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 still scarce especially in Argentina. The goal of this contribution was to analyze the coverage of biocrusts and their main biological components along an aridity gradient in the central-west Argentina. The coverage percentage of each component was recorded using the point-quadrat method in transects along a gradient consisting of three bioclimatic sites: semiarid, arid, and hyperarid. The diversity of components in biocrusts was recorded in each studied site. The semiarid site had the highest record of species followed by the arid and hyperarid site. The hyperarid site had the highest record of cyanobacteria species and the semiarid site of lichens. The arid site was the system with the highest coverage of biocrusts followed by the hyperarid site. The semiarid site presented the lowest value of coverage. Cyanobacteria were the dominant group in the hyperarid site. Additionally, cyanobacteria together with lichens were dominant in the arid site. The coverage of the studied organisms showed variations in the semiarid site. Results found in this contribution supported the idea that the coverage and organisms in biocrusts showed changes along an aridity gradient. Differences about the dominance of species and the coverage of biocrusts could be reflected in the functioning role of them in the different sites.

阿根廷中西部干旱地区生物土壤结皮覆盖率的变化

在南美洲的干旱和半干旱地区,生物土壤结皮(生物结皮)起着重要作用。然而,很少关注它们的分布和覆盖范围,关于生物结皮的研究仍然很少,尤其是在阿根廷。这项贡献的目的是分析阿根廷中西部沿干旱梯度的生物结皮及其主要生物成分的覆盖率。使用点-quadrat方法沿样条线沿着包括三个生物气候位点(半干旱,干旱和超干旱)的坡度记录每个分量的覆盖率。在每个研究地点都记录了生物结皮成分的多样性。半干旱地区的物种记录最高,其次是干旱和高干旱地区。高干旱地区的蓝细菌种类最高,地衣的半干旱地区最高。干旱地点是生物结皮覆盖率最高的系统,其次是高干旱地点。半干旱地区的覆盖率最低。蓝细菌是高干旱地区的主要人群。此外,蓝细菌和地衣在干旱地区占主导地位。所研究生物的覆盖范围显示了半干旱地区的变化。在这一贡献中发现的结果支持了这样的想法,即生物结皮中的覆盖物和生物体显示出沿干旱梯度的变化。关于物种优势和生物结壳的覆盖范围的差异可能反映在它们在不同地点的作用中。干旱地点是生物结皮覆盖率最高的系统,其次是高干旱地点。半干旱地区的覆盖率最低。蓝细菌是高干旱位点的主导群体。此外,蓝细菌和地衣在干旱地区占主导地位。所研究生物的覆盖范围显示了半干旱地区的变化。在这一贡献中发现的结果支持了这样的想法,即生物结皮中的覆盖物和生物体显示出沿干旱梯度的变化。关于物种优势和生物结壳的覆盖范围的差异可能反映在它们在不同地点的作用中。干旱地点是生物结皮覆盖率最高的系统,其次是高干旱地点。半干旱地区的覆盖率最低。蓝细菌是高干旱位点的主导群体。此外,蓝细菌和地衣在干旱地区占主导地位。所研究生物的覆盖范围显示了半干旱地区的变化。在这一贡献中发现的结果支持了这样的想法,即生物结皮中的覆盖物和生物体显示出沿干旱梯度的变化。关于物种优势和生物结壳的覆盖范围的差异可能反映在它们在不同地点的作用中。蓝细菌和地衣在干旱地区占主导地位。所研究生物的覆盖范围显示了半干旱地区的变化。在这一贡献中发现的结果支持了这样的想法,即生物结皮中的覆盖物和生物体显示出沿干旱梯度的变化。关于物种优势和生物结壳覆盖率的差异可能反映在它们在不同地点的作用中。蓝细菌和地衣在干旱地区占主导地位。所研究生物的覆盖范围显示了半干旱地区的变化。在这一贡献中发现的结果支持了这样的想法,即生物结皮中的覆盖物和生物体显示出沿干旱梯度的变化。关于物种优势和生物结壳的覆盖范围的差异可能反映在它们在不同地点的作用中。
