Highland vegetation
The biogeographic characteristics are related to the climatic conditions and the relief units of this region. The shortage of water, the strong temperatures, and the pronounced thermal amplitudes mark a type of very particular vegetation. In this region, it is possible to find xeromorphic species that are able to withstand the aridity of the desert. On the coast, more favorable characteristics are produced due to oceanic influence, predominantly grasses and grasses of an ephemeral nature that grow during periods of higher humidity.
In the intermediate pampas of the desert, there is no presence of vegetation due to the total absence of rains, except for small areas where the coastal influence is felt, being able to observe some cacti. In the area of the altiplanic zone, where the marginal high desert climate predominates, the greater abundance of summer rainfall allows the development of a denser plant carpet with small, and generally cushioned, plants which, in conjunction with a saline environment, cause fragile and very unique ecosystem conditions.
