Masting has different effects on seed predation by insects and birds in antarctic beech forests with no influence of forest management
(Elsevier Science, 2017-09)
Mast seeding is characteristic of many long-lived tree species and widely proposed as a mechanism to reduce seed predation. However, whether the efficiency of this reproductive response may vary depending on type of seed ...
Flowering and seeding patterns in primary, secondary and silvopastoral managed Nothofagus antarctica forests in South Patagonia
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-06-11)
The success ofthe reproductive process in trees depends on abiotic and biotic factors that determine the final outcome of natural regeneration. Silviculture alters biotic and abiotic factors and results in secondary forest ...
Combining ecological aspects and local knowledge for the conservation of two native mammals in the Gran Chaco
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-12)
Land use changes in the South American Gran Chaco affect native fauna and the ecosystem services (ES) they provide. The consequences of defaunation and the empty forest syndrome have been identified in tropical and subtropical ...

Nature and effect of Alternaria spp. complex from wheat grain on germination and disease transmission
(Pakistan Botanical Society, 2013-09)
Diseases caused by Alternaria sp. are among the most common diseases of crops throughout the world. Alternaria sp. is a common component of the flora of wheat seed. Although isolation of Alternaria sp. from wheat (Triticum ...
Impact of grazing on species composition: Adding complexity to a generalized model
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-12)
The impact of grazing widely differs among plant communities. A generalized model published in 1988 proposed that this variation could be accounted for by the interaction between primary productivity and the evolutionary ...
Knowledge arising from long-term research of variable retention harvesting in Tierra del Fuego: where do we go from here?
(Springer, 2019-07)
Nothofagus pumilio forests in Tierra del Fuego are the southernmost forests in the world, where extreme climate conditions represent a challenge to attain sustainable forest management. Retention forestry was proposed as ...
