      The relationships that control seed production in trees are key to understand evolutionary pressures that have shaped forests. A global synthesis of fecundity data reveals that while seed production is not constrained by ...
    • Mohan, K. C; Mason, Euan G.; Bown Intveen, Horacio (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 ...

      Billions of wild animals migrate every year between breeding and non-breeding sites, facing new environmental conditions due to anthropogenic change. Although cities engender profound environmental changes, they provide ...
    • Fuentes Espoz, Juan; Brown, Horacio E.; Franck Berger, Nicolás; Pérez Quezada, Jorge (Soil Science Society of America, 2014)
      Litter extraction (LE) is a common practice in many forests of the world. This process can cause long-term depletion of C substrates, thereby affecting ecosystem balances. The effects of LE on soil properties such as soil ...
    • Salas Eljatib, Christian; Promis Baeza, Álvaro (Univ. Austral Chile, 2020)
      While the Chilean Society of Forest Sciences (SOCIFOR) was created by a group of forest-related institutions, its inactivity has wakened its progress. Here, we point out certain shortcomings of SOCIFOR, and propose actions ...
