Canopy structure analysis for estimating forest regeneration dynamics and growth in Nothofagus pumilio forests [PDF]
•Introduction Silviculture systems applied in Nothofagus pumilio forests are based on opening the canopy to stimulate natural regeneration by modifying light and soil moisture. The objective is to evaluate regeneration dynamics of N. pumilio along different forest canopy and solar radiation gradients.

Genomic Offset Analyses: Mind Your Climate Variables
Recent methods based on genomic offset (GO) statistics aim to quantify the risk of non‐adaptation of populations to future climates. This study assesses how well genomic offset values correspond to population variation in fitness, depending on the methods and climate data used.

Timber management with variable retention in Nothofagus pumilio forests of Southern Patagonia
Abstract Forestry practices integrating ecological and social criteria have been replacing those based only on economic values. Traditional silviculture, such as shelterwood cuts (SC), transforms uneven-aged original stands to an even-aged managed forest.

Nutrient resorption is crucial for mineral element conservation and efficiency of forest species, but knowledge on its significance and the mechanisms involved is still limited for most species and habitats.

Photosynthetic plasticity of Nothofagus pumilio seedlings to light intensity and soil moisture
Abstract Nothofagus seedlings often survive and grow slowly for a long time in the shaded understory. This creates a seedling bank with a potential advantage in reestablishing canopy disturbances. To manage primary forests more effectively, it is important to understand the basis of plant regeneration ecophysiology, and their plasticity to changes in

Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

It is widely accepted that global warming is affecting forests near the tree line by increasing tree growth in these cold‐limited environments. However, since about 1970, a reduction in tree growth near the tree line has been observed in response to ...
