The Effects of Prescribed Burning on Soil Water Infiltration Rates and Other Select Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in East Texas
… focused on whether prescribed burning affects soil physical and chemical properties, especially water infiltration, in Western Gulf Coast forests. Soil water infiltration rates were measured 1) pre-burn (before the fire), 2) post-burn (one month after the fire), and 3) at vegetation green-up …

The costs and benefits of hosting colonial sociable weaver nests for arid zone savanna trees
The savanna ecosystem is water and, in some instances, nutrient-limited, creating competition among species. Species, however, coexist in this ecosystem through processing like facilitation acting together with competition. Facilitation is an ecological interaction in which one species enhances the …
