In English text the decimalsmust be separated by point (.) and thousand units by comma (,). It must utilizethe zero at begin of numbers lower than unit, including probability values. Theresults descriptions of each statistical test must include the exact value ofassociated probability P. For P values lower than 0.001, indicate as P < 0.001. In tables and figures useasterisks for remark the significance level of statistical tests: * = P< 0.05; ** = P < 0.01; *** = P < 0.001; ns = nonsignificant.

It must include the scientific name of all biological organisms that are mentioned in the text in according to the respective international nomenclature. If a common species name is mentioned, the first time must include the respective scientific name incursive within brackets in example Coihue (Nothofagus dombeyi (Mirb.) Oerst.). If it is mentioned in others parts of the text, use the scientific abbreviated name and the adjective of scientific name (in example N. dombeyi), only if it is not produce confusions with another species cited in the manuscript.The tables must include alphanumeric data ordered in rows and columns, only the begining of tables andgeneral tittles are separate by horizontal lines; the data columns must beseparated by spaces not by horizontal lines.
