Abstract
The Campo Arenal, situated 125 km westsouthwest of Tucumán, is a bolson-like basin in a region with an arid climate. The study deals with the ecological micro-structure of the vegetation of a section of this bolson. The section which was mapped extends from the recent center of accumulation to one of the surrounding ranges. The mapping took place with a self-reducing tacheometer and a plane table in a scale of 1:5000. The map shows the distribution of the plant communities as depended on the interrelationships between processes of degradation and aggredation, exposition, soil properties and the hydrological regime. Also analysed are some genetic aspects of the vegetation pattern. Lastly, the paper deals with the problems of the ecological boundary of the whole basin and of its earlier greater extension in the form of a basin with centripetal drainage.
