The Pampas are mentioned by Borges in El Sur -abe

[edit] Coverage

I'm not sure Pampa refers to such an area is the article states right now:

"are the fertile lowlands mostly of Brazil that extend across c. 900,000 km² between latitudes 28°-39°S and longitudes 50°-65°W. This area encompasses the southernmost part of Brazil, the whole of Uruguay and the central-eastern part of Argentina."

According to the Britannica:

"Pampas, the: vast plain extending westward across central Argentina from the Atlantic coast to the Andean foothills, bounded by the Gran Chaco (north) and Patagonia (south)."

I have to agree with Britannica's definition, but I'm not sure which one is correct.

[edit] Description: trees

Somebody wrote: Frequent fires ensure that only small plants such as grasses flourish and trees are exceptional. Exceptional? Shouldn't it say rare or not infrequent or some such? Alexf(t/c) 12:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
