E.; Schuster, J. L. Sixty-four percent of the Brazos River flood plain upstream from Possum Kingdom Lake to the confluence of its Salt and Double Mountain forks is occupied by woody phreatophytes. Saltcedar dominated communities are found on 36% and mesquite on 17%. Saltcedar acreage increased significantly from 1940 to 1969, but mesquite did not. At 1969 densities, these two species used approximately 51,000 acre feet of water annually along this expanse of the river.

Wayne Thu, 01 Jul 1971 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10150/650051 1971-07-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10150/650053 Why Squirreltail Is More Tolerant to Burning than Needle-and-Thread Wright, H. A. Squirreltail plants have a low density of dead plant material; consequently, they burn quickly, and heat penetration to the growing points is at a minimum. By contrast, the greater density of dead plant material in needle-and-thread bunches causes them to burn at higher temperatures for longer periods, so that many plants are killed. Squirreltail is also more tolerant than needle-and-thread to herbage removal by clipping. Thu, 01 Jul 1971 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10150/650053 1971-07-01T00:00:00Z
