(PUC, 2015)A study of response times for the arrival of terrestrial forest fire fighting resources was undertaken. The advantage of the method proposed here is that it may be exactly replicated in different countries and under different ...
-
(Italian Society of Remote Sensing, 2015)We used spectral, textural and photogrammetric information from very-high resolution (VHR) stereo satellite data (Pleiades and WorldView-2) to estimate forest biomass across two test sites located in Chile and Germany. We ...
-
(ELSEVIER, 2015)The impact of extinction of predators and subsequent herbivore release on ecosystem functioning has been well studied in temperate ecosystems, yet we have very little information on threatened tropical rainforests. Herbivore ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2015)The Andes foothills of central Chile are characterized by high levels of floristic diversity in a scenario, which offers little protection by public protected areas. Knowledge of the spatial distribution of this diversity ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)The biomass of nineteen Populus spp. clones was measured and characterized as a feedstock for energy production. Biomass yield was estimated using the average volume and dry weight of each clone. Quality traits analyzed ...
-
(Cross Mark, 2015)Clearcutting is a common timber harvesting technique that represents a significant and abrupt change in habitat conditions for wildlife living in industrial forests. Most research on this type of impact has focused on ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)Remote sensing-assisted estimates of aboveground forest biomass are essential for modeling carbon budgets. It has been suggested that estimates can be improved by building species- or strata-specific biomass models. ...
-
(2014)Fifteen guanacos were introduced to Staats Island in the Falklands/Malvinas archipelago from Patagonia in the 1930s. Twenty five years later, the population was culled from 300 to 10–20 individuals, but quickly rebounded ...

(Innovtur S.L., 2014)Resumen: Chile posee una naturaleza única y singular, la cual representa un atractivo importante para el desarrollo del Turismo de Intereses Especiales (TIE) basado en la naturaleza. Esta naturaleza se encuentra ...
-
(2014)With accelerating rates of urbanization worldwide, a better understanding of ecological processes at the wildland-urban interface is critical to conserve biodiversity. We explored the effects of high and low-density housing ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Universidad de Concepción, 2014)Se reportan nuevos registros de Heliotropium geissei, una especie rara de Chile central. La nomenclatura de la especie es revisada y se refina su lectotipificación. Análisis filogenéticos moleculares confirman su posición ...
-
(Springer, 2014)Background: Quillaja saponaria Mol., Cryptocarya alba Mol. Looser, and Lithraea caustica Molina Hook et Arn., are common sclerophyllous species in Mediterranean Central Chile. Mesophyll conductance, gm, may strongly ...
-
Synopsis of Plazia Ruiz & Pav. (Onoserideae, Asteraceae), including a new species from northern Peru (2014)A synopsis of Plazia Ruiz & Pav. (Onoserideae, Asteraceae) is presented, including the description of a new species, Plazia robinsonii M.O.Dillon & Sagást., from a locality c. 20 km west of Huamachuco, Department of La ...
-
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014)The genetic structure of populations of closely related, sympatric species may hold the signature of the geographical mode of the speciation process. In fully allopatric speciation, it is expected that genetic differentiation ...
-
(2014)Sclerophyllous shrubs and forests are predominant in semiarid Central Chile and have a long history of degradation by fire, cultivation, firewood extraction and grazing. The aim of this study was to compare the amount ...
-
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014)This study uses phylogeny-based measures of evolutionary potential (phylogenetic diversity and community structure) to evaluate the evolutionary value of vascular plant genera endemic to Chile. Endemicity is regarded as ...

-
(Elsevier, 2013)Valuation of cultural ecosystem services (CES) remains one of the most difficult and least accomplished tasks in ecosystem services research. In this study the Contingent Valuation Method with the double bounded dichotomous ...
