Spread of African Pasture Grasses to the American Tropics [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1972 The once limitless forests of humid tropical America are rapidly being converted to grasslands. Areas newly cleared of selva or montania are cropped for a few years, then planted to perennial African grasses to form "artificial" pastures. These generally have been aggressively colonizing species, readily disseminated either by seed or cutting, and they
