South America has contrasting climatic regimes, with conditions from the equatorial hot and humid to extremely dry or cold, to even tropical or subtropical conditions. This vast climatic range is shown in Figs. IV.20, IV.21, IV.22 and IV.23, displaying average yearly temperature regimes, rainfall distribution, annual water deficiency and an annual soil moisture index, the last two established by a water balance method according to Thornthwaite and Mather (1955), and using software developed by Brunini and Caputi (2001). © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
