"part 50 yrs but has lots of big trees (mostly olivillo and
notopagus oligua which they call rolle) and smaller tree of
luma, tepla, arroyacos, and 2 species of podocarpus, one
two over our mountains and one with long sparse "needles".
also Drimp, no Berberis, and quite a list of a branching
species of bamboos that they call quila but different than
anything on the Argentine side. The floor is much more
open than on any of our study areas. They catch almost
entirely also oliviens and Oryzopsis, but rarely an also
donga, arroyacos, or Drimpipes or Notopus rodin.
Pedro says the quila floored 6 yrs ago, no mouse outbreak,
and all the quilas did not die. He also says another kind of
cover farther up in the coastal hills; it has not floored
recently. Their trees are at permanent stations, not neces-
sarily at "good" sets. Their tree success is low - only a few
percent.
They also have a grid in the meadow - sawgrass
(not bulgrass) with distinct runways in place, but the
whole meadow being overwhelmed by seedling notopagus,
blackberry, and quila. Trapping success low, catch almost
entirely Oryz, and also Luma. Sawo grey fox nearby.
Returned home over longlive pass agains. The branching
bamboos overlaps with coulson but drops out before the larga
zone. The big coulson drops out at about the begining of
the larga, then there is larga/quila, then just larga.
no Berberis until fairly high. Barley comes in on the
Argentine side it about the level where conyule comes in
(lessnow?). First the Argentine quila, but soon big coulson.
