Abstract Question: A set of easily‐measured (‘soft’) plant traits has been identified as potentially useful predictors ecosystem functioning in previous studies. Here we aimed to discover whether the screening techniques remain operational widely contrasted circumstances, test for existence axes variation particular sets traits, and their links with ‘harder’ proven importance functioning. Location: central‐western Argentina, central England, northern upland Iran, north‐eastern Spain....
Abstract. This paper deals with theoretical concepts, methodological steps, and case studies related to the use of plant functional traits in assessment vegetation responses climate land use. Trait‐environment links are considered, special emphasis is put on between structure ecosystem function, role disturbance history determining at present. As a basis for discussion, published new from central‐western Argentina presented. Similar measured different levels precision utilized description...

Abstract: Not all species are likely to be equally affected by habitat fragmentation; thus, we evaluated the effects of size forest remnants on trophically linked communities plants, leaf‐mining insects, and their parasitoids. We explored possibility differential vulnerability area reduction in relation species‐specific food‐web traits comparing species–area regression slopes. Moreover, searched for a synergistic effect these trophic level . collected mined leaves recorded plant, leaf miner,...
Abstract Question What are the composition and spatial patterns of native woody plant communities in southern Great Chaco Espinal? Location Córdoba Province, central Argentina, an area ca . 161,000 km 2 Methods We collected 351 geo‐referenced relevés representative geographic, topographic ecological variation Espinal vegetation Argentina. The were classified into types using hierarchical ISOPAM method. Forest shrubland described on basis diagnostic species occurrences their distribution...
Abstract Aims (1) to compare two series of precipitation data from different periods (1930–1950 and 1950–2000) in three sectors the southern dry C haco arid semi‐arid sub‐regions; (2) construct maps showing distribution land‐cover units for 1979, 1999, 2004 2010 same sectors; (3) assess changes occurred between 1979 sectors. Location Southern extreme NE NW órdoba P rovince, central A rgentina. Methods We compared annual growth period ( N ovember– M arch) among corresponding using repeated...
Abstract Wildfires are a primary disturbance in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina, with approximately 2 152 000 ha burned between 1993 and 2012. However, little is known about spatial temporal patterns of fires their relationship climate vegetation this area. Such information great value for fire risk assessment development strategies management. Our main objective was to analyze activity four sierran ranges, assessing which weather conditions were mostly related activity, land cover types...
Abstract. In this study we report the first application of Landsat TM imagery to Chaco vegetation studies at a regional scale in Argentina. We produced map showing 13 clearly differentiated land‐cover types, and described composition structure plant communities, an area almost 42002 km 2 central The obtained shows that Argentina is highly disturbed. lowland part dominant types are largely cultural landscapes substitute shrublands, which have displaced original forests, leaving only small...

In Argentina the Yungas forests are among ecosystems most affected by human activity, with loss of biodiversity. To assess arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization and fungi (AMF) spore numbers in these ecosystems, roots dominant native plants (one tree, Alnus acuminata; three herbaceous, Duchesnea indica, Oxalis conorrhiza, Trifolium aff. repens; one shrub, Sambucus peruviana) were studied throughout year from two sites forests. Assessments (percent root length, intraradical structures)...
Bidens pilosa L. is a summer annual that shows particular phenological pattern in the Córdoba mountains, Argentina. Some individuals start flowering 1 month after germination (early type), but most of population starts 4 months (normal type). The aims this study were to (1) analyse whether differences phenology affect seed mass and production, (2) assess possible traits two parental types would germinability, rate, seedling growth offspring under laboratory conditions. showed numbers seeds...
