	abstract = {     The grazing value of a large portion of the desert grassland in southwestern United States has been greatly reduced during the last 100 to 150 years by the invasion of undesirable shrubs.  Although much of the present area is now lightly infested, infestation does not have to be heavy before range productivity is seriously damaged.  As the economic welfare of the Southwest depends in large measure upon its grazing and soil resources, investigations to determine the extent of shrub invasion, rate of range deterioration, and possible reasons for this retrogression in plant cover are important.  In this study, records of vegetational changes, environmental conditions, and forage utilization were compiled and analyzed in an attempt to determine the extent of shrub invasion on a southern New Mexico semidesert grassland range over a thirty-year period.},
