Title: Prosopis glandulosa growth: Influence of nutrients and simulated grazing of Bouteloua curtipendula: Journal: Ecology; Authors: O. W. Van Auken, and K. J. Bush; Date: 1989; Summary: Van Auken and Bush determined the effects of inter-plant and resource competition on the growth of Prosopis glandulosa, when this shrub was grown in experimental plots with clipped or unclipped Bouteloua curtipendula grass plants. Clipping reduced the biomass of B. curtipendula and increased the biomass of P. glandulosa, suggesting that grazing may enhance the growth and encroachment of shrub species, such as Prosopis glandulosa, in grass-dominated plant communities. The addition of fertilizer to the soil enh ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article
