✦ Synopsis

The phenology, growth, and productivity of 7 species of the understory vegetation of the matorral zone of Central Chile were studied. The activity of the herb strata lasts about 6 months, starting soon after the first rain of the season: most of their vegetative growth occurs between early June and mid-September. Experimental plots designed in the field with leaf litter of some dominant shrubs showed no indication of the presence of alMopathic compounds that inhibit either germination or growth of the annual species in the matorral.

The climate in this area is similar to that of the Southern Californian chaparral. The main species present were Lithraea cau
