Native perennial grasses show evolutionary response to Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) invasion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Invasive species can change selective pressures on native plants by altering biotic and abiotic conditions in invaded habitats. Although invasions can lead to native species extirpation, they may also induce rapid evolutionary changes in remnant native ...

Increased Primary Production from an Exotic Invader Does Not Subsidize Native Rodents. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Invasive plants have tremendous potential to enrich native food webs by subsidizing net primary productivity. Here, we explored how a potential food subsidy, seeds produced by the aggressive invader cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), is utilized by an ...

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 ...

Negative effects of an exotic grass invasion on small-mammal communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Exotic invasive species can directly and indirectly influence natural ecological communities. Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is non-native to the western United States and has invaded large areas of the Great Basin. Changes to the structure and composition

Cheatgrass and Grazing Rangelands [PDF]
Rangelands, 2007 Abstract The presence of annual grasses creates a controversy between livestock men and grazing administrators involving the following question: Do annual grasses indicate overgrazing? Would the annual grasses be largely absent from Nevada ranges if there had been no grazing?

Relative abundance of and composition within fungal orders differ between cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata)-associated soils. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Nonnative Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) is decimating sagebrush steppe, one of the largest ecosystems in the Western United States, and is causing regional-scale shifts in the predominant plant-fungal interactions.

Cheatgrass and Range Science: 1930-1950 [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1997 Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is currently and historically has been a serious point of contention among a wide variety of people interested in sagebrush (Artemisia)bunchgrass rangelands. Nowhere are these differences more apparent than in the scientific community.

Salinity affects development, growth, and photosynthesis in cheatgrass [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 2002 The effects of salt stress on growth and development of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) were investigated in 2 greenhouse studies. The first study assessed developmental and physiological responses of this grass to 4 salinity levels. Salinity stunted growth through reduced leaf initiation and expansion, and reduced photosynthetic rates.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Interactions among species can strongly affect how plant communities reassemble after disturbances, and variability among native and invasive species across environmental gradients must be known in order to manage plant-community recovery.
