| Comments: | How persistently vegetation works to prevent erosion is exemplified by this clump of dead sacaton whose roots still bind together the pedestal of soil. The run-off from the bare, baked soil is destructively rapid. (Rio Grande Bulletin). Close up of soil pyramid formed by dead root crown and roots of Sacaton. Taken on Vaughn Lamy rd. about 5 mi. S.W. of Lamy. |
