Anthropogenic disturbance impact on the stem growth of Prosopis flexuosa DC forests in the Monte desert of Argentina: A dendroecological approach
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2017-03)
Anthropogenic disturbance acts globally as an ecological process with long-term implication on the ecosystem equilibrium. In the central-western Argentina (Desierto del Monte Central: DMC), the desert Prosopis flexuosa ...
Spatial patterns of soil resources under different land use in Prosopis woodlands of the Monte desert
(Elsevier Science, 2017-02)
Changes in the spatial distribution of resources constitute an indicator of degradation of arid grazing lands. In arid and semi-arid ecosystems, the distribution of soil resources has been commonly associated with the ...
Carbon storage, community structure and canopy cover: A comparison along a precipitation gradient
(Elsevier Science, 2011-10)
Protected areas play a significant role in carbon storage in arid and semi-arid land. In the central region of Argentina, there are three nature reserves located along a West to East rainfall gradient between two different ...
