      Loasaceae, a mostly American group, is one of the largest families of Cornales. In spite of considerable progress over the last 20 years, the relationships of some clades remain controversial, especially in the "South ...
    • Villaseñor Pérez, Nélida; Tulloch, Ayesha I.T.; Driscoll, Don A.; Gibbons, Philip; Lindenmayer, David B. (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 ...
    • Promis Baeza, Álvaro; Allen, Robert B. (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 ...
    • Donoso Calderón, Sergio; Peña Rojas, Karen; Galdames Palma, Evelyn; Pacheco Fuentes, Cristian; Espinoza Cayulen, Claudia; Durán Adasme, Sergio; Gangas Fuentealba, Rodrigo (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 ...
    • Fuentes Allende, Nicolás; Vielma, André; Paulsen, Katheryne; Arredondo, Cristóbal; Corti, Paulo; Estades Marfán, Cristián; González, Benito A. (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 ...
    • Bown Intveen, Horacio; Watt, Michael (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 ...
    • Zhao, Yuanyuan; Feng, Duole; Yu, Le; Wang, Xiaoyi; Chen, Yanlei; Bai, Yuqi; Hernández Palma, Héctor; Galleguillos Torres, Mauricio; Estades Marfán, Cristián; Biging, Gregory; Radke, John; Gong, Peng (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 ...
    • Urbina Casanova, Rafael; Luebert Bruron, Federico José; Pliscoff, Patricio; Scherson Vicencio, Rosa Amelia (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 ...
