| Abstract | The hypothesis that termite activity could be used to enhance infiltration capacity in degraded rangelands was tested at the Jomada Experimental Range by measuring infiltration rates at a variety of tensions beneath organic (cattle dung patches) and artificial (styrofoam) baits placed in highly impacted areas on two soils. There was no treatment effect on near-equilibrium infiltration rates into tlr.' sandy loam under 120mm and 40mm of tension (approximate pore equivalent). |
