  • This paper aims to calculate water balance of an entire tiger bush unit, including bare and vegetated areas, to validate a rain redistribution hypothesis. They monitored measurements of runoff and soil moisture content in each zone composing a tiger
  • topography. The study was conducted in the Mapimi Biosphere Reserve (Chihuahuan desert, Mexico). The transect crossed a bare zone and the pioneer, central and senescence zones of a stripe. Rainfall simulations were then used to analyse the relationship
  • and the underlying soil chemical properties; that bare areas have a relatively larger soluble salt concentration compared to the vegetated areas. A model that explains this distribution, and incorporates vegetation, microtopographic and infiltration differences
  • . Rainfall simulations experiments were carried out to determine runoff and infiltration characteristics of the bare and vegetated zones. The largest amount of redistribution during these events is found for areas having an intermediate rainfall regime
