- •
We studied succession in Mojave Desert shrubs and grasses 36 years after disturbance.
- •
Two types of succession were underway in the 97-m wide linear disturbance corridor.
- •
Secondary succession is occurring from edges of the disturbance inward.
- •
Inhibition is occurring within the central corridor of the disturbance at a road verge.
- •
Time estimates for recovery are location dependent in the disturbance corridor.
