Hello From Texas,
I'm looking for studies and information about the
diversity and bio-mass of Texas prairies as compared to Texas
woodlands. Other general info is also certainly welcome.
Several folks whose main objective is restoring the
prairies of Texas, a very worthy endeavor, would do so at the expense of the
woody brush and woodlands that have begun to cover disturbed prairie lands
- namely juniper, mesuite and other "invasive" brush species.
That prairies are more diverse than woodlands is
another justification for clearing trees.
I'm also hearing that prairies have more bio-mass
than forests, and that prairies have a higher ratio of underground bio-mass than
woodland systems do.
Discussion and documented sources of information
appreciated.
Kirby Fry
