Types and internal hydro-geomorphologic variability of mallines (wet-meadows) of Patagonia: Emphasis on volcanic plateaus
(Elsevier, 2013-10)
"Mallines" (wet-meadows) are Patagonian ecosystems that provide hydric, biological and scenic resources. They develop in landscape locations that are favourable for water concentration. The area of each "mallin" is usually ...
Long-term grazing negatively affects nitrogen dynamics in Northern Patagonian wet meadows
(Elsevier, 2014-10)
Wet meadows are seasonally saturated wetlands that can develop in arid and semi-arid areas. In the semi-arid region of North Patagonia, Argentina wet meadows are islands of high net primary productivity surrounded by low ...
Grazing intensity levels influence C reservoirs of wet and mesic meadows along a precipitation gradient in Northern Patagonia
(Springer, 2015-11)
Wet meadows are important ecosystems for forage production and as carbon reservoirs in semi-arid areas. In Patagonia, Argentina, large areas of wet meadows have been classified as overgrazed by livestock. The objective of ...
Grazing intensity levels influence C reservoirs of wet and mesic meadows along a precipitation gradient in Northern Patagonia
(Springer, 2015-06)
Wet meadows are important ecosystems for forage production and as carbon reservoirs in semi-arid areas. In Patagonia, Argentina, large areas of wet meadows have been classified as overgrazed by livestock. The objective of ...
Spatial and temporal variation of primary production of Patagonian wet meadows
(Elsevier, 2010-10)
In extra-Andean Patagonia, wet meadows contrast with the prevailing arid steppes, and present a gradient of water availability from the periphery to the center. The objectives of this paper are to describe the spatial and ...
Lithological and geomorphological controls in the development of wet meadows associated with basaltic plateaus of Argentinean Patagonia
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-11)
Arid and semi-arid regions constitute an area where approximately 20% of the global population lives and the groundwater represents the only source of fresh water supply in many cases. In Extra-Andean Patagonia, located ...
Hydrological significance of rock glaciers and other periglacial landforms as sustenance of wet meadows in the Patagonian Andes
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-11)
Wet meadows in mountainous areas are important environments for the ecosystem services provided, mainly those associated with the water supply to local people. In the region of the Patagonian Andes wet meadows are spatially ...
Grazing and Grazing Exclusion Along a Resource Gradient in Magellanic Meadows of Tierra del Fuego
(Society For Range Management, 2013-09)
Although Magellanic meadows have been subject to ungulate herbivory for a long time; they have suffered severe grazing by domestic sheep since the end of the 19th century. We hypothesized that, if protected from grazing, ...
Geogenic arsenic contamination of wet-meadows associated with a geothermal system in an arid region and its relevance for drinking water
(Elsevier, 2020-06-10)
Arsenic (As) is an important component in thermal springs, which can reach water sources constituting an important hazard for both the environment and people. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to analyze the geologic ...
Particulate organic carbon is a sensitive indicator of soil degradation related to overgrazing in Patagonian wet and mesic meadows
(Springer, 2017-09)
Patagonian meadows are key for the development and sustainability of rural environments. However, they have been degraded due to a combination of weather conditions and overgrazing. Total soil organic carbon (TOC) has been ...
