Runoff and Sediment Transport in the Arid Regions of Argentina and India: A Case Study in Comparative Hydrology
(Winand Staring Centre for Integrated Land, Soil and Water Research, 1996-06)
The arid zones of Argentina and India have been compared. In both regions run-off is often generated by the Hortonian infiltration surplus overland flow, and run-off response to precipitation input tends to be rapid. The ...
Spatial distribution of biological soil crusts along an aridity gradient in the central-west of Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-05)
Biocrusts presented their highest expression in the inter-patches. However, an increase in the level of aridity along the landscape could lead to vascular plants to make a notable influence on the spatial distribution of ...
