Verification of the performance of the Multi-Piezometer Array System for the measurement of pore pressures in shallow marine sediments
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The Multi-Piezometer Array System (MPAS) was constructed and delivered for use to Texas A&M University in the fall of 1996. The MPAS is a highly sophisticated measurement system designed to measure changes in in situ pore ...
Summer fire impacts and isotopic assessment of vegetation dynamics in Texas coastal Quercus virginiana communities
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Woody plants have increased in abundance in many grasslands and savannas worldwide. Anecdotal evidence suggests that Quercus virginiana (live oak) has increased in the Gulf Coastal Prairies of Texas since European man ...
A functional interpretation of herbivory resistance in mesic grasslands
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Herbivore tolerance among species differed from the general assumption of greater tolerance in late-seral dominants and varied with defoliation intensity. Tolerance was greatest in two of the three species designated as ...
