A drendrogeomorpholigical study of the local effect of climate change

The climatic and environmental conditions of Patagonia changed substantially after 1850 and after the mid-1970s decade. The impact of these changes is being observed in the new configuration of rivers and their riverine vegetation. The objective of this work is to integrate dendrogeomorphological te...

The impact of these changes is being observed in the new configuration of rivers and their riverine vegetation. The objective of this work is to integrate dendrogeomorphological techniques to the mapping and modeling of the recent distribution of vegetation of the riverine landscape, as an indicator of the local effect of climate change. The hydrological regime and the evolution of riparian vegetation at the confluence of the Cuyín Manzano and Traful Rivers were synchronized using the data obtained from 34 samples of plots of 6x6 meters.
