Increasing CO2 air concentration may affect wettability, anatomy and ultra-structure of leaves of Patagonian forest species, evergreen and deciduous plants potentially responding differently to such CO2 increases. In this study, we analysed the wettability, anatomy and ultra-structure of leaves of Nothofagus antarctica (deciduous) and N.

Haematocrit, the proportion of blood comprising erythrocytes, is often used as a proxy of individual condition. Nestling haematocrit is influenced by several factors but ambient temperature is generally agreed as a key driver. It is unclear which day(s) in embryonic or nestling development are most influential in determining pre‐fledgling haematocrit ...

Nonstructural carbohydrates predict survival in saplings of temperate trees under carbon stress
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) mediate plant survival when the plant's carbon (C) balance is negative, suggesting that NSCs could predict plant survival under C stress.

Broad‐scale wood degradation dynamics in the face of climate change: A meta‐analysis
Using a meta‐analysis, we reviewed the effects of tree attributes and local climate on the time‐since‐death of coarse woody debris ranging in decomposition states. Our results suggest that warming will accelerate wood decomposition and significantly decrease the residence time in decay stages, leading to a decreased temporal window during which dead ...

Araucaria araucana wood anatomical traits evidenced a deterioration of the hydraulic system in declining trees. This pattern is site‐specific and started many decades before canopy dieback. In Chile, declining trees showed higher WUEi in the last 200 years, indicating an earlier stomatal closure to avoid water loss, and a potential greater carbon ...

The world's southernmost tree and the climate and windscapes of the southernmost forests
The world's southernmost tree has been documented along with the condition and growth pattern of the world's southernmost forest on Isla Hornos, Chile. The distribution of trees at broad scales is strongly influenced by the abiotic environment and determining the position and condition of tree limits around the world is an important way to monitor ...

Summary This study, in die Chilean Magellan Region, undertook the structural and biometrie characterization of Nothofagus betuloides (Mirb.) Blume (coihue de Magallanes) production forests to provide information for sustainable forest management. Six locations were surveyed, five on the continent and one on Tierra del Fuego Island.

Potencial dendroclimático de Nothofagus betuloides en la Cordillera de Darwin, Tierra del Fuego, Chile [PDF]
El estudio de la variabilidad climatica en regiones remotas se dificulta por la escasez de series instrumentales largas y completas. Una alternativa es recurrir al uso de fuentes de informacion paleoambiental, tales como las series de anillos de crecimiento arboreo.

N. betuloides (Fagaceae) is an economically important tree species from Fuegian forest (Argentina). The present work was carried out aiming to study the effects of gibberellic acid and potassium nitrate on the release of dormacy, and the presence of differences in germination of 2-winged and 3-winged.

Efecto del vaporizado inicial en el secado artificial de madera de coigüe de Magallanes (Nothofagus betuloides)* [PDF]
El trabajo consistio basicamente en someter madera aserrada de Nothofagus betuloides (Mirb.) Oerst. a tres distintos niveles de vaporizado inicial (4, 8 y 10 horas, respectivamente) y a un posterior proceso de secado artificial convencional unico. Se evaluo el efecto del vaporizado inicial sobre la calidad de la madera obtenida y el tiempo de secado ...
