RESULTS

Extractable soil N (May 2001) shows accumulation of N during the dormant season. Higher NO3 in H sites shows potential for N losses. Shown are the mean and standard error in each site use /soil category.
 
Greater clay content in L compared to H sites is possibly due to deposition from ridgetop roads.
 
Remnant and active trails and roads, and gullies, were frequently encountered over the 32 sites.
 
 
Ground layer species richness differs among landuse/soil texture categories (p=0.0001) and is higher in clayey sites (HC) than in sandy sites.
