Radial growth patterns associated with tree mortality in Nothofagus pumilio forest
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2019-06)
Tree mortality is a key process in forest dynamics. Despite decades of effort to understand this process, many uncertainties remain. South American broadleaf species are particularly under-represented in global studies on ...
Hydraulic dysfunction due to root-exposure-initiated water stress is responsible for the mortality of Salix gordejevii shrubs on the windward slopes of active sand dunes
(Springer, 2020-11)
Aims: Sand-fixing shrub Salix gordejevii plays an important role in sand dune stabilization but often shows severe decline and mortality on the windward slopes of active dunes. The objective of this study was to explore ...
Trends and geographic pattern of stomach cancer mortality in Peru
(Elsevier, 2018)
Background: Stomach cancer mortality rates in South America are among the highest in the world. In Peru, stomach cancer has the highest absolute number of cancer deaths in both sexes combined. We estimated mortality rates ...
