Consecuencias de la tala maderera colonial en los bosques de alerce de Chiloé, sur de Chile (Siglos XVI-XIX)

Abstract: RESUMENDurante el proceso de colonización española la madera de alerce se transformó en el principal recurso económico de Chiloé, generándose una importante actividad mercantil sustentada en la tala de dicha especie arbórea. Mediante un análisis histórico documental, que abarca desde el siglo XVI al XIX, se examinó la evolución de la tala y del comercio maderero local, evaluándose sus efectos ambientales sobre la cobertura boscosa original del territorio. Los resultados obtenidos permiten constatar que la tala… Show more

“…About 84% of the catchment features old-growth forests dominated by evergreen species and Fitzroya cupressoides (Donoso, 1981), and 16% is permanent snow and ice (CONAF-CONAMA, 1999). Exploitation of these forests began in the late nineteenth century as part of expanding settlement in the region, and early settlers selectively harvested high-quality wood species and burned forests for pasture (Urbina, A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 5 2011; Torrejón et al, 2011). Log driving or rafting was common along the remote rivers of southern Chile such as the Rayas (Urbina, 2011;Torrejón et al, 2011).…”

“…Exploitation of these forests began in the late nineteenth century as part of expanding settlement in the region, and early settlers selectively harvested high-quality wood species and burned forests for pasture (Urbina, A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 5 2011; Torrejón et al, 2011). Log driving or rafting was common along the remote rivers of southern Chile such as the Rayas (Urbina, 2011;Torrejón et al, 2011). Forestry was the main economic activity in the area, but logging decreased in the early twentieth century and ceased in the 1970s by Decree 490 of 1977 by the Chilean Ministry of Agriculture (http://bcn.cl/19k8m), which prohibits the cutting of Fitzroya cupressoides.…”

“…Si bien el análisis de las macropartículas de carbón nos permite hablar de fuegos locales (Whitlock & Larsen 2001, Whitlock et al 2007, resulta más complejo poder relacionarlos con la causa de los mismos. La evidencia arqueológica de la zona de estudio da cuenta de la presencia de humanos desde hace varios miles de años, pero no permite tener una referencia clara de la influencia que las culturas originarias pudieron ejercer sobre la vegetación y los regímenes de fuego (Torrejón et al 2011). Registros históricos para los últimos 400 años evidencian la influencia que ejerció la colonización española en la región, a través del despeje de áreas prístinas para el asentamiento humano (Weber 1903, Oyarzún 1934, Trivero 2005, Mancilla & Rehbein 2007 y para tierras destinadas a los cultivos y ganadería, a consecuencia de la expansión progresiva de la población (Gómez de Vidaurre 1889, Elizalde 1970, Armesto et al 1994.…”

“…Patagonian rainforest soils have some of the world's highest organic carbon contents, which can be up to 30% (Casanova et al, 2013). Settlers arrived in the area in the late 19th century, began to selectively harvest high-quality wood species, and burned forests for pasture (Torrejón et al, 2011;Urbina, 2011…”
