Litterfall and leaf decomposition in Nothofagus pumilio forests along an altitudinal gradient in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina [PDF]
To achieve a fuller understanding of forest ecosystem functioning, it is necessary to know decomposition dynamics. The objective of this study was to quantify litter production, decomposition and mineralization in Nothofagus pumilio forests, in Tierra ...

New insights into postglacial vegetation dynamics and environmental conditions of Península Avellaneda, southwest Patagonia, revealed by plant macrofossils and pollen analysis [PDF]
Reconstruction of the history of past events becomes more objective when considering an increased number of possible indicators. Combining plant macrofossil analysis with pollen analysis has the potential to give a more detailed picture of the ...

Analysis of Nothofagus pumilio and Nothofagus antarctica Hybridization Zones in Southern Chile
Interspecific hybridization is documented in various tree species, including the three types of Nothofagus species (N. pumilio, N. antarctica, and N. betuloides) unique to Southern Patagonia. Previous studies found that hybridization results in developmental instability, which is reflected in the increase of leaf fluctuating asymmetry.

A Systematic Review of 65 Years of Research on Nothofagus: An Iconic Southern Hemisphere Genus
ABSTRACT Nothofagus is a genus of 37 species of tree distributed across the Southern Hemisphere and has long been considered a taxon of fundamental importance for understanding the evolution and ecology of the forest ecosystems of the Southern Hemisphere. Using quantitative text analysis, we evaluated 65 years of research on this iconic genus.

Las propuestas silvícolas de los bosques de Nothofagus pumilio se basan en la apertura del dosel para estimular el crecimiento de la regeneración, cambiando la disponibilidad de agua y luz. Las plántulas sobreviven como si fueran especies tolerantes y crecen lentamente por largo tiempo (más de 20 años) bajo altas coberturas.

Ecology of bryophytes along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients in Chile [PDF]
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 ...
