Radial Growth Patterns Associated with Tree Mortality in Nothofagus pumilio Forest [PDF]
Forests, 2019 Tree mortality is a key process in forest dynamics. Despite decades of effort to understand this process, many uncertainties remain. South American broadleaf species are particularly under-represented in global studies on mortality and forest dynamics.

The Southernmost Known Population of the Monito Del Monte, Dromiciops gliroides [PDF]
Ecol EvolA range extension for a relict south American marsupial. ABSTRACT The monito del monte (genus Dromiciops) is a small arboreal marsupial endemic to the temperate rainforests of southern South America, and the sole extant representative of the order Microbiotheria. This lineage, considered a sister group of Australian marsupials, is of great evolutionary,

Decoupled Climatic Drivers of Tree and Ground-Layer Carbon Uptake in Mountain Ecosystems Around the World. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolAcross four continents, we investigated how temperature controls the productivity of high mountain vegetation. We found that the productivity of plants growing close to the ground (< 1 m) tends to be controlled by highly localised “microclimate” temperatures, while the productivity of trees was strongly linked to broader‐scale temperatures.

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]
J Fungi (Basel)Fungal 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 ...

Influence of droughts on Nothofagus pumilio forest decline across northern Patagonia, Argentina
Ecosphere, 2016 Understanding the influence of climatic variations on forest decline is a major challenge for scientists investigating global changes. Although reductions in tree growth have previously been associated with forest decline, comprehensive efforts to ...

Climate and Nothofagus pumilio Establishment at Upper Treelines in the Patagonian Andes [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 The upper treeline provides a unique opportunity for documenting changes in forest dynamics in the context of current environmental fluctuations. Documenting the response of forests to present environmental changes will be very useful in developing and ...

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
