Title: Influence of pocket gopher mounds on a Texas coastal prairie
Journal: Oecologia
Authors: S. R. Spencer, G. N. Cameron, B. D. Eshelman, L. C. Cooper, and L. R. Williams
Date: 1985
Summary: Spencer et al. assessed the impacts of pocket gophers (Geomys attwateri) on both burned and unburned grasslands of coastal Texas. Results suggested gopher mounds had a positive effect on vegetation surrounding them in the burned area since samples taken around mounds yielded more dicot biomass than random samples. Thus, while the overall effect of burning was to reduce dicot biomass, gopher mounds appeared to ameliorate this effect since dicot biomass was significantly greater around mounds in the burned area. New mounds in this study were deficient in phosphorus, nitra ...
