    project was to sustain a more constant source of water for plants. A circuit with a temperature detector was intentionally designed that recognizes any rise of soil temperature. The thermistor‚ temperature detector‚ is a special type of resistor whose resistance varies significantly with the temperature. As the temperature of the soil rises‚ the thermal device changes its internal resistance‚ saturating the bipolar junction transistors‚ permitting the current to flow‚ triggering the relay‚ and

    34o C. Although it is likely to perform better on alkaline soils (NAS 1983)‚ there are many examples of it growing well on acid soils. Correlation and multiple regression analysis show that topsoil depth is the most important indicator of site quality for falcataria (Dalmacio 1987). The most productive sites had at least 19-26 cm of well drained topsoil with at least 3-8% organic matter and an exchangeable potassium of 0.36 meq/100 g of soil. ESTABLISHMENT.-

    smaller parts in surrounding states. Covering thousands of square kilometers‚ the ecosystems can range from 100 meters below sea level up to 2000 meters above sea level. The biophysical interactions within these ecosystems such as earth movements‚ soil formation‚ weather and climate lead to very diverse environments‚ along with the many biotic factors. With the rapidly increasing impacts of human uses‚ pollution and urban sprawl the Mojave Desert is consistently becoming more damaged‚ altered and

Wetland soils‚ also known as hydric soils‚ are shaped by water. These soils are saturated or even submerged all or part of the year. Hydric soils vary depending on the composition of the soil and water in the area and therefore‚ wetlands vary greatly throughout the world. Wetlands occur in all ecological regions throughout
