Puna wetlands and salars are unique extreme environments since they are located in high altitude saline deserts, largely influenced by volcanic activity. UV radiation, arsenic content, high salinity, and low dissolved oxygen content, together with extreme daily temperature fluctuations and oligotrophic conditions comprise an environment that recreates the early Earth and even extraterrestrial conditions.
