Foliar Traits Drive Chlorophyll Fluorescence Variability in Chilean Sclerophyllous Species Under Early Outplanting Stress. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
The photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) was monitored in two-year-old seedlings from six Chilean woody sclerophyllous species differing in foliage habits (evergreen, deciduous, semi-deciduous) and leaf orientation.

Provenance influences seed germination and phenotypic responses to water restriction in the endemic Beilschmiedia miersii (Gay) Kosterm

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
The higher drought intensity recorded in the last decades in the Mediterranean zone of Chile increased the level of threats of the endemic Beilschmiedia miersii (Gay) Kosterm and has raised concern about its capacity to face drought.

Effect of the Soil Matric Potential on the Germination Capacity of Prosopis chilensis, Quillaja saponaria and Cryptocarya alba from Contrasting Geographical Origins

Plants, 2022
As a consequence of the megadrought in Central Chile, it is expected that most of the distribution of woody species will be narrowed in the northern limits because of restrictions imposed by soil matric potential on seed germination.
