(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-05)
An integral, glacial and periglacial, inventory of the cryosphere in the Atacama region in Chile was carried out to estimate the amount of frozen water reserves in this arid to hyper-arid region. The inventory was carried ...
Variations in the coverage of biological soil crusts along an aridity gradient in the central-west Argentina
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2020-11)
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) play a fundamental role in arid and semiarid areas of South America. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to the distribution and coverage of them, and studies about biocrusts are ...
Mapping and monitoring Lakes Intra-Annual variability in semi-arid regions: A case of study in Patagonian Plains (Argentina)
(MDPI AG, 2018-07-03)
In arid and semi-arid regions, the climatic impact on lakes is especially critical, as they are scarce and play an important role as a primary source of the water supply. However, in some extended regions with those climatic ...
