Abstract
•
Southeastern New Mexico's rangelands are under stress due to a prolonged drought.
•
Atriplex lentiformis and Atriplex canescens are native forage halophytic shrub species.
•
In New Mexico and throughout the United States large amounts of water are generated daily during the extraction of oil and gas.
•
A. lentiformis and A. canescens grow in high soil salinity conditions, which infers they can be used for rangelands improvement.
•
Both these species could act as candidate crops for animal fodder grown in arid areas.
