  abstract: A study was undertaken in southern Texas to (1) evaluate two
  abstract: remote sensing techniques (ground-penetrating radar [GPR] and
  abstract: electromagnetic induction [EMI] as tools for detection of
  abstract: diagnostic subsurface features, (2) assess the uses of EMI
  abstract: for mapping subsoil heterogeneity, (3) document spatial
  abstract: changes in woody landscape elements form 1941 to 1990 and
  abstract: determine soil properties that might explain variation in
  abstract: plant community dynamics, and (4) compare development and
  abstract: dynamics of landscape vegetation components for the Mesquite
  abstract: Brushiand Preserve (NMP) with the La Copita Research Area
  abstract: (LCRA). GPR was not effective in delineating differences in
  abstract: soils and correlations between EMI readings and soil
  abstract: properties were low or non-significant. Even so, results
  abstract: suggest EMI can be useful for general research, survey and
  abstract: exploration applications. Landscape elements classified as
  abstract: woodlands and groves increased in area (1.0 and 1.30/o/y from
  abstract: 1941-1969 vs. 0. I to 0.3%/y from 1969-1990) on the LCRA.
  abstract: Upslope migration of woodland margins was dynamic in some
  abstract: areas but static in others. 'Soil properties were comparable
  abstract: across woodland-savanna boundaries. However, differences in
  abstract: soil conductivity along transacts spanning static and dynamic
  abstract: boundaries suggest edaphic factors may account for
  abstract: differences in boundary behavior. Expansion of landscape
  abstract: elements classified as groves was variable and it is proposed
  abstract: that patterns of grove expansion are a function of (a) the
  abstract: size and shape of coarse-textured inclusion which occur in an
  abstract: otherwise continuous argillic horizon and (b) time of
  abstract: habitation of these inclusion by woody plants. A net
  abstract: increase in areal cover in vegetation classified as woodlands
  abstract: (37 vs. 38%) and groves (128 vs. 5%) on the LRCA and the
  abstract: MBP. Densities of landscape elements classified as small
  abstract: shrub clusters and individual shrubs were more variable on
  abstract: the MBP than on the LCRA, and no consistent trends were
  abstract: observed. Grove size increased on the LCRA (362 M2 in 1941
  abstract: to 825 M2 in 1990), and did not change on the MBP. The MBP
  abstract: appears to be farther along the process of succession from
  abstract: grassland to woodland than the LCRA. This may reflect site
  abstract: specific differences in historical grazing practices or in
  abstract: topoedaphic constraints.
