Rainfall of Northern Mexico
Shreve F. 1944. Rainfall of Northern Mexico. Ecology. 25(1):105-111
In the course of an investigation of the desert areas of northern Mexico it has been necessary to give attention to the adjacent plant formations, which commonly have some ecological relationships to the desert. In the study of the physical conditions it is almost obligatory that the whole of northern Mexico be taken under consideration. This is particularly true of the precipitation, which is primarily controlled by broadly operative factors, and does not always stand in close correlation with the vegetation. By 'northern Mexico' is here understood the eleven northernmost states of the republic, comprising all of it that lies north of the Tropic of Cancer, and embracing about half the country.
