| Abstract | Man's activity has a tremendous impact on the environment. Often a single goal in land treatment results in many subtle effects that are not readily discernible until some time later, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Soil ripping, for instance, a form of deep plowing to break up soil, effectively reduces surface runoff and erosion from semi-arid watersheds (Hickey and Dortignac, 1964). But what is the effect of this treatment on the vegetation growing on treated areas? The effect of soil ripping on the vegetation of one large area was investigated over a period of 15 years. |
