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

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

Pre‐fire grazing and herbicide treatments can affect post‐fire vegetation in a Great Basin rangeland
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023 Management of wildfire associated with spread of the highly invasive annual grass Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) is a critical need in the western U.S. We investigated the utility of coupling common rangeland management strategies pre‐fire to modify post ...
