Herbicidal treatment of mesquite is one of the many ways of controlling this shrubby species. Dense mesquite stands impair grass production in many areas of southwestern United States. Grass recovery is related to the structural characteristics of the plant which often differs among species. The objectives of this study were to describe the structural changes in basal circumference, crown diameter, height, stem number, internode number, branch number and phenology of bush muhly (Muhlenbergia porteri [Scribn.] ex Beal.) and sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus [Torr.] Gray.) in a sprayed and non-sprayed mesquite community; determine the growth of the two species as influenced by mesquite canopy and to relate different plant attributes measured to standing dry weight and determine how the herbicide treatment and the mesquite canopy affect soil water at three soil depths. The study was conducted at the New Mexico State University College Ranch, located approximately 32 km north of Las Cruces in Dona Ana County, New Mexico.
