Spanish term
(formas de relieve) importadoras y exportadoras
Spanish to English
Science
Environment & Ecology
This is the context of a tree plantation where some species survive better where there is "importing relief" and some where there is "exporting relief".
Thanks for your help.

accumulative and distributive (relief topologies)
"Relief" In geological terms refers to the lie of the land or topology. The query text appears to classify the areas described in terms of whether they are concave and thus accumulate nutrients etc, or convex, where the nutrients are more susceptible to being washed away by rain, etc. I'm calling the latter distributive... there may be another term... for example "dissipative"...

Aaargh! Sorrry, my confidence level should be the lowest possible because I'm basically just surmising here… (= guessing).

BTW, when I said topology perhaps I meant topography (the configuration of a surface including its relief ...)... I'm not a specialist in geo translations, although I have done a few.

So you're a geologist? That's a relief... :-)

(landforms) run on and runoff
I think exportador and importador might refer to runoff and run-on.
Run-on is an important process in the hydrological and ecohydrological behaviour of semi-arid ecosystems. Tiger bush is an example of a vegetation community that develops a patterned structure in response to, in part, the generation of runoff and run-on.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-on
Se identificaron 3 tipos de dinámicas hidrológicas en las laderas restauradas, que tienen que ver con el volumen de escorrentía superficial circulante por ellas como consecuencia de la entrada externa de escorrentía (runon) procedente de la cabecera.
Ladera con volumen intermedio de escorrentía con geoformas exportadoras e importadoras

In such conditions, soil water storage is very low because runoff exceeds run-on and lichens can out-compete annual plants.

I've seen indented landscapes, though that's not quite the same as 'formas de relieve'.

Similarly, beaver dams can alter the flow regime of streams, potentially buffering flood waves and altering valley morphology, which in turn influences flood hydraulics and possibly riparian vegetation. This raises some interesting questions: can beavers “heal” channels that have been artificially straightened Could the introduction of beavers essentially “capture” a significant fraction of spring runoff in valleys, releasing it slowly and thereby partly compensating for earlier snow melt? Is there a threshold crossed such that when a channel is straightened, beavers are no longer able to thrive – either because a straightened channel affords few potential dam sites, or because of loss of riparian forest due to water-table lowering, or both?

: Great work! I can't really say this is correct, but it certainly sounds very convincing to me, given the context.

Robert, thank you! It's the nearest I could find but I think it fits the context.

b) En Aurora el Canal Principal posee contenidos de humedad significativamente
más elevados que las laderas. En éstas, no existen diferencias significativas entre
las geoformas importadoras (vaguadas) y exportadoras (divisorias).

Perhaps something along the lines of 'geological formations'?

Note from asker:
Thanks, definitely the right context - I'm thinking concave/convex landforms. I'll follow your suggestion and see where it leads. :-) |
