cardonal

Spanish to English Science Environment & Ecology Biodiversity
La experiencia gozosa de las diversidades pasa del cuerpo desnudo y a veces escondido en la cascada, al uso de la lana de las ovejas del páramo, ruanosa, tan acogedora como una hamaca de colores vivos en medio del cardonal ocre y verde del desierto. La diversidad nos reta y nos provoca, nos inspira, nos llena de sentido y es en los sabores, los lugares, los ritos, las reliquias, las celebraciones y las canciones donde se expresa e invita a expandirnos

Cardonal = plot of land with abundant cactus?

Don't know where your text is from, but I'm guessing the Americas. So from my research I'm imagining a desert location with lots of cactus

agree Jennifer Levey : Not a 'plot' as such, rather a vast expanse of the desert where the cactus known in English as 'cardon' (Pachycereus pringlei) is the predominant species.
