Dendroecology of Prosopis flexuosa woodlands in the Monte desert: Implications for their management
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2005-09)
In the Monte desert of Argentina open woodlands of several species of Prosopis occur in areas with accessible underground water. The great latitudinal extent of the Monte (26-43°S) exhibits strong climatic gradients involving ...
Bird species richness, diversity and abundance in Polylepis woodlands, Huascaran biosphere reserve, Peru
(Taylor and Francis, 2011)
We examined patterns in bird community composition across a fragmented high-Andean Polylepis landscape currently afforded protection within the Huascaran Biosphere Reserve, Peru. Across five different locations we found ...
Woodland degradation effects on brea gum (Parkinsonia praecox) production
(Taylor, 2010)
A comparative study of the effects of woodland degradation on ‘‘brea’’ (Parkinsonia praecox) gum production was conducted in the Arid Chaco, Argentina, over a two-year period. We also analyzed the relationship of brea gum ...
Intermediate harvesting intensities enhance native tree performance of contrasting species while conserving herbivore diversity in a Patagonian woodland
(Elsevier Science, 2021-03)
Sustainable forest management should optimise the balance between tree productivity and biodiversity conservation. One strategy to achieve both is the use of native plantations in biomass extraction systems. However, it ...
Diversity of plants and mammals as indicators of the effects of land management types in woodlands
(Springer, 2021-12)
Background: The ecological indicators are useful tools to determine the effects of human disturbances on woodland biodiversity. Nevertheless, ecological indicators not always responded in the same way to disturbances, and ...
Diversity, functionality, and resilience under increasing harvesting intensities in woodlands of northern Patagonia
(Elsevier Science, 2020-10)
Sustainable forest management relies on the understanding of biodiversity response to disturbance and the ecological resilience of the system. The dynamic equilibrium hypothesis (DEM) predicts that site productivity will ...
Water subsidies from mountains to deserts: their role in sustaining groundwater-fed oases in a sandy landscape
(Ecological Society of America, 2011-04)
In arid regions throughout the world, shallow phreatic aquifers feed natural oases of much higher productivity than would be expected solely from local rainfall. In South America, the presence of well-developed Prosopis ...
