The Araucaria forests of New Guinea

1982
There are two species of Araucaria in New Guinea, A. cunninghamii D. Don and A. hunsteinii K. Schumm. Forests containing these species are of great interest to biologists for several reasons. They are among the most ancient and phylogenetically primitive of the world’s surviving conifers, are held in special regard (e.g. superstitious and religious) by

Mechanisms of Araucaria (Atlantic) Forest Expansion into Southern Brazilian Grasslands

Ecosystems, 2011
Recent studies have shown that tropical and subtropical forests expanded during the late Holocene, but rates and mechanisms of expansion are still unknown. Here, we investigate how a forest–grassland mosaic changed over the past 10,000 years at the southernmost limit of the Brazilian Atlantic forest.

Neotropical ferns community phenology: climatic triggers in subtropical climate in Araucaria forest

International Journal of Biometeorology, 2019
Climate regulates the fern phenology and climatic triggers influence plants from tropical and subtropical regions differently. Ferns depend on climate to regulate their life cycle, because they do not require animal interaction to reproduce. Through the pioneering study of the phenology of Araucaria forest understory in subtropical climate of Brazil ...

The Araucaria Forests of New Guinea and Their Regenerative Capacity

The Journal of Ecology, 1971
Although araucarias feature prominently in the exploratory accounts of Gibbs (1917), Lane-Poole (1925), Archbold & Rand (1935), Archbold, Rand & Brass (1942) and Brass (1956, 1959), the first discussion of their ecological status is that of Womersley (1958).

Plant dispersal strategies and the colonization of Araucaria forest patches in a grassland‐forest mosaic

Journal of Vegetation Science, 2007
AbstractQuestions: In a natural grassland‐forest mosaic: What is the influence of phylogeny and diaspore traits related to disperser attraction (DAT) on (1) seed size/number trade‐off (SSNT) in woody species colonizing forest patches; (2) on the frequency of the species? 3. What is the influence of forest patch area on mean seed size and number. 4. Do

Structure and growth of araucaria forest in southern Brazil

2017
The growth of individual trees can be simulated by multiplying a function that describes the potential by another modifier, the “modifying-potential”. Modeling of the potential function for trees growing without competition determines the limit of optimum growth to species, while a modifying function sets the decrease component taking in consideration ...

Discrimination of araucaria forests (Araucaria araucana) in the Conguillio National Park, Southern-Center Chile, using Landsat TM data

2017
Araucaria forests (Araucaria araucana) have a tremendous ecological relevance; however, the information concerning their spatial distribution is still insufficient. They have only been classified according to small management scales, using satellite photos and images processed through conventional methods.
