Twelve year change in tree diversity and spatial segregation in the Mediterranean city of Santiago, Chile
(Elsevier, 2018)
Tree diversity is one of the most important components of urban ecosystems, because it provides multiple
ecological benefits and contributes to human well-being. However, the distribution of urban trees may be
spatially ...
Stone pine (Pinus pinea) growth and cone yield as a function of planting density in Chile
(UACH, 2020)
Pinus pinea (stone pine) is an important species for its delicious seeds –the pine nuts–, the most expensive dry fruit worldwide. In native habitats, planting density is a key silvicultural tool in this highly heliophile ...
Gap-phase dynamics and coexistence of a long-lived pioneer and shade-tolerant tree species in the canopy of an old-growth coastal temperate rain forest of Chiloe Island, Chile
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2008-09)
Aim A major question with regard to the ecology of temperate rain forests in south-central Chile is how pioneer and shade-tolerant tree species coexist in old-growth forests. We explored the correspondence between tree ...
Do carbon-based defences reduce foliar damage? Habitat-related effects on tree seedling performance in a temperate rainforest of Chiloe Island, Chile
(SPRINGER, 2006-01)
Carbon-based secondary compounds (CBSCs), such as phenols or tannins, have been considered as one of the most important and general chemical barriers of woody plants against a diverse array of herbivores. Herbivory has ...
Complexity-Regularized Tree-Structured Partition for Mutual Information Estimation
(2012-03)
A new histogram-based mutual information estimator using data-driven tree-structured partitions (TSP) is presented in this paper. The derived TSP is a solution to a complexity regularized empirical information maximization, ...
Long-term performance of ‘Gala’ Fuji’ and ‘Honeycrisp’ apple trees grafted on Geneva® rootstocks and trained to four production systems under New York State climatic conditions
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
In 2006, two 1-ha orchard trials were established at each of two sites (Dressel farm in Southeastern New York State and VandeWalle farm in Western New York State) to compare seven Geneva® rootstocks (‘CG.4210’ ‘G.11’ ‘G.16’ ...
Decomposing recruitment limitation for an avian-dispersed rain forest tree in an anciently fragmented landscape
(British Ecological Society, 2013)
1. Forest fragmentation may intensify recruitment limitation through impacts on seed production,
dissemination and seedling establishment processes. In an ancient mosaic of fog-dependent rain forest
patches on coastal ...
The adjustment of Prosopis tamarugo hydraulic architecture traits has a homeostatic effect over its performance under descent of phreatic level in the Atacama Desert
(Springer, 2020)
Key message Prosopis tamarugo undergoes several modifications of its hydraulic architecture, which has a homeostatic effect on its performance under descent of phreatic level. Groundwater extraction for mining has generated ...
Determinants of grassland primary production in seasonally-dry silvopastoral systems in Central America
(2014-06)
Grassland primary productivity is the function that underpins the majority of the fodder production in cattle-rearing silvopastoral farms. Hence, understanding the factors that determine grassland productivity is critical ...
