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 ...
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 ...
Efecto de la concentración de fósforo y calcio sobre atributos morfo-fisiológicos y potencial de crecimiento radical en plantas de Aextoxicon punctatum producidas a raíz cubierta en la etapa de endurecimiento
(Universidad Austral de Chile. Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales, 2020)
El objetivo de este estudio es determinar el efecto de diferentes concentraciones de fósforo y calcio en la etapa de endurecimiento en vivero, sobre atributos morfológicos (longitud de tallo, diámetro de cuello, área ...
Effect of Temperature on the Germination of Five Coastal Provenances of Nothofagus glauca (Phil.) Krasser, the Most Representative Species of the Mediterranean Forests of South America
(MDPI, 2022)
Temperature is one of the most important abiotic factors affecting seed germination, and it is strongly influenced by local site conditions. Seeds of Nothofagus glauca, an endemic and vulnerable species of the Mediterranean ...
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 ...
