Abstract
The distribution of different types of salts and the dynamic processes leading to their distribution in a playa saltlake of 3x2 Km wide, were drawn using statistics and geostatistics of the data obtained by augering the soil at different depths, following a regular square grid sampling scheme. The lake is now colonised by Halophytes which density corresponds inversely with the salinity gradient, although the main surface of the lake remains bare.
