Population
Regeneration in old growth stands is very good. The species is rarely contained within protected areas.

Habitat and Ecology

Occurring on thin or rocky soils up to 1,500 m.

Systems:Terrestrial

Threats (see Appendix for additional information)

Almost all the pure stands in the coastal range, known as Maule forest, have been logged and converted
into Pinus radiata plantations. The Andean subpopulations are presently under conversion. Since 1985
the woodchip industry has increased the demand for timber.
