This book provides a global ecological overview, together with in-depth studies of specific processes. The Chihuahuan desert is the warmest in North America, and has a complex geologic, climatic and biogeographical history, which affects today’s distribution of vegetation and plants and generates complex phylogeographic patterns..The high number of endemic species reflects this complex set of traits. The modern distribution of environments, including aquatic and subaquatic systems, riparian environments, gypsum dunes and gypsum-rich soils, low levels of phosphorous and organic matter, and high salinity combined with an extreme climate call for a range of adaptations. Plants are distributed in a patchy pattern based on punctual variations, and many of them respond to different resources and conditions with considerablemorphological plasticity. In terms of physiological, morphological and ecological variability, cacti were identified as the most important group in specific environments like bajadas, characterized by high d | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Desert plants; Desert biogeography; Vegetation disturbance; Arid botany; Paleogeographic vegetation; Cact | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-44963-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-44965-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-44963-6Series ISSN 2523-7284 Series E-ISSN 2523-7292 | | issn_series | 2523-7284 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
