We analysed vegetation patterns in relation to geomorphology in subantarctic Andean tundra (Tierra del Fuego, southern Argentina). Habitat variation associated with geomorphology played a major role in structuring vegetation. On coarse-grained debris of talus cones, the vegetation is dominated by th...
