DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118303
Abstract: Abstract Monoculture plantations of fast-growing trees are increasing worldwide and, in many cases, these replace highly diverse natural environments. The Mesopotamian Savannas and the Ibera marshes ecoregions of northeastern Argentina are a mosaic of habitat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1590/1678-4499.2017222
Abstract: The present study aimed to characterize the dynamics of NDVI and meteorological conditions, relating both to the annual dynamics of biomass accumulation in natural pastures of the Pampa biome as a way of subsidizing growth… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/su10020326
Abstract: Animal husbandry in Europe that sustained once wide-spread semi-natural grasslands has been replaced by maximum sustained yield agriculture and forestry. This transformation coincides with declining populations of species dependent on semi-natural grasslands. A key task… read more here.

DOI: 10.7287/peerj.preprints.26569v1
Abstract: Soil microbial communities' assembly is strongly tied to changes in temperature and moisture. Although microbial functional redundancy seems to overcome taxonomical composition changes, the sensitivity and resilience of soil microbial communities from subtropical regions in… read more here.
