Fuel Properties of Effective Greenstrips in Simulated Cheatgrass Fires

Environmental Management, 2022
Invasive annual grasses alter fire regime in steppe ecosystems, and subsequent trends toward larger, more frequent wildfires impacts iconic biodiversity. A common solution is to disrupt novel fuel beds comprising continuous swaths of invasive annual grasses with greenstrips-linear, human-maintained stands of less-flammable vegetation.

Suppression of Cheatgrass by Perennial Bunchgrasses

Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2020
Abstract Long-term control of the invasive annual grass cheatgrass is predicated on its biological suppression. Perennial grasses vary in their suppressive ability. We compared the ability of a non-native grass (“Hycrest” crested wheatgrass) and two native grasses (Snake River wheatgrass and bluebunch wheatgrass) to suppress cheatgrass.

Evapotranspiration from a Greasewood‐Cheatgrass community

Water Resources Research, 1972
Groundwater elevation, soil moisture, and precipitation were monitored to evaluate the components of water loss from two greasewood‐cheatgrass (Sarcobatus vermiculatus‐Bromus tectorum) communities in south central Washington. Annual evapotranspiration was 21–25 cm, 18–31% of which was the transpiration of groundwater.

Cheatgrass--A Challenge to Range Research

Journal of Forestry, 1947
Abstract To determine the ecologic and economic importance of cheatgrass is a challenge to the men in range research. This poorly understood species produces a large volume of herbage over extensive acreages and is undoubtedly the most important forage plant on southern Idaho ranges. Its probable effect upon grazing, watershed, wildlife,

Cheatgrass distribution modeling using soil microclimate

2023
Here we provide the data and code used within our analysis. We used these data and code to understand the abiotic factors that drive cheatgrass distribution and apply that understanding across space and time to understand climate change effects on cheatgrass.
