Spatio-Temporal Changes in Structure for a Mediterranean Urban Forest: Santiago, Chile 2002 to 2014 (MDPI, 2016)There is little information on how urban forest ecosystems in South America and Mediterranean climates change across both space and time. This study statistically and spatially analyzed the spatio-temporal dynamics of ...
-
(International Association for Plant Taxonomy, 2016)he Boraginales are now universally accepted as monophyletic and firmly placed in Lamiidae. However, a consensus about familial classification has remained elusive, with some advocating recognition of a single, widely ...

Differential adaptations in nursery seedlings from diverse Chilean provenances of Peumus boldus Mol (SISEF-SOC Italiana Selvicolture Ecol Forestale, 2016)Seed germination, seedling growth and biomass allocation of the endemic species Peumus boldus Mol. (Boldo) were studied in four provenances (two northern and two southern provenances) from central Chile. Seeds collected ...
-
(Springer, 2016)Key message In Chile, breeding radiata pine for growth has led to drifts in the degree of drought tolerance of the seedlings. Interior provenances gained a larger tolerance to drought after three breeding generations as ...

(Universidad de Chile, 2008)El presente estudio propone y aplica un método de evaluación técnico-económica para la implementación de un centro de producción de astillas pulpables en Aserraderos CORZA S.A., considerando las condiciones actuales, ...
-
(Springer, 2015)Background: Water accounts for around half of the total mass in living trees, and therefore large savings can be achieved if logs are dried before transporting or burning. Methods: An air-drying model for piled logs of ...
-
(Raptor Research Foundation, 2016)Causes of admission to rehabilitation centers can provide valuable information about factors that cause mortality in the wild. We studied causes of admission to a rehabilitation center for 108 Andean Condors (Vultur gryphus) ...

Low habitat overlap at landscape scale between wild camelids and feral donkeys in the Chilean desert (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)Feral domestic ungulates may compete with the populations of wild herbivores with which they coexist, particularly so in arid regions. The potential competition between wild camelids and feral donkeys at the eastern sector ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016)Biodiversity is considered to be an essential element of the Earth system, driving important ecosystem services. However, the conservation of biodiversity in a quickly changing world is a challenging task which requires ...
-
(Ediciones Universitarias, 2015)Endemism is one of the main considerations in historical biogeography and one of the most important criteria when establishing conservation priorities. Worldwide, more than 90% of the plants listed in conservation categories ...
-
(PUC, 2015)Acacia caven (Mol.) Mol. (Leguminosae), generally known as "espino," is one of the most common tree species in the Mediterranean region of Chile. This species grows in nutritionally poor soils with low water availability ...

(Universidad de Chile, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y de la Conservación de la Naturaleza, 2015)Con el objetivo de construir un modelo de manejo para el autocontrol del tamaño de las ramas en las trozas basales de renovales dominados por Nothofagus obliqua (roble) que crecen en la precordillera del Maule, se realizó ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)The family Myrtaceae in Chile comprises 26 species in 10 genera. The species occur in a diverse range of environments including humid temperate forests, swamps, riparian habitats and coastal xeromorphic shrublands. Most ...
-
(Univ Austral Chile, Fac Ciencias Forestales, 2015)Peumus boldus, an endemic tree species of central Chile, belongs to sclerophyllous forests. Its semi-xerophytes condition allows it to grow in places with low rainfall and poor soils. The current shrubby condition is due ...
-
Crown size and growing space requirement of common tree species inurban centres, parks, and forests (Elsevier, 2015)Tree crown size determines among others tree’s growth, carbon sequestration, shading, filtering of fineair particulates, and risk of wind-breaking. The dependence of crown size on species, resource supply,and tree age ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)In the context of global change the possible loss of biodiversity has been identified as a major concern. Biodiversity could be seriously threatened as a direct consequence of changes in availability of food, changing ...
-
(Univ Católica de Valparaíso, 2015)En el presente estudio, se realizaron visitas mensuales a la comunidad de Mata de Limón (diciembre 2011 a noviembre 2012) localizada en el Pacífico central de Costa Rica para evaluar una serie de aspectos pesqueros ...

-
(Public Library Science, 2015)Shrubs can have a net positive effect on the recruitment of other species, especially relict species in dry-stressful conditions. We tested the effects of nurse shrubs and herbivory defoliation on performance (survival and ...
-
(Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Oceanográficas, Universidad de Concepción, 2015)Species of fleshy-fruited Myrtaceae are generally associated with humid environments and their vegetative anatomy is mainly mesophytic. Myrceugenia rufa is an endemic and rare species from arid zones of the coast of central ...
