Abstract:
... Plant communities change during the process of converting bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon [L.] Pers.) pasture monocultures to diverse native grasslands. Our hypothesis was that suppression of bermudagrass and grazing of seeded post-native grassland affected composition of arthropod communities in small plots. Our objectives were to use sweep nets and pitfall traps to collect insects and study their ...

Abstract:
... Irrigation of farmlands in xeric areas can increase soil salinity, reducing their suitability for food and fiber crops. One way to repurpose these lands is to convert them for use in grazing. To choose the best forage species, it is important to understand the impact of soil salinity on the growth and nutritional quality of potential forage grasses. Here, we grew four perennial C₄ grasses: blue gr ...

Abstract:
... Turfgrass establishment on the Texas High Plains is often compromised by wind desiccation, high temperatures, and reduced water inputs. Application of cotton gin trash at seeding may help increase germination through buffering and insulation. Therefore, field experiments were conducted to examine weed pressure and establishment of ‘Sahara’ common bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] and ‘Bow ...

Abstract:
... South Texas is home to a high diversity of species due to its location at the confluence of subtropical, desert, and coastal ecoregions. Historical overgrazing of South Texas rangelands transformed the savanna and prairie to a landscape dominated by woody plants and shrubs interspersed with low seral grass species and bare ground. During the first half of the 20th century, exotic grass species, co ...
