Establishing soil and surficial geologic habitat criteria for presumed gypsophiles - The example of Eriogonum corymbosum var. nilesii, Mojave Desert, U.S.A.
The AA. use soil profile data and high resolution (1:3000 scale) surficial geologic maps to identify likely edaphic controls of a rare shrub endemic to the Mojave Desert, E. corymbosum var. nilesii (LVB) habitat, potential habitat, and non-habitat
whether carbonate-rich habitats represent ideal conditions or refugia. This study underscores the important merits of surficial geologic mapping and soil morphological description for ecological research, conservation, restoration, and land management
