Animals and Waterboxx

Water in dry areas attracts life. During the Groasis waterboxx experiments in 2010 we have found:

App. 2% of all the planted saplings and seeds eaten by ants.
App. 1% of all the planted saplings and seeds eaten by mice.
App. 0,2% of all the planted saplings and seeds eaten by gophers.
App. 30% of all the installed boxes has frogs or toads below them after 2 months.
In one experiment (Whitewater Preserve California) we had 3 boxes destroyed by a black bear (Ursidae). After the destruction we did nothing and no more boxes were touched.
The soil under more than 90% of the boxes is drained by earthworms within a month after installing.
Under all the boxes the soil changes rapidly into a soft soil caused by microbes and bacteria.
