The Oxalate, Tannin, Crude Fiber, and Crude Protein Composition of Young Plants of Some Atriplex Species

摘要: Oxalate, tannin, crude fiber, and protein contents were determined in 11 introduced Atriplex species four native to western North America that might be browsed by wildlife livestock. A triplex of foreign origin resembled domestic content oxalate, tannins, protein, with averages range similar those A. canescens. These could fit into a ecosystem improve the quality quantity different browse species. (saltbush) occurs throughout semiarid regions United States, Middle East, Australia, Africa, Siberia. In States genus is represented annuals, herbaceous perennials, woody shrubs. Jepson (195 1) listed 29 present California. Tidestrom (1925) noted 30 Utah Nevada region, while Rydberg (1954) found 37 Rocky Mountains adjacent plains. Some important are fourwing saltbush, canescens (Pursh.) Nutt.; Nuttall nuttallii S. Wats.; shadscale, confertifolia (Torr. & Frem.) allscale polycarpa
