Modern vegitation is impoverished high-elevation bunchgrass steppe with Festuca pallescens and shrubs in the families Asteraceae (Baccharis ssp., Chiliotrichium rosmarinifolium, Chuquiraga ssp., Mutisia ssp., Perezia ssp.) and Rhamnaceae (Colletia spinosissima), as well as Berberis rosmarinifolia, Ephedra frustillata and Eryngium paniculatum (Apiaceae). Native herbs include Osmorhiza berteroi (Apiaceae), Calceolaria biflora (Scrophulariaceae), Quinchamalium chilense (Santalaceae) and Phacelia sp. (Hydrophyllaceae), among others. Introduced herbs include Rumex acetosella and Plantago lanceolata. The mountain slopes are covered by the northernmost extent of southern beech (Nothofagus) forest, which is occurs to treeline at 1700 m elevation. Nothofagus obliqua dominates lower elevation forests, while N. pumilio and N. antarctica grow at higher elevations, forming a krummholz belt above the treeline in the transition zone to the Andean tundra. N. antarctica also grows on poor soils at all elevations. Few Austrocedrus chilensis trees grow at lower elevations, and burnt and dead trees of Nothofagus obliqua in the watershed offer abundant evidence of fires in recent times.Markgraf, V., 1987.

Modern vegitation is impoverished high-elevation bunchgrass steppe with Festuca pallescens and shrubs in the families Asteraceae (Baccharis ssp., Chiliotrichium rosmarinifolium, Chuquiraga ssp., Mutisia ssp., Perezia ssp.) and Rhamnaceae (Colletia spinosissima), as well as Berberis rosmarinifolia, Ephedra frustillata and Eryngium paniculatum (Apiaceae). Native herbs include Osmorhiza berteroi (Apiaceae), Calceolaria biflora (Scrophulariaceae), Quinchamalium chilense (Santalaceae) and Phacelia sp. (Hydrophyllaceae), among others. Introduced herbs include Rumex acetosella and Plantago lanceolata. The mountain slopes are covered by the northernmost extent of southern beech (Nothofagus) forest, which is occurs to treeline at 1700 m elevation. Nothofagus obliqua dominates lower elevation forests, while N. pumilio and N. antarctica grow at higher elevations, forming a krummholz belt above the treeline in the transition zone to the Andean tundra. N. antarctica also grows on poor soils at all elevations.

Potrerillo-2 is located in the eastern foothills of the Western Cordillera. The core was collected from a swamp which is located in a depression in the flood plain of the Patia River. The rocks outcropping in the surrounding hills are mainly of volcanic origin, but limestone and shale are also present. Nowadays the Patia Valley is almost cleared from forests due to intensive human activities. However, small remnants of dry forest vegetation still occur.Gonzalez-Carranza, Z., Berrio, J.C., Hooghiemstra, H., Duivenvoorden, J.F. and Behling, H., 2008.

Fontanito is in recently-logged mixed Nothofagus pumilio and N. antarctica forest, approximately 25 km west of steppe vegetation. The wetland may have originated as an embayment of the larger proglacial lake or formed in an isolated ice-block depression along the lateral moraine system. Upper treeline lies above 1300 m elevation to the west and includes N. pumilio, Berberis illicifolia. East of M. Fontanito, the forest is replaced by shrubland that includes N. antarctica, Schinus, Berberis serratodentata, and Baccharis patagonica. Grass-shrub steppe to the east is dominated by tussock grasses (e.g., Stipa, Poa) intermingled with cushion shrubs (e.g., Mulinum spinosum, Adesmia boronioides, Senecio filaginoides, Nassauvia darwinii), and herbs (e.g., Asteraceae subfamily Asteroideae, Arenaria, Geum magellanicum). Forest cover at the site was extensively reduced by 19th- and 20th- century land clearance, fire, and livestock grazing. Disturbed areas support N. antarctica, Escallonia alpina, Gunnera chilensis, Acaena splendens, and A. magellanica, as well as introduced weeds (e.g., Taraxacum officinalis, Holcus lanatus, Rumex acetosella).Nanavati, W.P., Whitlock, C., Iglesias, V. and de Porras, M.E., 2019.
