Carbon and nitrogen allocation in leaf, fine root, soil, and microbial biomass in invasive Prosopis juliflora and native Acacia nilotica in semi-arid forests of the Aravalli hills

Arid land research and Management (Print), 2023
Semi-arid forests of the Aravalli hills are rich in tree diversity, but plant invasions during the last several decades, especially by Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. have affected the vegetation structure and biogeochemical cycles of these forests.

Prosopis juliflora (mesquite).

2021
Abstract P. juliflora, known commonly as mesquite or algarrobo in its native neotropical region, is a tough and resilient tree providing fuelwood in arid lands world-wide. As a tree it will grow to about 13 m (-20 m) in height, and produce robust, hard and strong timber suitable for construction purposes and fine furniture production.

Identification of Prosopis juliflora and Prosopis pallida Accessions Using Molecular Markers

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2005
There has been much taxonomic confusion over the identification of Prosopis species, especially where introduced. Prosopis juliflora is the most widespread species in the arid and semi-arid tropics, although it has been confused with other species, particularly the closely related Prosopis pallida.

Impact of the Invasive Prosopis juliflora on Terrestrial Ecosystems

2021
Invasive non-native plants are changing ecosystems and native biodiversity, and modifying soil microbial feedback. The invasive species Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) D.C. (mesquite) has been introduced into several ecosystems, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, causing economic, ecological and health problems. This article reviews P.

Water requirements for mesquite (Prosopis juliflora)

Journal of Hydrology, 1977
Abstract Evapotranspiration (ET) determined by different investigators, compared with values determined by the White and Troxell methods, showed that their values provided reasonable estimates and that utilizing diurnal water table fluctuations furnishes a method of computing ET with less than 100% vegetation density.
