Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1877-1949, October 2025.ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

Ciencia & Investigación Forestal, 2008 En Magallanes los bosques de lenga aptos para la producción de madera son del orden de 500.000 ha. Desde 1991 los bosques que se intervienen se manejan con cortas de protección. Hasta la fecha se han intervenido cerca de 30.000 ha bajo este sistema. En este trabajo se analiza las modificaciones que se producen en los bosques intervenidos a existencias,

Isozyme Polymorphisms Provide Evidence of Clinal Variation With Elevation in Nothofagus pumilio [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2003 Variable physical conditions along elevational gradients strongly influence patterns of genetic differentiation in tree species. Here, the hypothesis is tested that different growth forms of Nothofagus pumilio, which characterizes the subalpine forests in the southern Andes, will display continuous genetic variation with elevation.

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 ...

An ecophysiographic approach for Araucaria araucana regeneration management [PDF]
, 2012 Chilean temperate forests are dominated by Nothofagus and Araucaria araucana species. Despite A. araucana not being at imminent risk of extinction, its cultural value and the associated environmental services and landscape goods have an important role

Effects of Niche Marginality on Hotter‐Drought Tree Mortality in Angiosperms and Gymnosperms
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Current observations of global tree mortality events associated with drought raise concerns about climate change risks to forests' dynamics and function. It is unclear which forests are more susceptible to pulses of mortality under further changing climates.

Habitat-specific vegetation and seasonal drivers of bird community structure and function in southern Patagonian forests [PDF]
, 2015 Biodiversity conservation requires knowledge about the factors that influence the structure and function of biotic assemblages. In southern Patagonian Nothofagus forests, birds are the most abundant and diverse vertebrates and are known to have different

The First Firn Core From the Cordillera Darwin Icefield: Implications for Future Ice Core Research
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.Abstract The Southern Hemisphere westerly winds (SHWWs) (45–65°S) are important regulators of the Southern Hemisphere climate. The scarcity of observational records at the core of the wind belt hinders our understanding of the environmental impact and long‐term variability of the westerly winds.
