Pre-Germination Treatments at Operational Scale for Six Tree Species from the Sclerophyll Forest of Central Chile
(MDPI, 2022)
Sclerophyll forest in Mediterranean central Chile has been subjected to severe degradation due to anthropic disturbances and climate change and is in need of restoration. Since direct seeding is usually unsuccessful, we ...
Native Plant Production in Chile. Is It Possible to Achieve Restoration Goals by 2035?
(MDPI, 2021)
Facing rapid loss of biodiversity as a consequence of climate change, Chile has formally pledged to restore 600,000 ha of native forest by 2035. This effort, however, has not considered the amount and quality of native ...
Fall fertilization during nursery production increases nitrogen status of Purshia tridentata seedlings: implications for outplanting
(Wiley, 2023)
During container nursery production of Purshia tridentata (antelope bitterbrush), we found that three fall fertilization applications successfully loaded plants with nitrogen (N) with little effect on plant biomass. Using ...
Intraspecific variation in drought response of three populations of Cryptocarya alba and Persea lingue, two native species from mediterranean Central Chile
(Frontiers, 2020)
An increase in the severity of drought events on Mediterranean climates highlights the need of using plant material adapted to drought during restoration efforts. Thus, we investigated between-population morpho-physiological ...
Production and establishment techniques for the restoration of Nothofagus alessandrii, an endangered keystone species in a Mediterranean forest
(Springer, 2020)
Ruil (Nothofagus alessandrii) is an endangered keystone species from the Mediterranean climate zone of Chile. Ruil’s fragile state of conservation urges development of restoration programs, but specific protocols for nursery ...
Hydroscapes: A useful metric for distinguishing Iso-/Anisohydric behavior in almond cultivars
(MDPI, 2021)
As a consequence of climate change, water scarcity has increased the use of the iso-/anisohydric concept with the aim of identifying anisohydric or drought-tolerant genotypes. Recently, Meinzer and colleagues developed a ...
Manual de manejo de riego y fertilización en viveros de plantas a raíz cubierta
(INFOR, 2019)
El presente manual recopila la información técnica entregada durante las capacitaciones realizadas a los viveristas beneficiarios del proyecto, cuyo contenido le permitirá al lector conocer y aplicar las metodologías para ...
Field Establishment Techniques for Guindo Santo, an Endemic Species from Central Chile
(2019)
El rendimiento de plantación durante el primer año se midió en guindo santo (Eucryphia glutinosa (Poepp. & Endl.) Baill.), Una especie de árbol endémico de Chile en la zona climática mediterránea, que está catalogada como ...
Examining physiological, water relations, and hydraulic vulnerability traits to determine anisohydric and isohydric behavior in almond (Prunus dulcis) cultivars: Implications for selecting agronomic cultivars under changing climate
(Frontiers, 2022)
The search for drought tolerant species or cultivars is important to address water scarcity caused by climate change in Mediterranean regions. The anisohydric–isohydric behavior concept has been widely used to describe ...
Decoupling seedling establishment in a shade-intolerant species of a Mediterranean climate: Soil moisture determines survival but growth is promoted by irradiance
(Elsevier, 2024)
In Mediterranean climates, drought is recognized as the main abiotic stress negatively affecting plant survival and growth after establishment. However, several factors besides water scarcity interact to affect plant ...
