The silent, but vital work of dead wood in the forests of Patagonia

Far from being a simple waste, dead wood plays a fundamental and active role in the health and regeneration of Andean-Patagonic forests, as recently stood out from Lanín National Park. Fallen branches, stumps and trunks, both standing and demolished, are essential components for the natural functioning of these ecosystems. In forests, dead wood favors regeneration because when decomposing collaborates with soil fertility and improves water retention, they explained from the intention of the Lanín National Park. This natural process creates the optimal conditions so that new plants can grow, facilitating the life cycle of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life of the life Forest. In addition to its contribution to the ground, dead wood becomes a valuable refuge for a diversity of species. Since the role of that dead wood in the recovery of the forest is very important, since it will contribute nutrients to the burned soil and allow life to slowly return.

They promote research in pine resins from the NEA
The forestry industry is one of the most important sectors in the economies of Misiones and Corrientes. Thousands of hectares of pine supply the paper, pulp, boards and sawmill industry. Pinus elliottii, one of the species established in the region, in addition to providing wood, is used to produce resin, a non-wood forest product with high demand in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In 2\024, resin extraction of approximately 52,6\0\0 tons was achieved from approximately 18,\0\0\0,\0\0\0 trees in production, generating income and jobs with high expansion potential.
