Unasylva - Vol. 10, No. 4 - Natural forests of Chile The southern region of Chile, commencing from the transition provinces of Arauco and Malleco and extending to Magallanes, about 1,700 kilometers in length, has, in general, a rainy temperate climate, though as may be expected over such a great range of latitude, the rainfall and temperature present many variations. The quality of the forests of the coastal cordillera of these provinces, also of the forests of Chiloé, Aysen and Magallanes, is notably lower, tending to deteriorate as the latitude or altitude increases.
