	abstract = {At three locations in the Chihuahuan Desert, domestic livestock-induced disturbance gradients extend outward from watering points. Soil is more compacted but less stable near the watering points. Plant species richness changes little along the gradient, but species diversity and plant biomass does increase dramaatically with distance from the watering point.},
