摘要
Long-term heavy grazing had little effect on root and crown biomass of Oryzopsis hymenoides nor did it significantly affect the total nonstructural carbohydrate reserve levels or the seasonal cycle of reserves in this grass. The native Chaco Canyon strains were little affected by clipping and have promising genetic potential for tolerance of drought and heavy grazing. -from Authors
