Predicting ecosystem collapse: Spatial factors that influence risks to tropical ecosystems
(Wiley, 2015)
Biological traits explain extinction at the species level, but what factors explain collapse at the
ecosystem level? Using ecosystem Red List criteria from the International Union for Conservation of Nature, we
calculated ...
A framework for the classification Chilean terrestrial ecosystems as a tool for achieving global conservation targets
(Springer, 2017)
Countries that are signatories of the Convention of Biological Diversity are committed to the goal of protecting 17% of their natural ecosystems by 2020. The lack of an up-to-date, operational classification and cartography ...
Copper distribution in Mediterranean forest ecosystems Distribución del cobre en ecosistemas forestales de tipo Mediterraneo
(2002)
We have analyzed the distribution of copper concentrations, and the effects of anthropogenic inputs, in the components of two forest ecosystems using a comparative approach. Ecosystem components were defined using a ...
Assessment of quality of input data used to classify ecosystems according to the IUCN Red List methodology: The case of the central Chile hotspot
(Elsevier, 2016-12)
During the last decade, the IUCN has developed criteria analogous to the Red List of Threatened Species to perform similar risk assessment on ecosystems, creating the Red List of Ecosystems methodology. One of the most ...
A Prediction Model of the Project Life-Span in Open Source Software Ecosystem
(Springer New York LLC, 2019)
© 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.In nature ecosystems, animal life-spans are determined by genes and some other biological characteristics. Similarly, the software project life-spans ...
Ecosystem services: Where on earth?
(Elsevier, 2015)
The analysis of temporal changes in the number of scientific articles vvritten on ecosystem services shows an exponential growth from 1991 to 2013. Hovvever, it also shows a lack of information regarding the location of ...
Ecosystem services and ecosystem degradation: environmentalist’s expectation
(Elsevier, 2020)
In this article, we explore the connections between ecosystem degradation and ecosystem services. We discuss an operational definition of ecosystem degradation and applied it to the terrestrial ecosystem of Chiloe Island ...
Mapping of ecosystem services: Missing links between purposes and procedures
(Elsevier, 2015)
The literature on ecosystem services mapping presents a diversity of procedures whose consistency might question the reliability of maps for decision making This study aims at analyzing the correspondence between the purpose ...
The urban matrix matters: Quantifying the effects of surrounding urban vegetation on natural habitat remnants in Santiago de Chile
(Elsevier B.V., 2018)
© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Urbanization destroys and fragments natural habitats, resulting in a system of natural remnants embedded in an urban matrix. Urban natural remnants (UNRs) can provide multiple ecosystem services for ...
Ecosystem engineering across ecosystems: do engineer species sharing common features have generalized or idiosyncratic effects on species diversity?
(BLACKWELL, 2006-02)
Aim To integrate the effects of ecosystem engineers (organisms that create, maintain or destroy habitat for other species) sharing the same archetype on species diversity, and assess whether different engineer species have ...
