Abstract
An investigation of evapotranspritation (ET) rates in Mimisa strigillosa found that ET rates at optimal soil moisture levels were comparable to turf grass. However, under drought stress, ET levels were very low suggesting that this species is water conserving and drought tolerant.Suggested Citation
