Estimated economic impacts of seven invasive alien species in Chile
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)This findings abstract presents preliminary estimates of the economic impact of seven invasive alien species (IAS) in Chile on productive sectors of the economy and biodiversity. The study was required by decision-makers ... -
Vacant lands as refuges for native birds: An opportunity for biodiversity conservation in cities
(Elsevier, 2020)Vacant land in growing cities is commonly targeted for development because it is perceived as wasted land that provides no benefit for people or nature. However, vacant sites might contribute to biodiversity conservation. ... -

Hotspots and ecoregion vulnerability driven by climate change velocity in Southern South America
(Springer, 2020)Any conservation strategy must deal with the uncertainty caused by anthropogenic climate change. In order to forecast such changes, the climate change velocity approach has been used to measure ecosystem exposure to this ... -
Nitrogen loading of Eucalyptus globulus seedlings: nutritional dynamics and influence on morphology and root growth potential
(Springer, 2020)Achieving successful outplanting of trees on increasingly harsher sites is a global concern. In Chile, for example, new Eucalyptus globulus plantations are being targeted to poorer, low fertility sites where additional ... -
Outplanting performance of three provenances of Quillaja saponaria Mol. established in a mediterranean drought-prone site and grown in different container size
(SISEF-Soc Italiana Selvicoltura Ecol Forestale, 2020)In degraded environments with restricted seed availability, like those burned by wildfires in central Chile during 2017, the use of plant material from outside its area of origin for restoration purposes needs to be ... -
Population genomics of Tillandsia landbeckii reveals unbalanced genetic diversity and founder effects in the Atacama Deserts in the Atacama Desert
(Elsevier, 2020)In hyper-arid habitats vegetation tends to be highly patchy with individual plant populations set widely apart from each other. In the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, rainfall is essentially absent, but fog occurring ... -
Utility of genetic variation in coat color genes to distinguish wild, domestic and hybrid South American camelids for forensic and judicial applications
(Elsevier, 2020)A molecular genetic protocol for distinguishing pure and hybrid South American camelids was developed to provide strong, quantifiable, and unbiased species identification. We detail the application of the approach in the ... -
Crecimiento y captura de carbono en un bosque raleado de nothofagus betuloides (Mirb.) Oerst., en la región de Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena, Chile.
(Universidad de Chile, 2019)En el marco de un incremento de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, entre ellos el dióxido de carbono (CO2) a nivel de Chile y el mundo, y del alza constante de las emisiones per capita pese a los esfuerzos de ... -

Influencias de las variables climáticas y geográficas en la calidad del aire (MP10) de ciudades del mundo.
(Universidad de Chile, 2019)La atmósfera es el medio esencial para la sobrevivencia de la especie humana, sin embargo la contaminación atmosférica que afecta a gran parte de las ciudades del mundo está asociada a una serie de enfermedades como el ... -
Desempeño de tres adhesivos en elementos laminados de madera de pinus radiata (D.Don), reforzada con fibras de carbono.
(Universidad de Chile, 2018)Se estudió el comportamiento de tres adhesivos (Resorcinol, Poliuretano y Sikadur 30) en la unión encolada entre un refuerzo de fibra de carbono (Sika Carbodur) y madera de Pino radiata (Pinus Radiata D.Don.), mediante ... -
Phylogeny and historical biogeography of Lithospermeae (Boraginaceae): Disentangling the possible causes of Miocene diversifications
(Academic Press, 2019)Studies about the drivers of angiosperm clade diversifications have revealed how the environment continuously alters the species chances to adapt or to go extinct. This process depends on complex interactions between abiotic ... -
Major lineages of Loasaceae subfam. Loasoideae diversified during the Andean uplift
(Academic Press, 2019)The Loasoideae is the largest clade in the Loasaceae. This subfamily is widespread throughout the Neotropics and centered in the Andes, presenting an excellent opportunity to study diversification across much of temperate ... -
Meteorological Characterization of Large Daily Flows in a High-Relief Ungauged Basin Using Principal Component Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2019)Decision making and hydrologic design for coping with floods are complex tasks in poorly gauged high-relief basins. The response of such basins is driven by precipitation and temperature, which controls the freezing level ... -
From multi-risk evaluation to resilience planning: The case of central Chilean coastal cities
(MDPI AG, 2019)Multi-hazard evaluations are fundamental inputs for disaster risk management plans and the implementation of resilient urban environments, adapted to extreme natural events. Risk assessments from natural hazards have been ... -
Anthropocene and streamflow: long-term perspective of streamflow variability and water rights
(University of California, 2019)Since 1981, water allocation in Chile has been based on a water use rights (WURs) market, with limited regulatory and supervisory mechanisms. The volume to be granted as permanent and eventual WURs is calculated from ... -
A system to evaluate fire impacts from simulated fire behavior in Mediterranean areas of Central Chile
(Elsevier, 2017)Wildfires constitute the greatest economic disruption to Mediterranean ecosystems, from a socio-economic and ecological perspective (Molina et al., 2014). This study proposes to classify fire intensity levels based on ... -
Birds in coastal wetlands of Chile
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)Between the extreme north of Chile and the island of Chiloe, there are approximately 300 coastal wetlands. Among them, there are estuaries where the larg-est waterfowl populations are concentrated, due to their ...
