This study aims to show the degree of encroachment of brush on the study area and also the nature of the invasion on various soil types. Vegetation surveys of 1858, 1915, 1928, and 1963 were compared. Factors possibly responsible for the changes in vegetation were examined. This study was conducted on the Jornada Experimental Range, which is 23 mi north of Las Cruces, New Mexico.
