Краткое описание природной окружающей среды в месте применения
The soil of the Province of Santiago del Estero is undergoing a calcification process, evidenced by the formation of calcium carbonate on the soil profile. This feature determines the formation of a barren plain or desert vegetation, under semiarid climate conditions. Within Salado and Dulce rivers fluvial systems a variety of soils can be observed, ranging from mineral soils to hydro morphine soils, with a high salt and alkali ratio|
The Province of Santiago del Estero looks like an expanded saltpetrous plain, only interrupted by rivers flowing diagonally from Northwest to Southeast (Salí-Dulce river and Salado river, different both in their flow and in their use possibilities) and by elevations located on the South, West and Northwest margins.|
Climate in Santiago del Estero is hot and equivalent to that in subtropical regions. The annual average temperature is 21.5 ºC, with an absolute maximum summer temperature of up to 47º C, and an absolute minimum winter temperature of -5 ºC. Two seasons can be distinguished: the rainy season, from October to March, and the dry season, from April to September. During the year, precipitation range from 750 mm to 600 mm, with an annual average of 695 mm.|
