Spanish term or phrase: área caracterizada por su morfología aluvional (terreno fangoso)
Hola a todos:

Soy Adela, y estoy traduciendo una propuesta de cooperación técnica en materia de transporte entre el Perú y Canadá. Dentro del acápite 4.3. aparece la frase señalada anteriormente, cuya traducción me ha generado dudas.

Les doy el contexto para una mejor aclaración.

Versión origen:

Una de las zonas de menor integración al mercado nacional es la zona amazónica, debido a las dificultades de construir y mantener carreteras en un área caracterizada por su morfología aluvional, factor que tiene consecuencias en la elasticidad de los factores y sobre el ambiente.

Propuesta de traducción:

One of the least accessible areas to the domestic market is the Amazon jungle due to the difficulty of constructing and upgrading highways on a muddy soil, which negatively affects the behavior of the transportation flow and the environment.

Qué les parece mi propuesta???

Gracias.

area characterized by its alluvial morphology
Explanation:
alluvial morphology is fine -- don't say muddy! They are not always muddy.
Also, word order (w/o): "areas least accessible to domestic markets'. And 'build' a highway rather than 'construct'.

No idea what 'terreno fangoso' means.

This unfortunately needs work: "factor que tiene consecuencias en la elasticidad de los factores y sobre el ambiente."
