Relationships between landforms, soils and vegetation in the River Plate coastal plain, Argentina

The River Plate coastal plain is a 160-km-long, 3-10-km-wide strip, located to <5ma.s.l. on the right bank of the estuary. It is formed by sediments and landforms generated by the littoral transport and marine ingressions and regressions during the Holocene. The coastal plain faces heavy pressure...
