“…Nothofagus dombeyi dominates slopes in the western parts in an elevation belt below Nothofagus pumilio , where the mean annual precipitation fluctuates between 1000 and 2800 mm. Nothofagus antarctica possesses the greatest ecological amplitude among the South American Nothofagus species (Donoso, 2013) and adopts different morphotypes according to the environment in which it develops (Premoli, 1991; Ramírez and Figueroa, 1987). In our study site, this species is forming monospecific woodland and mixed patches of open vegetation towards the dry end of the precipitation gradient.…”

Late-Holocene vegetation dynamics and disturbance regimes in north Patagonia Argentina (40°S)

Natural disturbance processes such as volcanic eruptions, fire and human activities are important vegetation drivers in north Patagonia. Here, we tested the impact of volcanic ash fall and fire on vegetation composition analysing two sediment records, Lake Avutarda and Lake Bruja, located in the forest-steppe transition at 40°S. In addition, our analysis provides the first account on the history of Nothofagus alpina at its eastern distribution limits. Our results comprise the last 3000 years, indicating the persistence of the vegetation despite evident volcanic activity documented by numerous tephra layers in both records. Eleven fire episodes were identified, while redundancy analysis indicates a non-significant influence of fire activity on the vegetation. The population increase of Nothofagus alpina represents the most important change in vegetation composition in the last three millennia. We speculate that the presumed change in climate, which led to the expansion of Austrocedrus chilensis south of the study area, also caused the increase of Nothofagus alpina populations in the region.

“…The evergreen rain forest is a catchall term for a mix of associations, or combinations of dominant and secondary tree species. They have been categorized differently by various authors: Veblen and Schlegel (1982) identified sixteen associations, while Ramirez and Figueroa (1987) found twenty-three. 6 But the gradations between different types are so imperceptible that Claudio Donoso (1989) concluded that the different associations are more arbitrary than helpful and calls them simply "evergreen.…”

“…Quintanilla (1983) distinguished belts of ulmoolivillo, ulmo-tineo, coigiie-tineo-mafiio, and tepa-tineo, differentiated by altitude and exposure to the prevailing westerly winds. Ramirez and Figueroa (1987) developed a statistical measure of floristic affinity delimiting forests of olivillo, coigiie-ulmo, arrayan, and tepa-tineo within the evergreen forest.…”

Chile has gained a reputation as the Latin American economic success story of the 1990s. Domestic savings rates are high, foreign investment continues to expand, inflation remains single-digit, and economic growth has averaged 6 percent annually from 1984 to 1995. In the seven years of democratic government since 1989, the poor have begun to share some of the benefits of this growth. From 1989 to 1993, unemployment fell from 12.2 percent to 4.9 percent, and social expenditures increased by a third in real terms (Hojman 1995). But Chile's impressive recent record of sustained economic development coupled with improvements in social justice has incurred significant environmental costs that raise doubts about the ecological sustainability of the Chilean model (Meller, O'Ryan, and Solimano 1996).

“…It was inferred that this Nothofagetum nitidae shows more affinity with Chrysosplenio-Nothofagetum dombeyi, Fitzroyetum cupressoidis and Pilgerodendronetum uviferi, and this group (denominated Chiloe woodland, Bosque chilote) is classed as "cold humid" in contraposition to the Valdivian woodland group classed as "temperate humid". Ramirez and Figueroa ( 1987) likewise do not present releves, in a study which aims to offer a summary of the phytosociological behaviour of the different species of the genus Nothofagus in the Chilean hygromorphic zone (following the phytogeographic terminology of Fuenzalida & Pisano, 1965). Although these authors reiterate the idea of a Nothofagetum nitidae, optimally developed in mainland and insular Chiloe, this name remains a nomen nudum.…”
