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. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Un llamado a la activación real de la Sociedad Chilena de Ciencias Forestales
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Aunque en lo formal existe la Sociedad Chilena de Ciencias Forestales (SOCIFOR), creada por un grupo de instituciones ligadas al sector forestal, lamentablemente su inactividad ha debilitado su progreso. En el presente ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Recent deforestation drove the spike in Amazonian fires
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2020-12)Sin resumen. -
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, ... -
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 ... -
Using Ecological Modelling to Assess the Long-Term Survival of the West-Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus) in the Panama Canal
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)There is evidence of a thriving population of West-Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) in the Panama Canal, although it is not clear if they are descendants of a small group of introduced manatees or if manatees have entered ...
