Downy Brome (Bromus tectorum) Is a Host for the Causal Agents of Fusarium Crown Rot of Winter Wheat in the Dryland Pacific Northwest

PhytoFrontiers
Fusarium crown rot (FCR) causes significant yield and quality loss of wheat in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the United States. The green bridge, defined in the 1980s as a phytopathological phenomenon at a landscape level, refers to any living plant ...

Biosecurity risks from weeds in crop seed lots imported into Canada: prevalence, trends, and herbicide resistance [PDF]

NeoBiota
The international crop seed trade is a major pathway for the unintentional introduction of non-native invasive plant species and herbicide-resistant weeds, posing biosecurity threats to agriculture and ecosystems.

Multi‐scale considerations for identifying and managing climate‐change refugia in grassland ecosystems

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Grasslands are among the most threatened ecosystems globally due to agriculture, development, and climate change, placing many grassland species at risk. This paper highlights the opportunity to integrate the concept of climate‐change refugia—areas that buffer species from climate extremes—into existing grassland conservation strategies.

Interacting agricultural pests and their effect on crop yield: application of a Bayesian decision theory approach to the joint management of Bromus tectorum and Cephus cinctus.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Worldwide, the landscape homogeneity of extensive monocultures that characterizes conventional agriculture has resulted in the development of specialized and interacting multitrophic pest complexes. While integrated pest management emphasizes the need to

Influence of shrub‐induced microhabitats and biocrusts on native bunchgrass seedling establishment and growth

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Introduction Establishment of native vegetation from seed is important to the persistence and restoration of many native plant communities. Seedling establishment and growth likely vary within a plant community and may be influenced by microhabitats and biological soil crusts (biocrusts).

Phenology forecasting models for detection and management of invasive annual grasses

Ecosphere
Non‐native annual grasses can dramatically alter fire frequency and reduce forage quality and biodiversity in the ecosystems they invade. Effective management techniques are needed to reduce these undesirable invasive species and maintain ecosystem ...

Group effects of a non‐native plant invasion on rodent abundance

Ecosphere, 2019
Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is the most prolific invading plant in western North America. Investigations determining the impact of this invasion on population state variables and community dynamics of rodents have largely occurred at the community or ...

Diaspore Dimorphism, Awn Hygroscopicity and Adaptive Significance in a Winter Annual Bromus tectorum (Poaceae)

Plants
Bromus tectorum, a winter annual plant, produces dimorphic diaspores: complex diaspores with multi-awns and simple diaspores with one awn. However, there is no information available about the role of awns and the germination characteristics of dimorphic ...

Ecologically-Based Manipulation Practices for Managing Bromus tectorum-infested Rangelands [PDF]

, 2011
Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is an invasive annual grass common in several semiarid plant communities in the western U.S. B. tectorum presence increases fire frequency and size, reducing species diversity, and leading to annual species-dominated systems with inconsistent livestock forage potential and degraded wildlife habitat value.

Clash of the Invaders: Competition Dynamics of Bromus tectorum and Ventenata dubia in an Addition Series Study

Ecology and Evolution
Competitive interactions between co‐occurring invasive species can have detrimental impacts on native communities and cause counter‐effective responses to management.
