Buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare) land conversion and productivity in the plains of Sonora, Mexico
Bufflelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare syn. Cenchrus ciliaris) is an African grass that has been widely introduced in subtropical arid regions of the world to improve rangelands for cattle production. However, it can have a negative effect on the diversity of native plant communities. Buffelgrass was introduced to Sonora, Mexico in the 1970s as a means to bolster the cattle industry. ‘‘Desmonte,’’ th...

متن کاملMapping Presence and Predicting Phenological Status of Invasive Buffelgrass in Southern Arizona Using MODIS, Climate and Citizen Science Observation Data
The increasing spread and abundance of an invasive perennial grass, buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare), represents a critical threat to the native vegetation communities of the Sonoran desert in southern Arizona, USA, where buffelgrass eradication is a high priority for resource managers. Herbicidal treatment of buffelgrass is most effective when the vegetation is actively growing, but the remote...
متن کاملEvaluation of 24 Local Seed Sources of Buffelgrass for Persistence and Forage Yield in the Riyadh Area
Naturalized populations of buffelgrass (Cencchrus ciliaris L.) grow wild in some range areas and around farms in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, no attempt was made to study forage yield potential of these populations for use in range improvement or as a forage crop with low water requirement. This study was conducted to evaluate 24 seed sources collected from different places in the Riya...
متن کاملSeed mass, seedling size and neotropical tree seedling establishment
1 We examined amongand within-species effects of seed mass for seedling establishment from seed to 5 years of age in a field experiment at Paracou, French Guiana. 2 Six seeds of each of eight species were weighed and planted into each of 120 plots (1 m 2 ) throughout closed-canopy forest along 12 100-m transects in 1998. 3 We described the microhabitat of each planting site using principal comp...
