia south of 40°S, the environmental history from northernmost Patagonia (37–40°S), where endemic and ...
Genetic diversity and population structure in Nothofagus pumilio, a foundation species of Patagonian forests: defining priority conservation areas and management
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-11)
Patagonian forests are the southernmost temperate forests in the world, and Nothofagus pumilio is one of their most ecologically important tree species (i.e., a foundation species). It presents great adaptability and a ...
Land use changes and bird diversity in subtropical forests: urban development as the underlying factor
(Springer, 2022-12-15)
The Serrano Chaco forest is the least extended Gran Chaco forest type with a long his tory of human disturbances, such as ranching, urbanization, fires, an exotic tree species expansion, which have altered natural vegetation ...
δ13C and δ15N Characterization of Modern Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus) from the Patagonian Andean Forest. Scope and Limitations of Their Use as a Geographical Marker
(Wiley, 2014-04)
This paper presents an isotopic characterization (δ13C and δ15N) of modern huemul from Patagonian Andean forest. This deer is considered an endemic species, now inhabiting the sub-Antarctic forest of Chile and Argentina. ...
