Deciphering the transcriptomic regulation of heat stress responses in Nothofagus pumilio. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Global warming is predicted to exert negative impacts on plant growth due to the damaging effect of high temperatures on plant physiology. Revealing the genetic architecture underlying the heat stress response is therefore crucial for the development of ...

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and the nitrogen economy of Nothofagus in southern Patagonia [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSubantarctic Nothofagus forests are the southernmost forests in the world, with negligible atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition. Most paradigms about the role of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in N cycling and plant N uptake at high latitudes have been ...

Restricted Dispersal in the Late Successional Forest Tree Species Nothofagus Pumilio: Consequences Under Global Change [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPlants rely on gamete dispersal to ensure the inheritance of their genes. Gene flow, mediated by pollen and seed dispersal, also fosters species' cohesion across space, facilitates population migration, and influences local adaptation. Nothofagus pumilio

Phytochemical Screening and Antioxidant Activity of Seven Native Species Growing in the Forests of Southern Chilean Patagonia [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 The genus Nothofagus is one of the most abundant in the subantarctic Patagonian forests. Five species inhabit these ecosystems, three evergreen (Nothofagus betuloides, Nothofagus dombeyi, and Nothofagus nitida) and two deciduous (Nothofagus pumilio and ...

Tree health influences diameter growth along site quality, crown class and age gradients in Nothofagus forests of southern Patagonia [PDF]
Journal of Forest Science, 2013 We examined the influence of tree health on annual diameter increment of trees along gradients in stand site quality, crown classes and tree age in Nothofagus pumilio forests of Southern Patagonia.

Detecting Nothofagus pumilio Growth Reductions Induced by Past Spring Frosts at the Northern Patagonian Andes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Extreme climatic events, such as late frosts in spring during leaf flush, have considerable impacts on the radial growth of temperate broadleaf trees. Albeit, all broadleaved species are potentially vulnerable, damage depends on the particularities of ...

Variable retention harvesting influences belowground plant-fungal interactions of Nothofagus pumilio seedlings in forests of southern Patagonia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background The post-harvest recovery and sustained productivity of Nothofagus pumilio forests in Tierra del Fuego may be affected by the abundance and composition of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF).

Seasonal Turnover and Functional Structure of the Foliar Mycobiota in a Gondwanan Temperate Forest Keystone Tree [PDF]
Journal of FungiFungal communities inhabiting leaves are key players in ecosystem processes but remain largely unexplored in Southern Hemisphere temperate forests. We characterized the foliar mycobiota of Nothofagus pumilio, a dominant deciduous tree in Patagonian ...

Phylogenetic relationships and time-calibration of the South American fossil and extant species of southern beeches (Nothofagus) [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2018 The genus Nothofagus is considered as one of the most interesting plant genera, not only for the living species but also due to the fossil evidence distributed throughout the Southern Hemisphere. Early publications postulated a close relationship between
