plant zonation, soil-plant relationships, environmental gradientsAbstract
In this study we describe the steps followed to elaborate a conceptual model of soil-plant relationships in a salt marsh: 1) identify vegetation distribution; 2) obtain soil data; 3) study the characteristics of the salinity; 4) analyze the relationships among soil factors; 5) understand soil-plant relationships; 6) elaborate the conceptual model.References
