Wood biophysical properties and the dynamics of water storage discharge refilling were studied in trunk canopy tree species with diverse life history functional traits subtropical forests northeast Argentina. Multiple techniques assessing capacitance capacity used simultaneously to improve our understanding significance internal sources trunks large trees. Sapwood capacitances 10 characterized using pressure–volume relationships sapwood samples obtained from trunk. Frequency domain...
The canopy photosynthesis and carbon balance of the subtropical forests are not well studied compared to temperate tropical forest ecosystems. main objective this study was assess seasonal dynamics Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) potential in relation changes leaf area index (LAI), chlorophyll concentration, air temperatures NE Argentina throughout year. We included analysis several tree plantations (Pinus, Eucalyptus Araucaria species) that known have high productivity. Field...
ABSTRACT Aims A key challenge in applied vegetation science is understanding the impact of herbivory on plant communities. Herbivores often reduce dominant species' abundance (biomass, cover), making resources available for new species and increasing diversity. This crucial systems undergoing ecological restoration through trophic rewilding. In Iberá National Park, Argentina, jaguars ( Panthera onca ) are being reintroduced after a 70‐year absence, it critical to assess role herbivores...
Frost and drought are key stress factors limiting the growth distribution of tree species. Resistance to involves energy costs that may result in trade-offs between different functional traits. Structures or mechanisms can help withstand imply differences carbon economy Although adaptive responses frost resistance usually a similar nature, they rarely assessed simultaneously. We investigated these 10 canopy species coexisting semi-deciduous subtropical forests northern Argentina. measured...
Abstract Burrowing species can be considered important ecosystem engineers that increase landscape heterogeneity, create subterranean shelters and provide foraging opportunities. We measured described different aspects of giant armadillo ( Priodontes maximus ) excavations (size, age), differences generated in relation to the surrounding environment (vegetation, humidity, temperature) three sites Argentine Chaco Region. used camera‐traps two protected areas monitor use burrows by other tested...
Tree physiological processes are affected not only by environmental conditions, but also phenological leaf stages. During foliar expansion, rapid changes occur, such as the activation of metabolic that encompass a hydraulic link between xylem and phloem pathways at whole-tree level. Daily seasonal in stem diameter may reveal different temporal dynamics water use recharge tree reservoirs. Foliar patterns were studied relation to dimensional 10 canopy species with (three deciduous, three...
To conserve a representative area of the subtropical forests Misiones, globally endangered ecosystem, it is necessary to find viable economic solution for areas destined under Law 26331 exclusively sustainable management native forest, and reduce deforestation in where replacement forest permitted (901617 ha 477858 ha, respectively, according latest land use planning by Province Misiones). Since middle last century, public policies have provided incentives plantations trees other crops,...
Recently, wetlands have declined worldwide due mainly to habitat loss by human activities.In order achieve a better understanding of the impacts that are being generated on Iberá wetland in northeastern Argentina, objective this study is analyze seasonal variation environments present sandy ridges areas wetland.The different were identifi ed and characterized according their topography, vegetation physiognomy dominance species.In addition, communities occurring was analyzed terms fl oristic...
Intensive farming systems benefit from the additional ecosystem services provided by tree integration, which generate different growing conditions for main crop. We studied yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) responses to in monoculture (the conventional cropping system of mate) and three agroforestry systems: (1) + Balfourodendron riedelianum; (2) Peltophorum dubium; (3) Toona ciliata. Mainly, we focused on water relations hydraulic architecture mate. Agroforestry a shade cover around 34–45%...
La fenología foliar responde de manera sensible a distintas señales ambientales. coordinación entre las fases fenológicas y estas le permite especies ajustar el momento óptimo para expandir sus hojas crecer, así como evitar los posibles daños que causan condiciones ambientales desfavorables. Por otro lado, en deciduas, la altura árboles es factor clave, ya eventos expansión caída individuos del dosel determinan disponibilidad luz menor altura. El objetivo nuestro trabajo fue conocer qué...
