Study area map, located in the Araucarias Biosphere Reserve (ABR) in the Andes of La Araucanía Region, Chile. Fire “treatments” are shown in red, orange, yellow and green colors. We also show the approximate extent of araucaria forests affected by fires around our sampling areas. Green area shows Araucaria Araucana distribution in Chile66. Brown shading represents elevation, with higher elevations in lighter brown, and ranging from approximately 400 to 3000 m.a.s.l. All treatments were located between 1014 and 1469 m.a.s.l. Protected areas are delimited by dashed black lines.
