Description: "Objectives of this study are:℗ 1) to characterize different types of soil surfaces of Aridisols, 2) to evaluate methods to increase vegetative cover and the amount of coppice dune through revegetation techniques, and 3) to determine the effects of off-road vehicle traffic on infiltration and sediment production of soils with gravel-mulched or paved vesicular crusted surface horizons. ... This completion report℗presents results for the period 1974-1976"--Page 7.
