Topographic thresholds for plant colonization on semi-arid eroded slopes.

- Abstract
The article presents the study on the mechanisms that regulate plant colonization of semi-arid degraded areas in east Spain. The study showed that the slope angle threshold for plant colonization has decreased from north to south, suggesting that variations in slope aspect classes in the slope angle threshold were due to differences in the capacity of the plants to colonize. Moreover, the study demonstrated the potential role of soil erosion for the establishment of the plants.
