Abstract
⺠We assessed herbs and tree regeneration under Prosopis and Acacia tortilis canopies. ⺠Herbs diversity and productivity were lower under Prosopis than under A. tortilis. ⺠We also found lack of A. tortilis seedlings under Prosopis canopy. ⺠Apparently, Prosopis invasion has severe repercussions to riverine forest ecology. ⺠We recommend Prosopis management to mitigate ecological and livelihoods threats.
