ENSO Drives interannual variation of forest woody growth across the tropics
(Royal Soc, 2018-11-19)
Meteorological extreme events such as El Nino events are expected to affect tropical forest net primary production (NPP) and woody growth, but there has been no large-scale empirical validation of this expectation. We ...
Spatial and temporal patterns of herbaceous primary production in semi-arid shrublands: a remote sensing approach
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-07)
Questions: Can herbaceous above-ground net primary production (ANPP) be estimated from remote sensing when woody and herbaceous plants are intermingled? How does herbaceous ANPP change in space and time in an ecosystem ...
Patrones espaciales y temporales de la productividad primaria neta aérea herbácea y leñosa en el Chaco Árido (Argentina)
(Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2017-09)
En esta tesis se propuso describir la variación espacio-temporal de la productividad primaria neta aérea (PPNA) de tipos funcionales herbáceos y leñosos a escalas predial y regional. Para ello fue necesario generar ...
Changes in evapotranspiration and phenology as consequences of shrub removal in dry forests of central Argentina
(Wiley, 2015-10)
More than half of the dry woodlands (forests and shrublands) of the world are in South America, mainly in Brazil and Argentina, where in the last years intense land use changes have occurred. This study evaluated how the ...
Spatial and temporal patterns of herbaceous primary production in semi‐arid shrublands: a remote sensing approach
(2016-07)
Questions: Can herbaceous above‐ground net primary production (ANPP) be estimated from remote sensing when woody and herbaceous plants are intermingled? How does herbaceous ANPP change in space and time in an ecosystem ...
Stand-level patterns of carbon fluxes and partitioning in a Eucalyptus grandis plantation across a gradient of productivity, in Sao Paulo State, Brazil
(OXFORD UNIV PRESSOXFORD, 2012)
Wood production represents a large but variable fraction of gross primary production (GPP) in highly productive Eucalyptus plantations. Assessing patterns of carbon (C) partitioning (C flux as a fraction of GPP) between ...
The Oldest, Slowest Rainforests in the World? Massive Biomass and Slow Carbon Dynamics of Fitzroya cupressoides Temperate Forests in Southern Chile
(Public Library Science, 2015)
Old-growth temperate rainforests are, per unit area, the largest and most long-lived stores of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere, but their carbon dynamics have rarely been described. The endangered Fitzroya cupressoides ...
Carbon isotopic signatures of soil organic matter correlate with leaf area index across woody biomes
(Wiley, 2014-11)
Leaf area index (LAI), a measure of canopy density, is a key variable for modelling and understanding primary productivity, and also water use and energy exchange in forest ecosystems. However, LAI varies considerably with ...
Synergistic Interactions of Grassland Fragmentation, Fire and Invasive Woody Plants in the Argentine Pampas
(Nova Science Publishers, 2020)
Habitat fragmentation and biological invasions have long been considered the primary cause for biodiversity loss and the most threats to the conservation of ecosystems and their environmental services. Research on these ...
