Overview

In this publication Rodney Bovey discusses the economics of growing, harvesting and using mesquite. This book is a handy guide for ecologists, range managers, biologists, landowners and students of ecosystem science and agriculture.

In this book, Rodney Bovey has synthesized years of research to reflect current knowledge of the biology, morphology, and management of mesquite. Considered by many as invasive, he addresses encroachment but also the ecological importance in prevention of erosion, desertification, and in providing food and habitat for wildlife.
