Effects of shrub encroachment and removal on South Texas coastal prairie flora

Watson, Parker Alex, Effects of shrub encroachment and removal on South Texas coastal prairie flora. Master of Science, December, 2015. 60 pages, 14 tables, 11 figures, 47 references, 5 appendices. Native-invasive honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) and huisache (Acacia farnesiana) are aggressively encroaching onto South Texas coastal prairies, outcompeting Gulf cordgrass (Spartina spartinae) and associated prairie vegetation with potential legacy effects on the landscape. To measure conditions in the presence of shrubs, data loggers were installed for 16 mos in shrub understories and grass cover to monitor light, soil and air temperatures. Vegetation and canopy surveys were also conducted to evaluate grass cover in the presence shrubs. Data show differences between shrub understory and grass cover maximum temperatures, and that higher shrub cover generally leads to lower grass cover. Regrowth of Gulf cordgrass in small, medium and large bare patches after shrub removal via mechanical, prescribed fire and herbicide treatments used singly or combined was also examined. Results indicate all three treatments used together are most effective for reducing shrub resiliency and the amount of time needed for natural prairie revegetation

How Does the Amount of Spending on Coaches\u27 Salaries and Recruiting Budgets Affect Win Percentage in College Football?

College football has become much more than a sport for the athletes who play it and entertainment for the fans who watch it. In college football, especially for Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools, winning has become a way to make money. However, in order to make money, people must spend money. In a college football program money is spent on a multitude of things. This study focuses on two important factors, coaches\u27 salaries and recruiting budgets. Specifically, this study looked to find out how the amount of spending on coaches\u27 salaries and recruiting budgets affected win percentage in college football. Correlational tests, including a t-test and Pearson Correlation, helped determine if spending more money on coaches\u27 salaries and recruiting budgets helps schools win more games. The results indicated that in 2010 both coaches\u27 salaries and recruiting budgets were significant contributing factors in regards to winning percentage, but in 2011 only coaches\u27 salaries was significant. The possible reasons for these differences and the implications this study could have on college football are presented in the data and analysis below
