Projected hydroclimate changes over Andean basins in central Chile from downscaled CMIP5 models under the low and high emission scenarios
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)
© 2018, Springer Nature B.V. This study examines the projections of hydroclimatic regimes and extremes over Andean basins in central Chile (∼ 30–40° S) under a low and high emission scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5, respectively). ...
Enhanced spring convective barrier for monsoons in a warmer world?
(2011)
Twenty-first century climate model projections show an amplification of the annual cycle in tropical precipitation with increased strength in both wet and dry seasons, but uncertainty is large and few studies have examined ...
First glacier inventory and recent changes in Glacier area in the Monte San Lorenzo Region (47 S), Southern Patagonian Andes, South America
(2013)
We present the first glacier inventory of the Monte San Lorenzo region (47 35'S, 72 18'W) in the southern Patagonian Andes of Chile and Argentina. This region contains the largest and easternmost glaciers at these latitudes ...
Planetary boundaries and Veterinary Services
(OFFICE INT EPIZOOTIES, 2021)
National Veterinary Services (NVS) play a crucial role in animal health, production and welfare. They are also intimately involved with safeguarding global health security and the health of the planet. Climate change is ...
Pollen limitation and spatial variation of reproductive success in the insect-pollinated shrub Chuquiraga opposotifolia (Asteraceae) in the Chilian Andes
(2006)
Low temperatures, short growing seasons, and strong winds, which constrain the abundance and activity of insect pollinators, characterize alpine ecosystems. In northern hemisphere alpine environments, the reproductive ...
Limitations and Relevance of Biological Nitrogen Fixation during Postglacial Succession in Cordillera Darwin, Tierra del Fuego, Chile
(Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, 2017)
© 2017 Regents of the University of Colorado. We tested the main hypothesis that nutrient accumulation during late stages of postglacial succession would decrease nutrient limitation of diazotrophic activity. We tested ...
Display size preferences and foraging habits of high andean butterflies pollinating Chaetanthera lycopodioides (Asteraceae) in the subnival of the central Chilean Andes
(2007)
In our study, we asked whether butterflies visiting Chaetanthera lycopodioides (Asteraceae) in the subnival at 3450 m a.s.l. in the central Andes prefer larger floral displays. To answer this question, we compared the ...
Postdispersal seed predation on sisyrinchium arenarium (Iridaceae) at two elevations in the central Chilean Andes
(Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, 2002)
Postdispersal seed predation in alpine communities has received surprisingly little attention. We evaluate the magnitude of seed predation by ants and avian granivores in the perennial herb Sisyrinchium arenarium through ...
Changes in vegetation spring dates in the second half of the twentieth century
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2011)
This study aims at estimating trends in spring phenology from vegetation index and air temperature at 2m height. To this end, we have developed a methodology to infer spring phenological dates from Global Inventory Modeling ...
