(Wiley, 2017-06)1. Unprecedented global human population growth and rapid urbanization of rural and natural lands highlight the urgent need to integrate biodiversity conservation into planning for urban growth. A challenging question for ...
-
(Public Library Science, 2017)Seedlings of co-occurring species vary in their response to resource availability and this has implications for the conservation and management of forests. Differential shade-tolerance is thought to influence seedling ...

Evaluación de la aplicación de biosólidos en plantaciones de Eucalyptus globulus, en Chile central (Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, Facultad Ciencias Agrarías, 2016)Fertilization with biosolid is an option for beneficial use of waste generated from wastewater treatment plant. At this point of view, it is necessary know its effect in forest plantations. The study was established in two ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016)Areas with high shrub and grass cover are scarce and important for arid-land ungulates. Unfortunately, agricultural activities are often concentrated in such areas causing ungulates either to include croplands as foraging ...
-
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Agronomía Ingeniería Forestal, 2016)Stem CO2 efflux is a highly variable component of the carbon budget of forest ecosystems. It reflects the balance between the CO2 respired by the living stem tissues, less the CO2 dissolved in the xylem sap moving upward ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016)Stretching over 4300 km north to south, Chile is a special country with complicated landscapes and rich biodiversity. Accurate and timely updated land cover map of Chile in detailed classification categories is highly ...
-
(Cambridge Univ. Press, 2016)Conservation planning relies heavily on representativeness patterns. In Chile, this has not been assessed at the species level. This study evaluates floristic representativeness in the National System of Protected Areas ...
-
(International Association for Plant Taxonomy, 2016)Boraginaceae s.str. is a subcosmopolitan family of 1600 to 1700 species in around 90 genera, and recent phylogenetic studies indicate that the infrafamilial classification as currently used is highly obsolete. The present ...

Spatio-Temporal Changes in Structure for a Mediterranean Urban Forest: Santiago, Chile 2002 to 2014 (MDPI, 2016)There is little information on how urban forest ecosystems in South America and Mediterranean climates change across both space and time. This study statistically and spatially analyzed the spatio-temporal dynamics of ...
-
(International Association for Plant Taxonomy, 2016)he Boraginales are now universally accepted as monophyletic and firmly placed in Lamiidae. However, a consensus about familial classification has remained elusive, with some advocating recognition of a single, widely ...

Differential adaptations in nursery seedlings from diverse Chilean provenances of Peumus boldus Mol (SISEF-SOC Italiana Selvicolture Ecol Forestale, 2016)Seed germination, seedling growth and biomass allocation of the endemic species Peumus boldus Mol. (Boldo) were studied in four provenances (two northern and two southern provenances) from central Chile. Seeds collected ...
-
(Springer, 2016)Key message In Chile, breeding radiata pine for growth has led to drifts in the degree of drought tolerance of the seedlings. Interior provenances gained a larger tolerance to drought after three breeding generations as ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2008)El presente estudio propone y aplica un método de evaluación técnico-económica para la implementación de un centro de producción de astillas pulpables en Aserraderos CORZA S.A., considerando las condiciones actuales, ...
-
(Springer, 2015)Background: Water accounts for around half of the total mass in living trees, and therefore large savings can be achieved if logs are dried before transporting or burning. Methods: An air-drying model for piled logs of ...
-
(Raptor Research Foundation, 2016)Causes of admission to rehabilitation centers can provide valuable information about factors that cause mortality in the wild. We studied causes of admission to a rehabilitation center for 108 Andean Condors (Vultur gryphus) ...
-
Low habitat overlap at landscape scale between wild camelids and feral donkeys in the Chilean desert (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)Feral domestic ungulates may compete with the populations of wild herbivores with which they coexist, particularly so in arid regions. The potential competition between wild camelids and feral donkeys at the eastern sector ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016)Biodiversity is considered to be an essential element of the Earth system, driving important ecosystem services. However, the conservation of biodiversity in a quickly changing world is a challenging task which requires ...
-
(Ediciones Universitarias, 2015)Endemism is one of the main considerations in historical biogeography and one of the most important criteria when establishing conservation priorities. Worldwide, more than 90% of the plants listed in conservation categories ...
