Limestone and barrel cactus

Limestone and barrel cactus
Barrel cacti improbably perched on dip slopes defined by bedding planes in Paleozoic limestone. The dark green shrub in the foreground is creosote bush. Arrow Canyon, southern Nevada.

Interesting how the geology interacts with the vegetation (maybe that should be the other way around).

Thanks, everyone! Yeah, there's a whole subspeciality (or -ties) dealing with how the rock and soil substrate controls the plant life it supports. Sometimes you can even map the bedrock geology by the vegetative cover!
