Global biodiversity scenarios for the year 2100.
This study identified a ranking of the importance of drivers of change, aranking of the biomes with respect to expected changes, and the major sources of uncertainties in projections of future biodiversity change.
Patterns of Nutrient Loss from Unpolluted, Old‐Growth Temperate Forests: Evaluation of Biogeochemical Theory
- L. Hedin, J. Armesto, A. Johnson

Atmospheric pollution and other human activities have altered natural ele- ment cycles over large regions of the world. Much current understanding of nutrient dy- namics in temperate region…
Genetic variation in Fitzroya cupressoides (alerce), a threatened South American conifer

- 1 June 1999
Assessment of genetic variation using DNA markers within and between populations of Fitzroya cupressoides indicated that there is a significant degree of variation within each population, and did not provide evidence for genetic ‘bottleneck’ effects within the species.

An important near-term goal of the international conservation agenda is to double the average percentage of land area currently protected in each nation to 10%. The effectiveness of this initiative…
COMMUNITY STUDIES IN POLLINATION ECOLOGY IN THE HIGH TEMPERATE ANDES OF CENTRAL CHILE. I. POLLINATION MECHANISMS AND ALTITUDINAL VARIATION
- M. Arroyo, R. Primack, J. Armesto
- Environmental Science
- 1982
Low-altitude populations of melittophilous species with broad altitudinal ranges are invariably serviced by fewer bee species as compared with lower populations, and the rich bee fauna at the lower end of the Andean zone in central Chile appears to have resulted from upward colonization from that of the subtending lowland Mediterranean sclerophyllous woodland vegetation.
Coarse woody debris biomass in successional and primary temperate forests in Chiloé Island, Chile

Models, mechanisms and pathways of succession
- S. Pickett, S. Collins, J. Armesto
- BiologyThe Botanical review
- 1 July 1987
A framework of successional mechanisms is erected based on classical causes of succession that have survived recent scrutiny and aims at comprehensiveness, and specific mechanisms are nested within more general causes.
Linking forest structure and composition: avian diversity in successional forests of Chiloé Island, Chile

The ecological concept of disturbance and its expression at various hierarchical levels
- S. Pickett, J. Kolasa, J. Armesto, S. Collins
- Environmental Science
- 1 February 1989
Using these definitions, disturbance can be unequivocally identified and associated with various specific ecological levels of organization and application of the concept will advance as refined models of the hierarchical structure of ecological systems are elaborated.
