Abstract This study was conducted in the Monte Austral Neuquino (MAN), Provincia de Neuquén, Argentina (39°20’ S; 69°19’ W). Vegetation is distributed at the site as vegetation patches. There are two contrasting sites on the soil of these patches: location 1, under the canopy of major perennial grasses and shrubs, and location 2, which includes the vegetation uncovered interspaces between the patches. The hypothesis of this work was that hydraulic lift is greater under than between the vegetation patches. Thermocouple psychrometers were placed under the shrubs and in the interspaces in each of two vegetation patches, and water potential measurements were… More >
