El paisaje de lomadas arenosas (Corrientes, Argentina) desde el Pleistoceno superior a la actualidad by Félix Ignacio Contreras, Silvina Andrea Contreras, Cecilia Romina Méndez, Mariana Noemí Baruzzo, Elsie Araseli Ojeda, Ivana Evelin Kovalsky

“…Este trabajo tiene por objetivo dar a conocer cómo ha evolucionado la región de lomadas arenosas, desde su origen hasta la actualidad, estableciendo comparaciones entre las reconstrucciones ambientales de los estudios paleontológicos de la región y las observadas hoy en día mediante imágenes satelitales y posteriores visitas a campo, la aplicación de análisis espaciales mediante el uso de los sistemas de información geográfica y el conocimiento de la distribución de lagunas ubicadas sobre las mismas, ya que constituyen el principal elemento natural del paisaje. Los resultados demostraron la importancia de la actividad fluvial en las características de los distintos ambientes de las lomadas y cómo fueron cambiando en el pasado reciente de la región, llegando con características similares a las actuales para el Pleistoceno, principalmente por disponibilidad de agua y la distribución de la vegetación. …”
