Variable retention harvesting influences belowground plant-fungal interactions of Nothofagus pumilio seedlings in forests of southern Patagonia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background The post-harvest recovery and sustained productivity of Nothofagus pumilio forests in Tierra del Fuego may be affected by the abundance and composition of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF).

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and the nitrogen economy of Nothofagus in southern Patagonia [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSubantarctic Nothofagus forests are the southernmost forests in the world, with negligible atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition. Most paradigms about the role of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in N cycling and plant N uptake at high latitudes have been ...

Decoupled Climatic Drivers of Tree and Ground-Layer Carbon Uptake in Mountain Ecosystems Around the World. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolAcross four continents, we investigated how temperature controls the productivity of high mountain vegetation. We found that the productivity of plants growing close to the ground (< 1 m) tends to be controlled by highly localised “microclimate” temperatures, while the productivity of trees was strongly linked to broader‐scale temperatures.

Seasonal Turnover and Functional Structure of the Foliar Mycobiota in a Gondwanan Temperate Forest Keystone Tree [PDF]
Journal of FungiFungal communities inhabiting leaves are key players in ecosystem processes but remain largely unexplored in Southern Hemisphere temperate forests. We characterized the foliar mycobiota of Nothofagus pumilio, a dominant deciduous tree in Patagonian ...

Climate and Nothofagus pumilio Establishment at Upper Treelines in the Patagonian Andes [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 The upper treeline provides a unique opportunity for documenting changes in forest dynamics in the context of current environmental fluctuations. Documenting the response of forests to present environmental changes will be very useful in developing and ...

Influence of droughts on Nothofagus pumilio forest decline across northern Patagonia, Argentina
Ecosphere, 2016 Understanding the influence of climatic variations on forest decline is a major challenge for scientists investigating global changes. Although reductions in tree growth have previously been associated with forest decline, comprehensive efforts to ...

Lake Bacterial Communities in North Patagonian Andes: The Effect of the Nothofagus pumilio Treeline. [PDF]
Microb EcolOne of the most noticeable environmental discontinuities in mountains is the transition that exists in vegetation below and above the treeline. In the North Patagonian Andean lakes (between 900 and 1950 m a.s.l.), we analyzed the bacterial community composition of lakes in relation to surrounding vegetation (erected trees, krummholz belt, and bare ...
