Suppression of fire since settlement had allowed a thick layer of litter to accumulate, and the foreign grasses cope better with this than do the natives.
Long-term settlement data of a thick soft clay deposit improved by vertical drains frequently shows different field settlement behaviors from laboratory-driven predictions by conventional theories due to the variability and uncertainty of the soil properties, modeling simplifications, and types of prediction methods.
In spring, the unpaved streets were churned into thick mud and in summer the settlement reeked of human effluent and was plagued by flies and mosquitoes.
