| Results. Each tabular value is based on the average of three pairs of values ("upslope" and "downslope;" see text) from four replicated plots. Estimated USGA (76-cm) Stimpmeter distances were calculated by a transformation from the value for the 19-cm Stimpmeters which we used. This is explained in the full report, Busey, P. and S. E.
