Road Recontouring - Lloyd et.al. Flashcards
1
Q
What is the Big Picture of Road recontouring?
A
Restoration leads to recovery
2
Q
What are hypotheses?
A
Bulk density
Soil organic matter
Total carbon and nitrogen
3
Q
What are the 4 types of areas measured?
A
Abondoned
Recontoured in last year
Recontoured 10 years ago
Never Roaded
4
Q
What is bulk density?
A
How packed the soil is, roots deeper, water filters more nutrients in if less dense.
5
Q
What is the discussion?
A
Because of recontouring we get faster recovery as more water into soil means less run off and soil erosion. A decrease in nitrogen levels leads to less eutrophication
6
Q
What post-hoc tests may be used in this study?
A
Tukey
