| Abstract | Mesquite shrubs in long-established plots registered increases in numbers and cover for most observation periods, in spite of drought, herbicide treatment and protection from grazing. The few decreases noted seem to be accounted for by drought and herbicide. Changes in the biotic and physical environment are incorporated into a model that shows their respective roles in effecting the conversion from grass- to shrub-dominated ecosystems. |
