Experimental Examination of Vegetative Propagation Methods of Nothofagus antarctica (G. Forst.) Oerst. for Restoration of Fire-Damaged Forest in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
Nothofagus antarctica (Antarctic beech) is one of the main woody plants in the temperate deciduous forests and anti-boreal forests of the southern hemisphere. Since colonization of the Andean-Patagonian region by European settlers, however, stands of this species have been severely affected by fires...
