Nuevo registro de una poblacion de Fitzroya cupressoides (molina) i.m.johnst. en su limite norte en la isla del rey, Chile

Abstract

This short communication describes a small undocumented population of Fitzroya cupressoides (Molina) I.M.Johnst. in the northern limit of the Chilean Coastal Range. The stand is of 1.19 ha in size in 39°53′S, 73°19′O at 25 m a.s.l. This small isolated stand is inserted in a highly fragmented landscape dominated by exotic tree plantations. This unique condition makes urgent the development of a genetic and biogeographical conservation strategy.
