Milton Fireman, Indicator Significance of Some Shrubs in the Escalante Desert, Utah: .

Summary

1. Chemical effects of native plants on desert soils were studied. 2. Data are presented which indicate that the pH values of saturated soil pastes and 1: 10 soil-water suspensions, particularly of the surface soil, generally are higher under shadscale and invariably are higher under greasewood than in the adjacent bare areas or under plants such as sagebrush. 3. The pH value of the bare soil is usually highest in greasewood and lowest in sagebrush areas, with shadscale areas either intermediate or similar to those of sagebrush. 4. The exchangeable-sodium percentage of the soil is somewhat higher under shadscale and very much higher under greasewood than in the adjacent bare areas or under other plants such as sagebrush. 5. The soluble-salt [...]
