Nitrate deposits of the atacama desert: A marker of long-term hyperaridity
(Mineralogical Society of America, 2018)
The nitrate deposits of the Atacama Desert are unique when one considers that in most surface environments nitrate is produced or consumed by biological processes and is easily washed away by rain. Nitrate deposits have ...
Influence of Physical-Chemical Soil Parameters on Microbiota Composition and Diversity in a Deep Hyperarid Core of the Atacama Desert
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-02)
The extreme environmental conditions and lack of water on the soil surface in hyperarid deserts hamper microbial life, allowing only highly specialized microbial communities to the establish colonies and survive. Until ...
Chronology, stratigraphy and hydrological modelling of extensive wetlands and paleolakes in the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert during the late quaternary
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)
© 2018 Elsevier LtdThe halite-encrusted salt pans (salars) present at low elevations in the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile are unique features of one of the driest and possibly oldest deserts on ...
Microbiology of hyper-arid environments: recent insights from the Atacama Desert, Chile
(Springer, 2013)
Interests in the Atacama Desert of northern
Chile until very recently were founded on its
mineral resources, notably nitrate, copper, lithium and
boron. Now this vast desert, the oldest and most arid
on Earth, is ...
Nitrogen cycling in an extreme hyperarid environment inferred from delta n-15 analyses of plants, soils and herbivore diet
(2016)
Climate controls on the nitrogen cycle are suggested by the negative correlation between precipitation and delta N-15 values across different ecosystems. For arid ecosystems this is unclear, as water limitation among other ...
