The effect of altitude and grazing on seedling establishment of woody species in central Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2013-03)
Understanding the factors that determine altitudinal distribution of species is very important to evaluate the influence of global change. Although climate is the major driver of vegetation distribution, other factors, ...
Trade-Offs between Drought Survival and Rooting Strategy of Two South American Mediterranean Tree Species: Implications for Dryland Forests Restoration
(MDPI, 2015)
Differences in water-acquisition strategies of tree root systems can determine the capacity to survive under severe drought. We evaluate the effects of field water shortage on early survival, growth and root morphological ...
Are field crops refuge for woody invaders? Rainfall, crop type and management shaped tree invasion in croplands
(Elsevier Science, 2021-10)
Woody encroachment represents a global concern which is mostly studied in natural and semi-natural grasslands and savannas. Woody invasion is a growing phenomenon in agricultural landscapes, but it remains elusive how ...
Differential seedling establishment of woody plants along a tree density gradient in Neotropical savannas
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-11)
Seedling dynamics are crucial for understanding spatial plant distribution patterns, yet little is known about seedling establishment in Neotropical savannas because empirical studies at the community level are scarce. ...
Differences between root traits of early- and late-successional trees influence below-ground competition and seedling establishment.
(Journal of Tropical Ecology, v. 32, n. 4, p. 300-313, Jul. 2016., 2016)
Survival and growth of Nothofagus pumilio seedlings under several microenvironments after variable retention harvesting in southern Patagonian forests
(INRA : Springer, 2014)
Context:
Variable retention prescriptions for Nothofagus pumilio forests provide for biodiversity conservation and natural regeneration by controlled opening of the canopy. Harvesting generates different microenvironments ...
Environmental constraints to native woody species recruitment in invaded mountain woodlands of central Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2019-05)
Nowadays forests, which were formerly considered resistant to invasion due to its shady understories, are been transformed to invaded landscapes. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the regeneration of native woody ...
Survival and growth of Nothofagus pumilio seedlings under several microenvironments after variable retention harvesting in southern Patagonian forests
(Springer, 2014-05-01)
Context: Variable retention prescriptions for Nothofagus pumilio forests provide for biodiversity conservation and natural regeneration by controlled opening of the canopy. Harvesting generates different microenvironments ...
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 ...
