“…However, results in studies of wildlife and lowto moderate-intensity livestock grazing indicate that shrub and tree structure directly affect consumption of plant species under them. Woody species and tall forbs, especially those with physical and chemical defenses, can act as biotic refuges for herbaceous species and young, palatable woody plants, which are vulnerable to browsing ( Saixiyala et al 2017 ;Kelemen et al 2019 ;Bustamante et al 2021 ). Marchi et al (2019) reported that reductions in Urochloa brizantha height and dry mass by cattle were proportional to increases in distances from the main stems of shrubs and forbs with thorns and/or stinging trichomes.…”

“…Finally, (iv) we used sheep equivalents based on the animal species sizes (0.50 for guanaco and 0.16 for cows) to standardize the current livestock density (LD) (for more details, see [8]). To characterize the understory, we used the point-intercept method with 50 intercept points (every 1 m) along each transect [9,28,33]. At each point, we recorded intercepted vascular plant species, bare soil or litter without vegetation (BS), and woody debris cover (DC) (>2.5 cm diameter) to calculate ground cover.…”

“…Natural forests of N. antarctica follow simple gap dynamics, and the decay of mature trees or the local windthrow promotes the development of regeneration based on seed and agamic reproduction (e.g., root sprouts) [3,34]. The recruitment and survival of seedlings are mainly related to the balance between light and soil moisture availability, as well as other abiotic factors such as animal browsing (livestock and natural populations of Lama guanicoe) [8,13,33] and understory cover [9][10][11]. In mature or secondary forests without management (CF), the overstory decreases the light availability, affecting the understory biomass and biodiversity values in relation to the age structure of the trees [8].…”

“…En la provincia de Tierra del Fuego (Patagonia Sur, Argentina), miles de hectáreas de bosques de ñire en la zona del ecotono fueguino, se quemaron intencionalmente hace más de 70 años con el fin de aumentar la superficie forrajera para el ganado, lo cual generó la degradación del bosque (ej, estructura forestal) y, a largo plazo, un ensamble de plantas herbáceas similar al de los pastizales (Ruggirello et al, 2023). Por otro lado, el fuego favoreció el establecimiento de arbustos de calafate en alta densidad, registrándose en algunos sitios hasta 5000 individuos.ha -1 (Bustamante et al, 2021). La presencia de los arbustos de calafate podría ofrecer condiciones microclimáticas y edáficas particulares que favorezcan la instalación de la regeneración arbórea a través de la reducción del estrés ambiental en los sitios afectados por fuego (radiación solar excesiva, temperaturas extremas, cobertura de suelo desnudo) y con uso ganadero actual (compactación del suelo, suelo desnudo).…”

“…Se observó que el ñire y el calafate coexisten exitosamente en sitios afectados con fuego y ganadería en el ecotono de Tierra del Fuego (capítulo I) y que el calafate amortigua el impacto negativo que generan los herbívoros en los árboles jóvenes de ñire (Bustamante et al, 2021). También se observó que el calafate no impide la llegada de las semillas de ñire bajo su copa y provee un microambiente favorable para el crecimiento de las plántulas de ñire (capítulo II).…”
