## Abstract We compared the effects of young highโdensity plantations of three native trees (legumes: __Albizia lebbeck__, __A. procera__ and a nonโlegume: __Tectona grandis__) and one fast growing woody grass species (__Dendrocalamus strictus__) on carbon and nutrients stock and their accretion ra
Friction threshold velocities (FTVs) were determined for biological soil crusts in dierent stages of recovery. Particles on the surface of crusts that had been relatively undisturbed for at least 20 years were found to have signiยฎcantly higher FTVs than those that had been disturbed 5, 10 or 1 years
