Mechanisms controlling the distribution of two invasive Bromus species
In order to predict future range shifts for invasive species it is important to explore their ability to acclimate to the new environment and understand physiological and reproductive constraints controlling their distribution.

Abstract Establishing forage in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations has the potential to increase grazing acreage for cattle farms in the Mid‐South, but appropriate species selection still requires investigation. The objective was to evaluate forage mass, accumulation, and nutritive value of four perennial forage species, novel‐endophyte tall ...

Impact of crop sequence on cereal yield and soil health in shallow dryland soils
Abstract Diversifying small‐grain production systems is encouraged in the US northern Great Plains and similar semiarid regions. Our objective was to determine how crop sequence affected small‐grain crop disease, grain yield, and soil biology in shallow dryland soils of central Montana. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), canola (Brassica napus L.), field pea

Because of disturbance and plant species loss at the local level, many arid ecosystems in the western USA benefit from revegetation. There is a growing interest in improving revegetation success by purposefully inoculating revegetation plants with ...

Abstract Compared with conventional tillage, no‐till reduces soil erosion and is considered a more sustainable practice in dryland cropping systems of the Pacific Northwest. However, weed management in these systems relies solely on herbicides, and the number of herbicide‐resistant weeds is increasing each year.

In semi-arid regions of the United States, Pyrenophora semeniperda kills seeds of the winter annual Bromus tectorum. We report on pathosystem outcomes under manipulated water potential and temperature environments commonly observed within semi-arid ...

De novo genome assembly of the fungal plant pathogen Pyrenophora semeniperda. [PDF]
Pyrenophora semeniperda (anamorph Drechslera campulata) is a necrotrophic fungal seed pathogen that has a wide host range within the Poaceae. One of its hosts is cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), a species exotic to the United States that has invaded natural

Abstract Humans have influenced ecosystems for millennia, and social changes can have notable ecological effects. Recent human influence on ecosystems is exemplified by the collapse of fire regimes circa 1900 in the western United States due to increased grazing, fire suppression, and declining Indigenous fire use.

Effects of wildfire on the distribution of mammals and birds in a working shrub‐steppe landscape
Abstract The intensity, frequency, and extent of wildfire have increased drastically in the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecoregion within Washington, USA, over the last few decades. Wildfire on this landscape, already modified and fragmented by agriculture and other disturbances, may challenge the persistence of wildlife that depend on continuous ...
