Bird assemblage structure in the Desert Puna in areas with different disturbance activity of a subterranean herbivorous rodent by Natalia Andino, Viviana Fernández, Stella M. Giannoni, Carlos E. Borghi

“…Transects of 50 m in length and 40 m in width were established: 56 located in highly disturbed patches and 53 in patches with low disturbance by tuco-tucos. Our results show that areas with higher disturbance by tuco-tucos are associated with a decrease in bird abundance (93 individuals in disturbed areas vs. 226 in undisturbed areas) and lower species richness (6 species in disturbed areas vs. 11 in undisturbed areas). …”

Soil Microbiological Attributes Under Different Vegetation Covers by Cristiane Figueira da Silva, Ingryd Cardoso Estaky Cabral, Gabriel Coutinho Oliveira de Lemos, Isabella Silva Lopes, Matheus Corrêa de Oliveira, Luiz Alberto da Silva Rodrigues Pinto, Marcelo Antoniol Fontes, Eliane Maria Ribeiro da Silva, Marcos Gervasio Pereira

“…The tree species (shoulder) and the grasses (backslope) showed higher values of microbial biomass carbon, soil enzyme activity, sporulation and species richness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The correlations found suggest the effect of chemical and physical attributes, especially the lower levels of P and coarse sand, on the increase in these soil microbiological attributes. …”
