Bot¨¢nica %D 2008 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %R 10.4067/S0717-66432008000200007 %X 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. ant¨¢rctica krummholz, assemblages of (6)adesmia emarginata-pozoa cori¨¢cea, (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. %K southern andes %K vegetation cartography %K photo-interpretation %K termas de chillan. %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0717-66432008000200007&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
