Flora of the hot deserts: emerging patterns from phylogeny-based diversity studies
(Wiley, 2020)Relatively recent increases in molecular and geographic data for many taxa in different areas of the world have provided scientists with tools to evaluate biodiversity using evolutionary or phylogeny-based indices (reviewed ... -
Social valuation of Mediterranean cultural landscapes: Exploring landscape preferences and ecosystem services perceptions through a visual approach
(MDPI, 2020)Mediterranean cultural landscapes have been recognized as multifunctional landscapes that are currently threatened by two opposing trends: rural abandonment and agricultural intensification. Uncovering people's perceptions ... -
Linking above-ground biomass production to below-ground carbon fluxes across stocking, clone, fertilization, and understory elimination in Pinus radiata D.Don plantations, New Zealand
(Elsevier, 2020)The linkage between above-ground biomass production and below-ground carbon fluxes as influenced by silviculture has been insufficiently studied. We tested the effects of stocking, clone, fertilization, and follow-up ... -
A comparison between traditional ordinary least-squares regression and three methods for enforcing additivity in biomass equations using a sample of Pinus radiata trees
(Scion, 2020)Background: Additivity has long been recognised as a desirable property of systems of equations to predict the biomass of components and the whole tree. However, most tree biomass studies report biomass equations fitted ... -
Baseline of carbon stocks in pinus radiata and eucalyptus spp. plantations of Chile
(MDPI, 2020)Forest plantations have a large potential for carbon sequestration, playing an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, despite the large amount of research carried out worldwide, the absolute contribution of ... -
Monitoring biochemical limitations to photosynthesis in N and P-limited radiata pine using plant functional traits quantified from hyperspectral imagery
(Elsevier, 2020)The prediction of carbon uptake by forests across fertility gradients requires accurate characterisation of how biochemical limitations to photosynthesis respond to variation in key elements such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus ... -
Notes on the genus Ophryosporus (Asteraceae, Eupatorieae) in Chile
(Pensoft Publishers, 2020)Ophryosporus Meyen is reviewed for Chile and an updated species list for the country based on herbarium records and literature review is presented. A key to the Chilean species is provided and a distribution range of taxa ... -
Exploring the influence of upwelling on the total allowed catch and harvests of a benthic gastropod managed under a territorial user rights for fisheries regime along the Chilean coast
(Elsevier, 2020)While there is a broad understanding of upwelling impacts on the functioning of marine ecosystems, empirical data that link this process to commercial species landings have not received the attention they deserve. The aim ... -
Efecto de la concentración de fósforo y calcio sobre atributos morfo-fisiológicos y potencial de crecimiento radical en plantas de Aextoxicon punctatum producidas a raíz cubierta en la etapa de endurecimiento
(Universidad Austral de Chile, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales, 2020)The success of restoration programs through the establishment of a vegetable cover on altered areas is directly related to morpho-physiological attributes of plants established on field conditions. These attributes have ... -
Range-wide genetic structure in the thorn-tailed rayadito suggests limited gene flow towards peripheral populations
(Nature, 2020)Understanding the population genetic consequences of habitat heterogeneity requires assessing whether patterns of gene flow correspond to landscape configuration. Studies of the genetic structure of populations are still ... -
Daily and seasonal variation of the surface temperature lapse rate and 0 degrees C isotherm height in the western subtropical Andes
(Wiley, 2020)The spatial distribution of surface air temperatures is essential for understanding and modelling high-relief environments. Good estimations of the surface temperature lapse rate (STLR) and the 0 degrees C isotherm height ... -
Botanical Composition and Diet Quality of the Vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna Mol.) in Highland Range of Parinacota, Chile
(MDPI, 2020)Simple Summary For the proper management of grazing wild ungulates, it is very important to know the botanical composition and quality of their selected diets. In the case of the vicuna, a wild camelid that lives in the ... -
Silvicultural considerations for the production of poles in Pinus radiata D. Don plantations in Chile
(Univ. Pinar Rio Hermanos Saiz Montes Oca, 2020)The production of poles in Chile is done by choosing trees specially selected for that purpose, however, the forestry that is massively applied is oriented to the simultaneous production of pruned, sawn and pulpable logs. ... -
Fine scale approach to propose conservation areas for the endangered andean cat (Leopardus jacobita) in the chilean dry puna
(Elsevier, 2020)One of the challenges of working with rare or elusive species is knowing their current distribution. Species distribution modeling (SDM) is a robust approach to estimate the distribution of a species where this information is ... -
Genomic analysis of the domestication and post-Spanish conquest evolution of the llama and alpaca
(BMC, 2020)Background Despite their regional economic importance and being increasingly reared globally, the origins and evolution of the llama and alpaca remain poorly understood. Here we report reference genomes for the llama, and ... -
Different predictors shape the diversity patterns of Epiphytic and Non-epiphytic liverworts in Montane Forests of Uganda
(Frontiers Media, 2020)We studied the influence of regional and local variables on the liverwort diversity within natural forest vegetation of Uganda to contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms and processes determining species richness. ... -
Phylogeny and historical biogeography of Hydrophyllaceae and Namaceae, with a special reference to Phacelia and Wigandia
(Taylor & Fracis, 2020)This study aimed to examine the systematic position of South American species ofPhacelia(Hydrophyllaceae) andWigandia(Namaceae) and the historical biogeography of Hydrophyllaceae and Namaceae using molecular dating and ... -
Pine plantations and five decades of land use change in central Chile
(Public Library Science, 2020)The expansion of forest plantations is cause for concern because of their environmental effects, and the loss of native forests and agricultural land. Our goal was to quantify the increase in pine plantation, and concomitant ... -
Water crisis in Petorca basin, Chile: The combined effects of a mega-drought and water management
(MDPI, 2020)Since 2010, Chile has experienced one of the most severe droughts over the last century, the so-called mega-drought (MD). The MD conditions, combined with intensive agricultural activities and the current water management ...
