Plant Community Structure of Midland Grassland of the Flooding Pampa in Relation to Grazing Management [PDF]
The impact of grazing on plant community structure and ecosystem functioning is a key issue for range management. Although excessive grazing may often lead to land degradation and loss of biodiversity, maximisation of livestock production requires high ...

Freeze tolerance differs between two ecotypes of Paspalum vaginatum (Poaceae)
Morphological and physiological responses to freezing were evaluated in two ecotypes of the perennial turfgrass Paspalum vaginatum. Leaf extension rate, number of active meristems, leaf water potential and net photosynthesis were measured on plants of ...

State and Transition Model of Lowland Grassland in Flooding Pampa
Rainfall conditions are considered to be a major factor in determining vegetation structure in temperate grasslands with grazing playing a secondary role (Biondini et al., 1998; Sternberg et al., 2000). In order to analyse the relative importance of both

Hydrological consequences of Eucalyptus afforestation in the Argentine Pampas [PDF]
The impacts of a 40 ha stand of Eucalyptus camaldulensis in the Pampas grasslands of Argentina were explored for 2 years using a novel combination of sap flow, groundwater data, soil moisture measurements, and modeling.

Soil nutrients and salinity after long-term grazing exclusion in a Flooding Pampa grassland.
Soil organic C, total N, extractable P, and salinity were evaluated after 12-16 years of protection from grazing in 2 native grassland sites which differed in frequency of soil waterlogging in the Flooding Pampa of Argentina.

Climate change is projected to intensify soil erosion in the Chalakkudy River Basin, with bare lands and steep uplands emerging as the most vulnerable hotspots under high‐emission scenarios. Forested areas showed greater resistance to soil erosion, highlighting the importance of targeted soil conservation for sustainable watershed management in ...

The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary among its peers in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the diverse origins of the words we use. In this two‐part paper, we will explore these origins, including the Pontic‐Caspian steppe, the British Empire, latinophone scientists and a TV show. We
