| Site Name: | La Ciguena Santa Fe |
| Description: | The pastures are composed mainly by cereal grains, a group of vegetables whose paleontological evidence exhibits clearly its presence since the middle of the Tertiary period. Towards the Miocene (20 million years) herbaceous ecosystems became more dominant and formed pasture. This is the first Carbon Flux Measurement Tower to be installed in Argentina, and it will be the most southern one (austral) of the world. Furthermore, the installation of a second tower in the “Cuña Boscosa” (in the Santa Fe Province) is expected. Natural tempered pasture. Periodic abundant conditions, floods or water saturation. These pastures grow on different soil types: heavy clay, gredas -> clay loam / clay pits, sand, etc., and they are found in fresh water and brackish water systems. This region of exclusive characteristics is located in the Department of Vera, Province of Santa Fe, Argentina. This is an area with drainage problems and subject to variations of flood and drought. |
