Mau-Crimmins T. 2006. Evaluating management of Lehmann lovegrass (Eragrostis lehmanniana) at Coronado National Memorial; Final report. Natural Resources Report NPS/IMR/SODN-006. National Park Service
Lehmann lovegrass (Eragrostis lehmanniana Nees) is an introduced perennial bunchgrass that is increasingly dominating semi-desert grasslands and savannas of the American Southwest (McPherson and Weltzin 2000), including many parks in the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts. In 2002, the Sonoran Desert Network Inventory and Monitoring Program (SODN) documented foliar cover of Lehmann love grass exceeding 75% on many grassland sites at Coronado National Memorial (CORO), among the highest concentrations ever measured in the region (SODN, unpl. data). This infestation presents an enormous management challenge for CORO.
