Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Dust accumulation decreased rapidly with distance from its source.
- Association At Windarling Range, the highest dust load had no significant impact on Tetratheca paynterae paynterae over 10 years compared with less dusty sites.
- Association Distance from dust source was not significantly related to floristic composition on Barrow Island over 5 years.
- Association The probability of plants declining in health was not apparently related to dust load.
- Intervention effect Plant health showed no clear trend after road paving removed the dust source.
- Association Plant health trends were likely more influenced by preceding five-month rainfall than dust load.
