英文摘要	Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) is an African grass used as forage for livestock that is also invasive. Several methods have been evaluated to remove invasive buffel grass, but the effect of removal on establishment of native plants is poorly understood. We explore the effect of buffel grass removal treatments on the germination and establishment of four Sonoran Desert tree species. We used three removal treatments and a control; after treatments were applied, we sowed seeds of Mariosousa willardiana, Parkinsonia microphylla, Olneya tesota, and Parkinsonia florida. For each treatment, we evaluated germination, plant survival and measured soil moisture, soil temperature, and light quantity. In a second experiment, we tested whether glyphosate, an herbicide used in removal treatments, had significant effects on the same native species. Additionally, in a third experiment, we evaluated the effect of glyphosate on a native annual species. Results showed that the herbicide treatment was effective killing buffel grass and promoting the regeneration of native species. Germination and survival rates for the four study species were greatest under the herbicide treatment and lower after manual removal treatments of buffel grass. However, the herbicide glyphosate significantly suppressed the survival and growth of seedlings of the studied tree species and the annual species. Given the effect of glyphosate on native seedlings and other known side effects, we suggest that it is used only to target buffel plants, avoiding contact with native vegetation.
