          Abstract

          Se estudió la movilidad de material leñoso de gran tamaño (LW) en segmentos de los cauces principales de las cuencas Vuelta de Zorra y Pichún, ubicadas en la Cordillera de la Costa, Chile. Se encontraron relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre el ancho del canal al nivel de cauce lleno (bankfull) de ambos cauces y variables dependientes asociadas a algunas características de las piezas de madera en cada tramo estudiado. Esto indicaría que la longitud de los elementos y no el diámetro regularía la movilidad del material durante crecidas. Luego de la temporada de invierno del año 2009, el 12 y el 6,5 % del material leñoso se movilizó en las cuencas Vuelta de Zorra y Pichún. El menor porcentaje de piezas movilizadas en Pichún estaría dado por el menor cociente entre el ancho de bankfull y la longitud media de los LW. Se encontró una tendencia no significativa entre la distancia recorrida con la longitud no dimensional de las piezas de material leñoso (largo de la pieza/ancho medio de bankfull), que indicaría que la distancia recorrida disminuiría al aumentar la longitud adimensional de las piezas. La movilidad de LW en ambos cauces se asocia a la ocurrencia de crecidas normales, y podría considerarse una tasa mínima de movilidad a niveles anuales. Durante el estudio, se incorporó al cauce un volumen de madera mayor al que salió por transporte desde los segmentos estudiados, por lo que el periodo de estudio correspondió a uno de acumulación de material leñoso en ambos cauces.

          Translated abstract

          In-stream large wood mobility was studied in segments of the main channels of Vuelta de Zorra and Pichún catchments, located in the Coastal Mountain Range, Chile. Statistical significant relationships were found only between bankfull channel width and dependent variables associated to some large wood characteristics measured in the channel reaches. This would indicate that large wood length, and not diameter, would regulate the mobility of the wood pieces during high flows. After the winter season of 2009, the 12 and 6.5 % of the wood elements were mobilized in Vuelta de Zorra and Pichún, respectively. The lower percentage in Pichún would be associated to the lower bankfull width/mean piece length ratio. A statistical non-significant trend was found between mobilized distance and piece length/mean bankfull width; indicating that distance decreased with increased dimensionless piece length. Large wood mobility in the two channels was associated to normal peak flows and could be considered as a minimum mobility rate at annual level. The recruited wood volume was higher than the exported wood volume in both segments, therefore the study period can be considered as an in-stream large wood stocking-period.
