Resumen:
Data on tree biomass are essential for understanding the forest carbon cycle and plant adaptations to the
environment. We determined biomass accumulation and allometric relationships in the partitioning of
biomass between aboveground woody biomass, leaves and roots in Nothofagus antarctica.Wemeasured
above- and belowground biomass of N. antarctica trees across different ages (5220 years) and crown
classes (dominant, codominant, intermediate and suppressed) in three site qualities. The biomass
allocation patterns were studied by fitting allometric functions in biomass partitioning between leaves
(ML), stem and branches (MS) and roots (MR). These patterns were tested for all pooled data and according
to site quality and crown classes. Biomass accumulation varied with crown class and site quality. The
root component represented 2672% of the total biomass depending on age and site. N. antarctica scaling
exponents for the relationships ML vs. MS, MA vs. MR, and MS vs. MR were close to those predicted by the
allometric biomass partitioning model. However, when biomass allocation was analyzed by site quality
the scaling exponents varied following the optimal partitioning theory which states that plants should
allocate more biomass to the part of the plant that acquires the most limiting resource. In contrast, the
crown class effect on biomass partitioning was almost negligible. In conclusion, to obtain accurate
estimations of biomass in N. antarctica trees the allometric approach appears as an useful tool but the site
quality should be taken into consideration.
