Unasylva - Vol. 10, No. 4 - Natural forests of Chile Of the other conifers, ciprés de cordillera, lleuque and mañio occur mainly to the north of Osorno province, but ciprés de las guaitecas, mañio macho and mañio hembra are more typical of the heavy rainfall areas, and are found far to the south. Thus, in the Northern provinces of Tarapacá, Antofagasta and Atacama - the Norte Grande - desert conditions discourage the occurrence of natural forests, and such woody vegetation as occurs is xerophilous and restricted to certain localities. 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. www.fao.org /docrep/x5381e/x5381e02.htm
