Fig. 1: Mean apical growth rate for each study site, was significantly different (F (2,13) 2.37 p =0.015), “Aysén” was significantly different from “Nahuelbuta” and “Puyehue” (Tukey´s HSDp =0.017). Internal plot: Correlation between apical growth rate (cm month-1) and the percentage of loss conductivity (PLC %) mean per site (R2=0.91 y p =0.001). Bars show standard error and different letters show significant differences between sites.
