Herbaceous Vegetation Diversity And Abundance Beneath Honey Mesquite (Prosopis Glandulosa) In The South Texas PLains

摘要

Honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) is the dominant woody species on most rangelands in southern Texas, yet there is little data on how P. Glandulosa influences the herbaceous plant community. Herbaceous vegetation cover, density and frequency were estimated under P. Glandulosa and adjoining interspace on rangeland sites with varying degrees of woody plant cover utilizing 20 by 50 cm quadrats.
