TL;DR: In this paper, a review of published results on the geography of the Monte Desert biome of Argentina is presented, and a case study in the province of Mendoza is presented about the ecological-economic issues and sustainable investment policies in rangelands of the Patagonian Monte.

TL;DR: As in other arid ecosystems, plant species of north-eastern Patagonia showed phenological asynchrony among species in accordance with the ability of each species to exploit water and nutrients stored in different soil sub-spaces.

TL;DR: The physical geography of the Late Cenozoic of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego has been studied in this article, where a junction of natural elements in the southern end of South America is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the differences in N availability (Ni), N mineralization (Nmin), flush of microbial-N (N-MF) and soil moisture (SM) at 0-20 cm depth among four types of patches characteristic of heavily grazed areas in the northeastern Patagonia steppe of Larrea divaricata and Stipa spp.

TL;DR: The results showed that large plant patches created larger sheltered soil fertility islands than small patches and the density and the spatial segregation of the sexes of P. ligularis also increased, resulting in biased habitat-specific sex ratios, and the reduction of patch size limits the available microsites, biases the sex ratio towards males inside patches, increases inter- and intra-sexual competition, and it might be expected to decrease overall seed and pollen production and consequently potential recruitment.
