The site is bordered on the east and southeast by cresotebush (&lt;i&gt;Larrea tridentata&lt;/i&gt; (D.C.) Colville), and by mesquite (&lt;i&gt;Prosopis glandulosa&lt;/i&gt; Torr.), elsewhere....It was concluded from the data that the presence of the sand sage can be attributed to the ability of the soil to take up water very rapidly and store relativelly large quantities at greater depths.  Therefore, more water is available for plant use on the site than in the surrounding communities.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">M.S.
