- Library Collection RecordNatal grass (Melinis repens) is an invasive species which displaces native grasses. Such invasion is extended to the center-south region of the state of Chihuahua. The objective of this study was to…Publication Date 2016
- Library Collection RecordThe chlorophyll concentration is an indicator of the sunlight and nutrients assimilator system efficiency. Thus, it can be used to estimate a plant forage potential. Nowadays, there are portable…Publication Date 2016
- Library Collection RecordThe bobwhites (Colinus) consist of 3 grassland-associated, allopatric species of New World quails: the northern bobwhite (C. virginianus) ranges from the eastern US to Guatemala; the black-throated…Publication Date 2016
- Library Collection RecordMany invasive species of the southern and central Great Plains are grasses established to reduce soil erosion and increase hay and forage production on marginal or deteriorated grasslands. Recent…Publication Date 2016
- Library Collection RecordIn the late 1800s, there were believed to be 1,500 desert bighorn (Ovis canadensis mexicana) roaming throughout 16 mountain ranges in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas. However, Texas lost all of its…Publication Date 2016
