Landforms and soil attributes determine the vegetation structure in the Brazilian semiarid
(Folia Geobotanica, 2018)
Patterns in soil chemical weathering related to topographic gradients and vegetation structure in a high andean tropical ecosystem
(2019)
Although climate exerts a major control on mineral weathering and soil formation processes, the
combined effect of vegetation and topography can influence the rate and extent of chemical weathering at the
hillslope scale. ...
Swamp vegetations in Brazilian hotspots: Threats, phytogeographical patterns and influences of climate
(2021-01-01)
This study reviews and synthesizes information regarding swamps exposed to permanent waterlogging throughout the two Brazilian biodiversity hotspots: the Cerrado and the Atlantic Forest. Our aims were to answer the following ...
Wetlands of the Magellanic Steppe (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina)
(Springer, 2009-09)
Our main objective was to classify vegetation and soils of wetlands in northern Tierra del Fuego (Argentina) along a latitudinal precipitation gradient within the Magellanic Steppe Zone. We presented the first detailed ...
Area-Wide Prediction of Vertebrate and Invertebrate Hole Density and Depth across a Climate Gradient in Chile Based on UAV and Machine Learning
(MDPI, 2021)
Burrowing animals are important ecosystem engineers affecting soil properties, as their burrowing activity leads to the redistribution of nutrients and soil carbon sequestration. The magnitude of these effects depends on ...
The role of soils in phenology and herbivory in a tropical grassland–Savanna–forest gradient
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - DEPARTAMENTO DE BOTÂNICAPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Biologia VegetalUFMG, 2021-11-27)
The evolutionary responses of plants vary according to the soil availability resources, which is
one of the main factors responsible for species communities’ composition. In old, climatically
buffered, infertile landscapes ...
Comparison of regolith physical and chemical characteristics with geophysical data along a climate and ecological gradient, Chilean Coastal Cordillera (26 to 38 degrees S)
(Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH, 2020)
We combine geophysical observations from ground-penetrating radar (GPR) with regolith physical and chemical properties from pedons excavated in four study areas spanning 1300 km of the climate and ecological gradient in ...
Soil dehydrogenase in a land degradation-rehabilitation gradient: observations from a savanna site with a wet/dry seasonal cycle
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2009)
