(Taylor & Francis, 2001)
The distribution
of
Chilean temperate forests
has
been greatly disrupted
by
human
activities, mainly through logging, land clearing
for
agriculture,
and
replacement
of

Natural advance regeneration of native tree species in pinus radiata plantations of South-Central Chile suggests potential for a passive restoration approach
(Springer, 2021)
Restoration of natural forests previously replaced
by plantations is a widespread challenge for forestry
in Chile and elsewhere. However, there is little
documented evidence for successful restoration,
either through ...
Conservation opportunities in commercial plantations: The case of mammals
(2011)
Enhancing the structural complexity of commercial plantations could enrich the presence of mammals within them. We tested this hypothesis through a meta-analysis in order to determine whether more complex plantations, with ...
Deciduous-forest bird communities in a fragmented landscape dominated by exotic pine plantations
(Ecological Society of America, 1999)
Impacts of habitat fragmentation on forest bird communities have often been studied in landscapes dominated by agriculture. The striking structural differences between forest fragments and the matrix have led most researchers ...
Natural forests loss and tree plantations: large-scale tree cover loss differentiation in a threatened biodiversity hotspot
(IOP Publishing, 2020)
Distinguishing between natural forests from exotic tree plantations is essential to get an accurate picture of the world's state of forests. Most exotic tree plantations support lower levels of biodiversity and have less ...
Pine plantations and five decades of land use change in central Chile
(Public Library Science, 2020)
The expansion of forest plantations is cause for concern because of their environmental effects, and the loss of native forests and agricultural land. Our goal was to quantify the increase in pine plantation, and concomitant ...
Proposals of rehabilitation and management actions for the protection of sclerophyllous forests affected by forest fires
(Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Turquia, 2022)
The damage and effects of fire on the native vegetation of Central Chile have been increasing in recent years due to drought conditions and the state of abandonment of the Mediterranean forests. The objective of this ...
Baseline of carbon stocks in pinus radiata and eucalyptus spp. plantations of Chile
(MDPI, 2020)
Forest plantations have a large potential for carbon sequestration, playing an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, despite the large amount of research carried out worldwide, the absolute contribution of ...
Soil invertebrate diversity loss and functional changes in temperate forest soils replaced by exotic pine plantations
(Nature, 2020)
The global expansion of tree plantations is often claimed to have positive effects for mitigating global warming, preventing soil erosion, and reducing biodiversity loss. However, questions remain unanswered about the ...
Caracterización dasométrica de dos plantaciones de Pinus radiata D. Don, con fines de manejo en la parroquia San Andrés, cantón Guano.
(Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo, 2021-09-02)
This research proposes to characterize the productivity and wood quality of two Pinus radiata plantations, for management purposes in the Guano canton. By means of the inventory by using non-aligned systematic sampling ...
