SOIL-GEOMORPHIC RELATIONSHIPS IN A NORTHEASTERN PATAGONIAN TIDAL SALT MARSH, PENINSULA VALDÉS, ARGENTINA by Ileana Ríos, Pablo José Bouza, Alejandro Bortolus, Yanina Idaszkin, Nicolás Scivetti

“…Soils corresponding to Sarcocornia perennis and Limonium brasiliense vegetation units were classified as Sodic Hydraquents, which were associated with tidal flats between Holocene beaches-ridges systems. On the other hand, the soil corresponding to the Spartina alterniflora vegetation unit was classified as Haplic Sulfaquents related to salt marsh lower levels, where waterlogging soil conditions favor the sulfidic materials formation. …”
