Abstract: Durante el proceso de colonización española la madera de alerce se transformó en el principal recurso económico de Chiloé, generándose una importante actividad mercantil sustentada en la tala de dicha especie arbórea. Mediante un análisis histórico documental, que abarca desde el siglo XVI al XIX, se examinó la evolución de la tala y del comercio maderero local, evaluándose sus efectos ambientales sobre la cobertura boscosa original del territorio. Los resultados obtenidos permiten constatar que la tala colonial del alerce habría generado sólo una moderada alteración de los alerzales más accesibles, en comparación a lo ocurrido en los inicios de la República tras la notoria intensificación de la explotación maderera. En consecuencia se descarta la tradicional idea de la desaparición o extinción de alerzales en Chiloé durante el dominio colonial. / During the Spanish settlement processes the wood from the Alerce tree was the main economical resource of Chiloé (Southern Chile), generating an important commercial activity in the region. The development of the Alerce timber and trading was studied based on historical-documentary analysis including data from the 16th to 19th century. Special attention on the environmental effect was assessed based on the original Alerce forest conditions. Findings allow concluding that the colonial Alerce removal it would have caused only a minor disturbance to the original forest, and it would have taken place within the most accessible Alerzales (Alerce patches) only, contrary to the situation observed at the beginning of the republic period when an enormous Alerce exploitation was experimented. Therefore, it has been proved that the disappearance and extinction of Alerzales in Chiloé, during the colonial domain, did not occur.
