A New Aculodes Species (Prostigmata: Eriophyidae) Described from an Invasive Weed by Morphological, Morphometric and DNA Barcode Analyses

open access: yesInsects, 2022
A new species of eriophyoid mite, Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., was discovered on cheatgrass, Anisantha tectorum (L.) Nevski (syn. Bromus tectorum L.), an annual grass that is native to Eurasia and Northern Africa.

Functional trait differences between native bunchgrasses and the invasive grass Bromus tectorum [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2018
We conducted 30- and 60-d greenhouse experiments to compare functional traits of Bromus tectorum (invasive annual grass) and four perennial bunchgrasses under well-watered or drought conditions. Even under drought, B.

Integrated Management of Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) with Sheep Grazing and Herbicide

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is one of the most problematic weeds in western United States rangelands and sagebrush steppe. It responds positively to different forms of disturbance, and its management has proven difficult.

Invasive annual grass interacts with drought to influence plant communities and soil moisture in dryland restoration

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Understanding the combined effects of drought and invasive species on plant community development and soil moisture could provide valuable insight into the mechanisms hindering successful native plant establishment in dryland restoration projects.

Biocrusts do not differentially influence emergence and early establishment of native and non‐native grasses

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) cover the soil surface of global drylands and interact with vascular plants. Biocrusts may influence the availability and nature of safe sites for plant recruitment and the susceptibility of an area to invasion by non ...

Suppression of Bromus tectorum L. by Established Perennial Grasses: Potential Mechanisms—Part One

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Soil Science, 2012
Bromus tectorum L. (cheatgrass) is an Eurasian annual grass that has invaded ecosystems throughout the Intermountain west of the United States. Our purpose was to examine mechanisms by which established perennial grasses suppress the growth of B ...

Secondary dormancy of seeds in relation to the Bromus tectorum-Pyrenophora semeniperda pathosystem

open access: yesPlant Protection Science, 2013
Bromus tectorum is a highly invasive annual grass. The fungal pathogen Pyrenophora semeniperda can kill a large fraction of B. tectorum seeds. Outcomes in this pathosystem are often determined by the speed of seed germination.

Ecological Genetics of Vernalization Response in Bromus tectorum L. (Poaceae) [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2004
Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass or downy brome) is an exotic annual grass that is dominant over large areas of former shrubland in western North America. To flower in time for seed production in early summer, B. tectorum plants generally require vernalization at winter temperatures, either as imbibed seeds or as established seedlings.Variation in response ...
