The purpose of the present work is to study the effect of an isolated depression and a related rocky outcrop on the flow field in a mesotidal channel of the Bahía Blanca Estuary, Argentina. To this end, measurements of ...

We present a comparative study of the flora and vegetation of marble outcrops and their nearby migmatite matrix from mountains in central Argentina. In all, we sampled 50 sites and recorded the cover-abundance of all ...

Tropical high-altitude vegetation is unique due to susceptibility to severe weather conditions in relation to lower formations, and by the peculiarity of its flora with many relictual components. Studies on plant-pollinator ...

A new species of Baccharis sect. Caulopterae endemic to rocky cliffs in southern Brazil, is here described as Baccharis scopulorum. This new species is characterized by the general presence of basal and persistent leaves, ...

Strong winds are powerful modifiers of coastal areas, altering sedimentary balance on sandy beaches and causing either loss (erosion) or gain (accretion) of sediment. Sand inundations can impact intertidal organisms by ...

Isolated rocky outcrops represent biodiversity centers, refuges for endangered species, and favorable scenarios for endemism. Most studies in these ecosystems have been focused mainly on their flora and secondarily on ...

We investigated the relative importance of various natural and human-related environmental factors on the structure of 36 cacti communities occurring on rocky outcrops in southern Brazil grasslands. Outcrops were embedded ...
