## Abstract Soil moisture distributions are expected to be closely tied to ecosystem processes in waterβlimited environments of the southwest United States. Nevertheless, few studies have addressed how soil moisture varies across grassland to forest transitions frequently observed in semiarid mount
The present study provides preliminary assessments of the effect of protection and controlled grazing on the vegetation composition and phytomass in a Mediterranean desert ecosystem, 80 km W of Alexandria. Plots were fenced in 1974 and 1977, and different degrees of grazing pressure (no grazing, 25
