Warming and drought weaken the carbon sink capacity of an endangered paleoendemic temperate rainforest in South America
Perez‐Quezada, J. F., Barichivich, J., Urrutia‐Jalabert, R., Carrasco, E., Aguilera, D., Bacour, C., Lara, A.

Measurements of ecosystem carbon (C) fluxes in temperate forests are concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere, leaving the functionally diverse temperate forests in the Southern Hemisphere underrepresented. Here, we report three years (February 2018-January 2021) of C fluxes, studied with eddy-covariance and closed chamber techniques, …

The Oldest, Slowest Rainforests In The World? Massive Biomass And Slow Carbon Dynamics Of Fitzroya Cupressoides Temperate Forests In Southern Chile
Urrutia-Jalabert, R., Malhi, Y., Lara, A.

Old-growth temperate rainforests are, per unit area, the largest and most long-lived stores of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere, but their carbon dynamics have rarely been described. The endangered Fitzroya cupressoides forests of southern South America include stands that are probably the oldest dense forest stands in the world, …

Environmental Correlates Of Stem Radius Change In The Endangered Fitzroya Cupressoides Forests Of Southern Chile
Urrutia-Jalabert, R., Rossi, S., Deslauriers, A., Malhi, Y., Lara, A.

Relationships between environmental factors and stem radius variation at short temporal scales can provide useful information regarding the sensitivity of tree species’ productivity to climate change. This study used automatic point dendrometers to assess the relationship between environmental variables and stem radius contraction …

Increased Water Use Efficiency But Contrasting Tree Growth Patterns In Fitzroya Cupressoides Forests Of Southern Chile During Recent Decades
Urrutia‐Jalabert, R., Malhi, Y., Barichivich, J., Lara, A., Delgado‐Huertas, A., Rodríguez, C. G., Cuq, E.

Little is known about how old‐growth and massive forests are responding to environmental change. We investigated tree‐ring growth and carbon isotopes of the long‐lived and high biomass Fitzroya cupressoid es in two stands growing in contrasting environmental conditions in the Coastal Range (~300 years old) and Andean Cordilleras …
