Deciphering the transcriptomic regulation of heat stress responses in Nothofagus pumilio. [PDF]
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]
Subantarctic 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 <i>Nothofagus Pumilio</i>: Consequences Under Global Change. [PDF]
Plants 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]
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 ...

Assessing the role of foliar habit on nutrient losses in a sub-Antarctic forest. [PDF]
Abstract Biogeochemical cycles drive global biodiversity and plant productivity. In terrestrial ecosystems, nutrient losses through plants' litter are a critical component of these biogeochemical cycles. In forests, nutrient losses are thought to be higher in deciduous angiosperm species than in evergreen conifers.

Tree health influences diameter growth along site quality, crown class and age gradients in Nothofagus forests of southern Patagonia [PDF]
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.

A Mosaic of Future Maladaptation Predicted for the Widespread Tree Nothofagus pumilio [PDF]
ABSTRACT Nothofagus pumilio, or lenga beech, is a widespread and locally‐adapted tree species endemic to South America's Patagonia region. Its diverse populations span a 2000‐km‐long range in the Andes Mountains, which is already experiencing adverse effects from climate change.

Diversity-Elevation Relationships of Vascular Plants in Austral Temperate Ecosystems Are Strata Dependent. [PDF]
We investigated diversity patterns of vascular plants of overstorey and understorey vegetation separately per stratum and the influence of anthropogenic disturbances along two elevational transects with contrasting slope aspects in a temperate rainforest and alpine scrub in southern Chile.

Detecting Nothofagus pumilio Growth Reductions Induced by Past Spring Frosts at the Northern Patagonian Andes. [PDF]
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 ...
