A Contribution to the Flora and Vegetation of Isla de los Estados (Staten Island), Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

Records of environmental changes during the Holocene from Isla de los Estados (54.4°S), southeastern Tierra del Fuego

“…Climate is oceanic with a mean annual precipitation of around 1500 mm and January and July mean temperatures of 9.0 and 2.7°C, respectively (Dudley and Crow, 1983). Strong winds, mainly from the southwest and west, prevail throughout the year.…”

“…Strong winds, mainly from the southwest and west, prevail throughout the year. Maximum tidal range on the northern coast is c. 2.5 m. Dudley and Crow (1983) recognized seven different vegetation types, which are mainly related to altitude and terrain forms. The oceanic conditions are best reflected by the typical Nothofagus betuloides and Drimys winteri evergreen forest with extremely dense, often almost impenetrable shrub and bryophyte undergrowth.…”
