a Map of the Lácar–Nonthué lake watershed indicating the location of management plans of Chachín (humid site) and Quilanlahue-Yuco (mesic site). b, c Are the zoomed-in view of the humid and mesic sites. The circles represent the study plots and involve two different sampling designs, data analysis and results. Red and grey circles (18) are part of the system of permanent sampling plots (PSP) of the Lanín National Reserve. These PSP have measurements for more than 20 years and these data were used to analyse the dynamics of sexual and asexual regeneration after harvest. On the other hand, 4 of these plots for each site were selected (red circles) and 3 plots were installed in surrounding primary forests (blue circles). With the data from these 14 plots, the effect of silviculture on Nothofagus sexual regeneration was studied
