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

Variability of foliage terpenes of Fitzroya cupressoides
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 1991Abstract 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, 1993Abstract 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, 2000Intraspecific 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, 1976The 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
