Military Training on Semi-Arid Rangeland:

Assessment of potential training impacts on dominant soil types at Holloman Air Force Base

DUNE MARGIN TREATMENT

Please choose the type of training to be performed on Dune Margin soil types.


Dune margin-type sites feature nearly 100% gypsum soil and are situated less than 200 m from active sand dunes. These sites have normally experienced little in the way of previous anthropogenic disturbance. Compared to other site types, Dune margin-type sites are more sensitive to all types of disturbance. Training should be done cautiously with relatively long periods of time between repeated disturbances.
