Understanding the effect of fire on vegetation composition and gross primary production in a semi-arid shrubland ecosystem using the Ecosystem Demography (EDv2.2) model [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 Wildfires in sagebrush (Artemisia spp.)-dominated semi-arid ecosystems in the western United States have increased dramatically in frequency and severity in the last few decades. Severe wildfires often lead to the loss of native sagebrush communities and

Warming, soil moisture, and loss of snow increase Bromus tectorum’s population growth rate
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2014 Climate change threatens to exacerbate the impacts of invasive species. In temperate ecosystems, direct effects of warming may be compounded by dramatic reductions in winter snow cover.

Bitterbrush and Cheatgrass Quality on 3 Southwest Idaho Winter Ranges [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 2001 Nutritional stress is an important mortality factor for wintering mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus Rafinesque), particularly fawns. The rate at which fawns utilize existing fat stores is at least partially dependent upon the quality of available forage during winter. Although numerous studies have determined the nutritive value of various forage

Increasing native diversity of cheatgrass-dominated rangeland through assisted succession [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 2004 Increasing attention, resources and efforts are being focused on the conversion of weedy dominated rangelands back to perennial plant communities that resemble predisturbance communities in form, function and composition. A study was conducted in 1998 and replicated again in 1999 to determine whether native plants could be established through “assisted

Assessing the Success of Postfire Reseeding in Semiarid Rangelands Using Terra MODIS [PDF]
, 2012 Successful postfire reseeding efforts can aid rangeland ecosystem recovery by rapidly establishing a desired plant community and thereby reducing the likelihood of infestation by invasive plants.

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 ...
