The Oldest, Slowest Rainforests in the World? Massive Biomass and Slow Carbon Dynamics of Fitzroya cupressoides Temperate Forests in Southern Chile. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Old-growth temperate rainforests are, per unit area, the largest and most long-lived stores of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere, but their carbon dynamics have rarely been described.

Low Growth Sensitivity and Fast Replenishment of Non-structural Carbohydrates in a Long-Lived Endangered Conifer After Drought [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
There is an ongoing debate on whether a drought induced carbohydrate limitation (source limitation) or a direct effect of water shortage (sink limitation) limit growth under drought.

Carbon stocks across different environments, disturbance regimes, and stand age in Fitzroya cupressoides forests, the longest-lived species of the southern hemisphere

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Forest disturbances influence Fitzroya cupressoides forest structure and carbon stocks at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Natural disturbances such as landslides and volcanism affect and give rise to the mostly pristine Fitzroya stands present in ...

Soil respiration and mass balance estimation of fine root production in Fitzroya cupressoides forests of southern Chile [PDF]

open access: yesEcosphere, 2017
The soil carbon dynamics of southern hemisphere temperate rainforests have rarely been studied. Here, we report for the first time soil CO2 effluxes and their partitioning for medium‐age and old‐growth Fitzroya cupressoides forests growing under ...

Environmental correlates of stem radius change in the endangered Fitzroya cupressoides forests of southern Chile [PDF]

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2015
a b s t r a c t Relationships between environmental factors and stem radius variation at short temporal scales can provide useful information regarding the sensitivity of tree species' productivity to climate change. This study used automatic point dendrometers to assess the relationship between environmental variables and stem radius contraction and ...

Silvicultura de los bosques de Fitzroya cupressoides: ¿Ficción o realidad?

open access: yesBosque, 1990
SUMMARY Fitzroya cupressoides is still an important part of forest surfaces and timber volumes, having been exploited with only mining criteria for very long. The possibility of applying silvicultural treatments in the Andean and Coastal Cordillera Alerce forests was analyzed using the knowledge acquired and having in mind a timber production objective

Genetic variation inFitzroya cupressoides(alerce), a threatened South American conifer

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, 1999
AbstractFitzroya cupressoides(alerce, Cupressaceae) is a large and exceptionally long‐lived conifer, endemic to a restricted area of southern Chile and neighbouring areas of Argentina. As a result of its high economic value, the species has been severely exploited for timber, and remnant populations are fragmented and often highly disturbed.
