Description
Holcus lanatus L. (Hl), Bromus valdivianus Phil. (Bv) and Agrostis capillaris L. (Ac) are frequently present in the naturalised pasture of the Chilean humid region, which has a summer drought with two distinguishable areas according to average summer rainfall: a Northern area (Long summer drought, LSuD: 136-186 mm;) and a Southern area (Short summer drought, SSuD: 186-338 mm). It was hypothesised that plant species have colonised areas with different water deficits during summer through differentiated drought tolerance, which would imply ecotype generation.
