Editorial: Impacts of climate change on long term viability of tree species with recalcitrant seeds
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2023-08-07)Sin resumen. -
Monitoreo permanente de bosques naturales en las áreas silvestres protegidas de Chile: una necesidad urgente
(Universidad Austral de Chile, 2023-04)La dinámica de los bosques se refiere al cambio en su estructura y composición en el tiempo, gobernado por su crecimiento, el cual es resultado de los procesos de incremento en tamaño, mortalidad de árboles y reclutamiento ... -
Loss of native herbivores triggers diversity decline of ephemeral plant communities
(WILEY, 2023-09)Aim: Evaluate the temporal changes in species diversity, composition, and structure of ephemeral plant communities and the seed bank in response to long-term herbivore exclusion over 11 years in plots with and without ... -
Evenness mediates the global relationship between forest productivity and richness
(WILEY, 2023-06)Biodiversity is an important component of natural ecosystems, with higher species richness often correlating with an increase in ecosystem productivity. Yet, this relationship varies substantially across environments, ... -
Author Correction: Native diversity buffers against severity of non-native tree invasions
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-08)Sin resumen. -
Rasgos-CL: A functional trait database of Chilean woody plants
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2023-12)Motivation: Due to language and networking barriers, global initiatives to compile trait data often fail to integrate data from sources in non-English languages or scientists that largely speak and write in non-English ... -
BIOVERA-Tree: tree diversity, community composition, forest structure and functional traits along gradients of forest-use intensity and elevation in Veracruz, Mexico
(PENSOFT PUBLISHERS, 2021-09-09)Here, we describe BIOVERA-Tree, a database on tree diversity, community composition, forest structure and functional traits collected in 120 forest plots, distributed along an extensive elevational gradient in Veracruz ... -
A global horizon scan of the future impacts of robotics and autonomous systems on urban ecosystems
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-01)The future challenges and potential opportunities of robotics and autonomous systems in urban ecosystems, and how they may impact biodiversity, are explored and prioritized via a global horizon scan of 170 experts. Technology ... -
Measuring the intensity of conflicts in conservation
(WILEY, 2021-05)Conflicts between the interests of biodiversity conservation and other human activities pose a major threat to natural ecosystems and human well-being, yet few methods exist to quantify their intensity and model their ... -
Niche properties constrain occupancy but not abundance patterns of native and alien woody species across Hawaiian forests
(WILEY, 2021-05)Questions Islands harbour a disproportionate amount of global plant diversity, yet their unique native assemblages are particularly vulnerable to biological invasions. It is therefore critical to identify the macroecological ... -
The impact of forest science in Chile: history, contribution, and challenges
(CANADIAN SCIENCE PUBLISHING, 2021-06)In this article we describe Chile's transition from an agriculture productive model that originated in the 19th century into a more complex economic model that incorporates forest production, explaining the role of forest ... -
Urban wildlife in times of COVID-19: What can we infer from novel carnivore records in urban areas?
(Elsevier, 2021-04)The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought an unusual decrease in human activity associated with partial and total lockdowns. Simultaneously, a series of wildlife sightings—mainly in urban areas—have been brought to public ... -
Land-Cover Classification Using MaxEnt: Can We Trust in Model Quality Metrics for Estimating Classification Accuracy?
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-03)MaxEnt is a popular maximum entropy-based algorithm originally developed for modelling species distribution, but increasingly used for land-cover classification. In this article, we used MaxEnt as a single-class land-cover ... -
Evaluating forest resilience to global threats using functional response traits and network properties
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-07)Ecosystem functions provided by forests are threatened by direct and indirect effects of global change drivers such as climate warming land-use change, biological invasions, and shifting natural disturbance regimes. To ... -
Recent deforestation drove the spike in Amazonian fires
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2020-12)Sin resumen. -
Differential Early Performance of Two Underplanted Hardwood Tree Species Following Restoration Treatments in High-Graded Temperate Rainforests
(MDPI AG, 2020-04)Rauli (Nothofagus alpina (Poepp. & Endl.)) and Ulmo (Eucryphia cordifolia Cav.) are mid-tolerant tree species in the Coihue-Rauli-Tepa (ca. 0.55 mill ha) and Evergreen (ca. 4.1 mill ha) forest types in south-central Chile, ... -
Short-term effects of variable-density thinning on regeneration in hardwood-dominated temperate rainforests
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020-05)Second-growth temperate forests usually have simpler composition and structure than comparable old-growth stands. We evaluated the application of variable density thinning (VDT) as a way to increase old-growth attributes, ... -
Height growth-rate at a given height: A mathematical perspective for forest productivity
(Elsevier, 2020-09)Understanding the height growth of trees is a fundamental component for scientific knowledge and management of forest ecosystems. The height of dominant trees at a reference-age, commonly known as the site-index, is the ... -
Integrating conflict, lobbying, and compliance to predict the sustainability of natural resource use
(The Resilience Alliance, 2020-06)Predictive models are sorely needed to guide the management of harvested natural resources worldwide, yet existing frameworks fail to integrate the dynamic and interacting governance processes driving unsustainable use. ... -
Life-history dimensions indicate non-random assembly processes in tropical island tree communities
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021-03)Community assembly processes on islands are often non-random. The mechanisms behind non-random assembly, however, are generally difficult to disentangle. Functional diversity in combination with a null model approach that ...
