At 167 buffelgrass seeding sites in North America we collected climatic and soils data where the grass:  1) persisted over time and increased in area covered (spreads), 2) persisted over time but does not increase in area covered (persists), and 3) declined over time and all plants eventually died (dies).  At 30 sites in Kenya we collected climatic and soils data in the area where T-4464 seed was originally collected.  Only total soil nitrogen and organic carbon differed among survival regimes.  Total soil nitrogen and organic carbon concentrations were least where buffelgrass spreads, intermediate where the grass persists and greatest where the grass dies.  To predict buffelgrass survival among the 3 survival regimes, and between areas where the grass spreads or dies, we used discriminant function analyses.  A model including organic carbon, total soil nitrogen, sand, clay, potassium and cation exchange capacity correctly classified 78% (r2 = 0.8) of the seeding sites in the 3 survival regimes.  A model including sand, total soil nitrogen, calcium, mean minimum temperature in the coldest month, annual precipitation and winter precipitation correctly classified 88% (r2 = 0.8) of the seeding sites between spreads and dies.  Survival regime selection prior to brush control, seedbed preparation and sowing will reduce planting failure probabilities, soil erosion and economic losses, and enhance long-term beef production.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI:A1995QA49600007</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Qa496Times Cited:15Cited References Count:37</style></notes><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ibarraf, FaUtah State Univ,Dept Range Sci,Logan,Ut 84322Utah State Univ,Dept Range Sci,Logan,Ut 84322Ctr Invest Pecuaries Estato Sonora,Sonora,MexicoTexas a&amp;M Univ,Agr Ctr Res &amp; Extens,Vernon,Tx 76305Utah State Univ,Dept Range Sci,Logan,Ut 84322Utah State Univ,Dept Fisheries &amp; Wildlife,Ctr Ecol,Logan,Ut 84322Utah State Univ,Us Forest Serv,Forage &amp; Range Res Lab,Logan,Ut 84322Usda Ars,Tucson,AzUsda Ars,Logan,UtUtah State Univ,Watershed Sci Unit,Logan,Ut 84322</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
