Body

The tendency of water to infiltrate (infiltrability) determines the productivity of rangelands. However, how patterns of infiltrability change in response to gradients of disturbance remains largely unexplored. To address this, we examined changes in the pattern of infiltrability across a disturbance gradient in a semi–arid Australian woodland.We measured the spatial distribution of infiltrability in relation to distance from the canopy of trees and shrubs at long ungrazed sites to ploughed and grazed sites. ...
