The existence of reservoirs from which dominant plants recruit after disturbances is a key factor in ecosystem resilience. Where do woody species regenerate from in the semiarid Neotropical Chaco forest? Is land use affecting ...

Cuando se habla de degradación en los bosques se hace referencia a la pérdida de productividad y biodiversidad ocasionada por distintos tipos de disturbios como los incendios, tala indiscriminada, el sobrepastoreo y las ...

Identifying deforested areas with high potential for natural forest recovery can be used as an aid for ecological restoration projects at large-scale. However, accurate predictions that infer the resilience (i.e. recovery ...

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 ...

We examine the response of Nothofagus forests to climate change and disturbance regimes over the last 3200 years near Coyhaique (45 degrees S), central-east Chilean Patagonia, using fine-resolution pollen and charcoal ...

Ecosystem functions provided by forests are threatened by direct and indirect effects of global change drivers such as climate warming land-use change, biological invasions, and shifting natural disturbance regimes. To ...

Livestock can affect physical and chemical soil properties, depending on both stocking rates, and intrinsic soil properties. This study aimed to analyze changes in physicochemical properties in volcanic soils under ...
