Section I - The natural history of the plant diversity in the Chihuahuan desert -- Chapter 1 - Vegetation and species richness in the Chihuahuan Desert -- Chapter 2 - Biogeography and phylogeography of the plants of Chihuahuan Desert -- Chapter 3 - The Chihuahuan Desert, climate change and paleovegetation during the mid-Holocene and Last Maximum Glacial -- Chapter 4 - Plants in the desert: diversity and life-forms -- Section II - Cuatro Cienegas Basin, a refugia within the Chihuahuan desert -- Chapter 5 - Reproductive biology of Grusonia bradtiana (Cactaceae) from the Chihuahuan desert -- Chapter 6 - How did Fouquieria come to the Chihuahuan Desert? -- Chapter 7 - Between Aridity and Opulence: Resources of the Mexican Desert -- Chapter 8 - Ecological importance of Bajadas in the Cuatrocienegas region: a floristic diversity and vegetation analysis -- Chapter 9 - Gypsophilous species of Cuatro Cienegas -- Chapter 10 - The ages of life: the changing forms and the history of Coryphantha werdermanni throughout its development -- Chapter 11 - Cuatrocienegas: a refugee for the living rock cactus, Ariocarpus fissuratus -- Chapter 12 - Reproductive biology and conservation of the living rock Ariocarpus fissuratus -- Chapter 13 - Effect of reproductive modes on the population dynamics of an endemic cactus from Cuatro Cienegas -- Chapter 14 - Conservation status, germination and establishment of the divine cactus, Lophophora williamsii (Lem. ex Salm-Dyck) J. M. Coult., at Cuatrocienegas -- Chapter 15 - Genetic and ecological characterization of Arundo donax and Phragmites australis in the Cuatro Cienegas Valley -- Section III - Perturbation caused by the overexploitation of the aquifer, conservation and management -- Chapter 16 - Disturbance and the formation and colonization of new habitats in the terminal part of the Churince System -- Chapter 17 - Riparian species and habitats in a semiarid disturbed zone: an unlikely movable feast in the Churince System -- Chapter 18 - Morphological variations of Samolus ebracteatus var. coahuilensis in different microenvironments in the Churince System, in the Cuatrocienegas Basin, Coahuila -- Chapter 19 - Germination of riparian species in natural and experimental conditions -- Chapter 20 - Ecological dynamism of disturbance-induced micro environments in the Churince System, Cuatro Cienegas, using time series network analyses.

Environmental and specific diversity in the Chihuahuan desert in general, and in the Cuatro Cienegas Basin in particular, has long been recognized as outstanding. This book provides a global ecological overview, together with in-depth studies of specific processes. The Chihuahuan desert is the warmest in North America, and has a complex geologic, climatic and biogeographical history, which affects today's distribution of vegetation and plants and generates complex phylogeographic patterns. The high number of endemic species reflects this complex set of traits. The modern distribution of environments, including aquatic and subaquatic systems, riparian environments, gypsum dunes and gypsum-rich soils, low levels of phosphorous and organic matter, and high salinity combined with an extreme climate call for a range of adaptations. Plants are distributed in a patchy pattern based on punctual variations, and many of them respond to different resources and conditions with considerable morphological plasticity. In terms of physiological, morphological and ecological variability, cacti were identified as the most important group in specific environments like bajadas, characterized by high diversity values, while gypsophytes and gypsovagues of different phylogenies, including species with restricted distribution and endemics.
