Mechanisms controlling the distribution of two invasive Bromus species

open access: yesFrontiers of Biogeography, 2014
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.

Forage mass, accumulation, and nutritive value of four perennial forages grown in a loblolly pine silvopasture in the Mid‐South United States

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
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

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
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

The role of inoculum dispersal and plant species identity in the assembly of leaf endophytic fungal communities.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
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 ...

Tillage regime affects weed infestation in a winter wheat–spring pea rotation in the Pacific Northwest

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
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.

Exposure to low water potentials and seed dormancy favour the fungus in the Pyrenophora semeniperda-Bromus tectorum pathosystem

open access: yesPlant Protection Science, 2013
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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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

Fire regime shift reveals 17th century socio‐ecological change in the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, New Mexico

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
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

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
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 ...
