Nitrogen mineralization in epiphytic soils of an old-growthFitzroya cupressoidesforest, southern Chile [PDF]

open access: yesÉcoscience, 2005
ABSTRACT Epiphytic soils derive from organic matter accumulation on trunks and canopy branches of large trees. We compared chemical and physical properties, rates of net N mineralization, and bacterial biomass carbon associated with epiphytic soils and the forest floor of an old-growth, temperate forest dominated by the long-lived Fitzroya cupressoides

Genetic variation in Fitzroya cupressoides (alerce), a threatened South American conifer [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, 1999
Fitzroya cupressoides (alerce, Cupressaceae) is a large and exceptionally long-lived conifer, endemic to a restricted area of southern Chile and neighbouring areas of Argentina.

Increased water use efficiency but contrasting tree growth patterns in Fitzroya cupressoides forests of southern Chile during recent decades [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research G: Biogeosciences, 2015
Artículo de publicación ISILittle is known about how old-growth and massive forests are responding to environmental change. We investigated tree-ring growth and carbon isotopes of the long-lived and high biomass Fitzroya cupressoides in two stands ...

Desarrollo de plantaciones experimentales jóvenes de Fitzroya cupressoides establecidas en el arboreto de la Universidad Austral de Chile, Valdivia [PDF]

open access: yesBosque, 2006
Two experimental plantations of Fitzroya cupressoides (alerce), established at the arboretum of Universidad Austral de Chile (Valdivia, 39°48’S and 73°14’W; 50 m asl) in 1994, were evaluated in May 2004 in order to assess its development ex situ through ...

Variability of foliage terpenes of Fitzroya cupressoides

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 1991
Abstract Foliage of 57 Fitzroya cupressoides trees from six locations in Chile was analysed for monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. A new monoterpene, ipsdienyl acetate (2-methyl-4-acetoxy-6-methylene-octa-2,7-diene), was found. No geographic variability in monoterpene composition was evident. Three distinct sesquiterpene chemotypes were found in the

Natural regeneration of Fitzroya cupressoides in Chile and Argentina

Forest Ecology and Management, 1993
Abstract In Chile and Argentina, Fitzroya cupressoides (alerce) regeneration was sampled on a variety of sites differing in history in order to show trends in regeneration. The tree Fitzroya cupressoides grows in the cool temperate areas of South America, where its finegrained, durable wood is highly valued. The species has been widely harvested

Conservation genetics of the endangered conifer Fitzroya cupressoides in Chile and Argentina

Conservation Genetics, 2000
Intraspecific patterns of genetic variation can often be used toidentify biogeographic divisions which can be especially useful in thedesign of conservation strategies. Although abundant empirical evidenceexist on the genetic characteristics of plant species from the NorthernHemisphere as well as tropical endangered taxa, this information ...

The Conservation of Fitzroya cupressoides and Its Environment in Southern Chile

Environmental Conservation, 1976
The giant conifer, Fitzroya cupressoides (Mol.) Johnston, or Alerce (ah-laír-say), which is native to southern Chile and Argentina, has been intensively exploited for its durable wood since the European colonization of southern South America. Today, it persists only in relatively small stands mostly in very remote and inaccessible areas. While location
