    ANATOMICAL LEAF ADAPTATIONS IN VASCULAR PLANTS OF A SALT-MARSH IN THE ATACAMA DESERT (CHILE)
    (1991) POBLETE, V; CAMPOS, V; GONZALEZ, L; MONTENEGRO, G
    A community of vascular plants living in a salt marsh in the Atacama Desert (northern Chile) was studied. Environmental parameters such as high solar radiation, drought, wind and high salt concentration are the most important limiting factors. Above-ground vegetative organs of twelve species living in this environment were morphologically and microscopically analyzed in terms of adaptive features that allow them to survive under these conditions.
