The wettest waste was placed directly in front of the flame to ensure the best possibility of destruction, which was also normal practice.
That is, the chance of a period as dry or as wet as the driest or wettest eight out of 32 such periods.
Even in the wettest of the five villages (village 9) yields exceed 4 t ha-1 only exceptionally.
In the wettest zone of the gradient, 57% of the species are non-dormant, and the proportion only declines to 53% in the driest zone.
This did not seem to follow a discernible pattern although in 1995, the wettest year, prevalence was the lowest.
Average annual rainfall was 63 cm, with the driest community receiving 28 cm/year and the wettest 120 cm/year.
There was a substantial difference (215 mm) between the wettest (1999) and driest (2002) cropping season's rainfall.
The remaining stations showed lower reproduction rates during the wettest year (20-40% in 1994).
