| Abstract | Herbaceous and shrubby vegetation on New Mexico State University College Ranch was studied to find out changes resulting from herbicidal control of honey mesquite (Prosopis juliflora var. glandulosa). The soil of the study area belongs to Berino-Dona Ana Association. Density of all species, aerial cover of shrubs, and basal cover of herbaceous species were measured in summers of 1985 and 1986. Density and basal cover of cool season annual forbs were recorded in spring 1986. Vegetational patterns around honey mesquite shrubs were also studied and light intensity measured in different zones, beneath and outside the mesquite canopy. |
