Evaluación de la mortalidad de bosques de ñirre (Nothofagus antarctica) en la Patagonia chilena mediante imágenes Landsat TM y ETM+
Antarctic beech forests (Nothofagus antarctica (G. Forst.) Oerst.) have shown a major decline process in the past few decades, together with an important lack of specific studies on this type of forest. The aim of this work was to create cartography of the surface of Antarctic beech forests and to e...
