Conservation value and ecosystem service provision of Nothofagus antarctica forests based on phenocluster categories by Guillermo J. Martínez Pastur, Julián Rodríguez-Souilla, Yamina M. Rosas, Natalia Politi, Luis Rivera, Eduarda M. O. Silveira, Ashley M. Olah, Anna M. Pidgeon, María V. Lencinas, Pablo L. Peri

“…Conservation value and capacity to supply ES significantly varied among phenocluster categories: (i) cultural, regulating, and provisioning ES and potential biodiversity at landscape level, (ii) soil carbon and nitrogen, (iii) dominant height, crown cover, basal area, total volume, and domestic animal stock, and (iv) understory plant richness and cover at stand level. These differences are linked to the forest capacity to support more native biodiversity and ES. …”
