Carbon and Water Fluxes in an Exotic Buffelgrass Savanna

Rangeland Ecology and Management, 2016
Abstract Buffelgrass savanna is becoming widespread in aridland ecosystems around the world following invasion or deliberate land conversion for cattle forage. There is still a gap of information regarding functional and ecohydrological aspects such as carbon, water, and greenhouse gas exchanges in these highly productive novel ecosystems where ...

Native shrubland and managed buffelgrass savanna in drylands: Implications for ecosystem carbon and water fluxes

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2019
Land cover and land-use change (LCLUC) between woody- and grass-dominated ecosystems in drylands comprise one of the largest uncertainties in the land CO2 sink.

Interactions among buffelgrass, phenanthrene and phenanthrene-degrading bacteria in gnotobiotic microcosms

Journal of Environmental Science and Health - Part A Toxic/Hazardous Substances and Environmental Engineering, 2008
An experiment was undertaken in gnotobiotic microcosms to determine the role of buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and a phenanthrene-degrading bacterium (strain PM600) in the degradation of phenanthrene. The Gram-negative bacterium was identified as a Sphingomonas sp. by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and as S.

Conversion of thornscrub to buffelgrass pasture in northwestern Mexico: Microclimatic consequences

Journal of Arid Environments, 2016
Abstract Buffelgrass ( Pennisetum ciliare ) have been planted in large areas of northwestern Mexico for cattle grazing. Previous studies have documented how buffelgrass conversion affects several ecological processes; however, very few studies have documented how conversion affects local microclimate.

Nutrient intake of range sheep on a buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) pasture

Small Ruminant Research, 1995
This study was conducted to estimate and compare the organic matter (OM), energy and mineral intakes of grazing lambs in a buffelgrass pasture during 1 year. Vegetation in the study area (10 ha) consisted mainly of buffelgrass (70% of covered area) and shrubs such as blackbrush (Acacia rigidula), palo verde (Cercidium macrum) and cenizo (Leucophyllum ...

Mitigating buffelgrass invasion through simulated targeted grazing: understanding restoration potential in a variable precipitation regime

Restoration Ecology, 2023
The potential for targeted grazing for restoration through the removal of invasive species represents an effective tool for practitioners. This study examines the impact of targeted grazing across highly variable precipitation on buffelgrass, a widely ...

Future Presence of an Invasive Grass in the Caribbean: Modeling Potential Distribution of Cenchrus ciliaris L. (Buffelgrass) in Puerto Rico

Caribbean Journal of Science, 2023
Invasive plants can cause drastic changes in their new ecosystems, and these changes might depend also on future climatic conditions. Buffelgrass is an African C4 bunchgrass that has been introduced outside its native range for rangeland improvement and ...

Effectiveness of a decade of treatments to reduce invasive buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare)

Invasive Plant Science and Management, 2023
The invasion of nonnative grasses threatens biodiversity and ecosystem function globally through competition with native plant species and increases to wildfire frequency and intensity.
