| Sumario: | A vegetation survey of the AndeanNevados de Chillan volcanic complex, Bio-Bio Region, Chile, resulted in the preparation of a colour vegetation map, based on photo-interpretation of an aerial photograph of 1998. Classification followed a divisive method and combined physiognomic, floristic, and pedologic criteria. It resulted in eleven distinguishable vegetation units: (1) Nothofagus dombeyi forest, (2) N. pumilio forest, (3) Nothofagus mixed forest, (4) N. pumilio krummholz, (5) N. antárctica krummholz, assemblages of (6)Adesmia emarginata-Pozoa coriácea, (l)Adesmia emarginata-Berberis empetrifolia, (K) Adesmia emarginata-Loasa lateritia, (9) Chusquea culeou-Cokones, and (10) Caltha sagittata-Mimulus luteus, and the (11) Nassauvia revoluta-Poa obvallata assemblage which builds the upper vegetational belt. The study area's vegetation, located in the Mediterranean-temperate transition zone, shows a higher floristic affinity to temperate regions' vegetation. |
