En el Monte Central, Neltuma flexuosa es la principal especie arbórea con importantes funciones ecológicas y socio-culturales. En esta región, la ganadería integrada al bosque nativo, en combinación con prácticas silvícolas, es la forma más extendida de utilización del bosque. Estas actividades humanas pueden generar cambios en la dinámica del bosq...

The brown brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira) is a species of neotropical ungulate that inhabits several countries in South America. In Argentina, it is distributed in the northern portion of the country, while historical records do not mention it in the province of Mendoza. However, in the Categorization of Mammals of Argentina (2019), the NE of Men...

Mammals have been widely recognized as mobile link species that can vectorize resources across the landscape. In this study we analyze the biodeposition of waste products egested by native herbivorous mammals of the Monte Desert to document for the first time the implications of the restoration of a native forest on this process. We compared a rest...

In drylands all over the world, chronic anthropic disturbances are relevant factors for woodland degradation. Different disturbances can potentially interact to change vegetation structure. Knowing woodland structure is crucial for better predicting forest dynamic because trees of different sizes significantly affect the regeneration processes, num...

Background The ecological indicators are useful tools to determine the effects of human disturbances on woodland biodiversity. Nevertheless, ecological indicators not always responded in the same way to disturbances, and the responses can differ among taxa. In arid and semiarid woodlands, the use of deadwood associated with cattle raising can affec...

Large old trees are keystone organisms that generate a highly connected network of interactions because they provide refuge and feeding sites to mammals with different habitat requirements through their under canopy structure and deadwood. In dry woodlands, these keystone trees are found within agricultural landscapes, where grazing and deadwood re...

Los bosques nativos de Prosopis flexuosa proporcionan importantes servicios ambientales a las comunidades locales, tales como la madera muerta y las tierras para pastoreo. La madera muerta es utilizada como principal combustible en zonas rurales, y a la vez constituye un componente central en el sostenimiento y conservación de la biodiversidad de e...

The native forests of Prosopis flexuosa provide important environmental services to local communities, such as deadwood and grazing land. Deadwood is used as the main fuel in rural areas, and at the same time constitutes a central component in the maintenance and conservation of the biodiversity of forest ecosystems. Grazing by domestic cattle is a...

Los bosques abiertos de Prosopis flexuosa en el Monte de Argentina fueron intensamente explotados a principios del siglo, bajo un manejo extractivista no sustentable de madera que aceleró la pérdida de los bosques nativos. Debido a esto, se han destinado esfuerzos para conservar los bienes naturales a través de la creación de áreas protegidas, como...
