(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 ...
-
(PUC, 2015)Acacia caven (Mol.) Mol. (Leguminosae), generally known as "espino," is one of the most common tree species in the Mediterranean region of Chile. This species grows in nutritionally poor soils with low water availability ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)The family Myrtaceae in Chile comprises 26 species in 10 genera. The species occur in a diverse range of environments including humid temperate forests, swamps, riparian habitats and coastal xeromorphic shrublands. Most ...
-
(Univ Austral Chile, Fac Ciencias Forestales, 2015)Peumus boldus, an endemic tree species of central Chile, belongs to sclerophyllous forests. Its semi-xerophytes condition allows it to grow in places with low rainfall and poor soils. The current shrubby condition is due ...
-
Crown size and growing space requirement of common tree species inurban centres, parks, and forests (Elsevier, 2015)Tree crown size determines among others tree’s growth, carbon sequestration, shading, filtering of fineair particulates, and risk of wind-breaking. The dependence of crown size on species, resource supply,and tree age ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)In the context of global change the possible loss of biodiversity has been identified as a major concern. Biodiversity could be seriously threatened as a direct consequence of changes in availability of food, changing ...
-
(Univ Católica de Valparaíso, 2015)En el presente estudio, se realizaron visitas mensuales a la comunidad de Mata de Limón (diciembre 2011 a noviembre 2012) localizada en el Pacífico central de Costa Rica para evaluar una serie de aspectos pesqueros ...
-
(INIA, 2015)Aim of study: Evaluate the economic extinction efficiency of forest fires, based on the study of fire combat undertaken by aerial and terrestrial means. Area of study, materials and methods: Approximately 112,000 hectares ...
-
(Public Library Science, 2015)Shrubs can have a net positive effect on the recruitment of other species, especially relict species in dry-stressful conditions. We tested the effects of nurse shrubs and herbivory defoliation on performance (survival and ...
-
(Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Oceanográficas, Universidad de Concepción, 2015)Species of fleshy-fruited Myrtaceae are generally associated with humid environments and their vegetative anatomy is mainly mesophytic. Myrceugenia rufa is an endemic and rare species from arid zones of the coast of central ...
-
(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. ...
