Aquatic microinvertebrate abundance and species diversity in peat bogs of Tierra del Fuego (Argentina)
(Springer Tokyo, 2016-05)
Peat bogs are regarded as extreme environments due to their low pH and low nutrient concentration, and thus hold a unique biota adapted to these particular conditions. The island of Tierra del Fuego encompasses the ...
Desmids (Zygnematophyceae, Streptophyta) community drivers and potential as a monitoring tool in South American peat bogs
(Springer, 2019-05)
Tierra del Fuego Island hosts the largest area of peatlands in the Southern Hemisphere, largely encompassing peat bogs where peat is actively formed and thus acting as carbon sinks. Under a scenario of increasing human ...
Peat bog wetlands of Aisén Region (Chilean Patagonia): Classification and ordination of flora and vegetationHumedales turbosos de la Región de Aisén (Patagonia chilena): Clasificación y ordenación de la flora y la vegetación
(Universidad Austral de Chile, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales., 2021)
Habitat heterogeneity and connectivity shape microbial communities in South American petlands
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-05)
Bacteria play critical roles in peatland ecosystems. However, very little is known of how habitat heterogeneity affects the structure of the bacterial communities in these ecosystems. Here, we used amplicon sequencing of ...
Floristic comparison and anthropic alteration of three sphagnum bogs in the Aisén Region, Chile: looking for management disturbance indicatorsComparación florística y alteración antrópica de tres turberas esfagnosas en la Región de Aisén, Chile: buscando indicadores de perturbación por manejo
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias. Universidad Austral de Chile, 2018)

Control of carbon and nitrogen accumulation by vegetation in pristine bogs of southern Patagonia
(Elsevier Science, 2021-10)
Peatlands are long-term sinks of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) that are exposed to anthropogenic pressure. This has often induced a vegetation shift from peat mosses towards increasing presence of vascular plants. However, ...
Nutrient additions in pristine Patagonian Sphagnum bog vegetation: Can phosphorus addition alleviate (the effects of) increased nitrogen loads
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-05)
Sphagnum-bog ecosystems have a limited capability to retain carbon and nutrients when subjected to increased nitrogen (N) deposition. Although it has been proposed that phosphorus (P) can dilute negative effects of nitrogen ...
Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego and Isla de los Estados Peatlands
(Springer, 2021)
This chapter highlights different aspects of origin, vegetation development and uses of Tierra del Fuego and Isla de los Estados peatlands. Most peatlands in the region were formed when the Last Glaciation was ending, ...
High-resolution classification of south patagonian peat bog microforms reveals potential gaps in up-scaled CH4 fluxes by use of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) and CIR imagery
(MDPI, 2016-01)
South Patagonian peat bogs are little studied sources of methane (CH4). Since CH4 fluxes can vary greatly on a small scale of meters, high-quality maps are needed to accurately quantify CH4 fluxes from bogs. We used ...
