Land Cover Change Drives River Flow Modifications in Central Chile
Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.This study examines the combined effects of land cover change and ENSO on streamflow dynamics in four coastal catchments of central Chile, using a 45‐year (1979–2023) dataset of remote sensing and hydroclimatic data. Conclusions Native forest loss reduced summer flows and PP–Q relationship; preserved forests enhanced resilience.

Ecology of bryophytes along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients in Chile [PDF]
, 2002 The bryophyte vegetation in twenty-eight hectare plots in forests of S-Chile between 38° and 42°S and sea level and the forest line has been studied. Since bryophytes are fully dependend on atmospheric water and nutrient supply, they are good indicators ...

Compost legacy effects in active roadside restoration: Medium‐term shifts in plant succession
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.Roadside restoration experiment established on volcanic tephra following road construction in Andean Patagonia. A single application of municipal (MC) or biosolids (BC) compost rapidly increased plant cover compared with untreated controls (C) but led to distinct, exotic‐dominated plant communities over 6 years.

Effect of ectomycorrhizal colonization and drought on reactive oxygen species metabolism of Nothofagus dombeyi roots [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2009 Infection with ectomycorrhizal fungi can increase the ability of plants to resist drought stress through morphophysiological and biochemical mechanisms. However, the metabolism of antioxidative enzyme activities in the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis remains poorly understood.

Effects of management practices on water yield in small headwater catchments at Cordillera de los Andes in southern Chile [PDF]
, 2009 In several parts of the world, drinking water is obtained from springs in natural and managed mountainous forests. Since forests regulate quality as well as quantity of water, the effects of forest-management activities on water yield are an important ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 86-103, March 2026.Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...
