Restoration ecology in conflict along the Colorado front range

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is a challenge to restoration in western North America. It attracts the attention of academic and government research scientists, weed managers, and chemical companies. Attempts to control it cause conflicts among these groups.

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

A Colorado Front Range grassland exhibits decreasing dominance of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) over time

Ecosphere
Causes, consequences, and potentials for recovery from invasions by the invasive annual grass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), in western North America have been extensively documented. The vast majority of these studies have come from regions where yearly

Native seed mix functional composition determines native plant recruitment and competition against invasive annual grass Bromus tectorum

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The invasion of the winter annual grass Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) reduces native plant biodiversity and increases wildfire risk in western North America. Seed‐based restoration often fails to increase native plant recruitment in degraded, Cheatgrass‐invaded areas.

Addressing multiple management goals during roadside restoration: reducing weed invasion and fire risk while enhancing native plants and pollinator habitat in semiarid, invaded grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Roadside vegetation management efforts often target a single desirable outcome; however, we frequently have multiple management goals for restoration. Multiple goals may be achieved concurrently, but the efficacy of roadside revegetation methods is largely unclear, especially when multiple methods are combined.

Cheatgrass Invasion - The Below-Ground Connection

Journal of Environment and Ecology, 2017
Plant-soil microbial feedback loops play an important role in the establishment and development of plant communities. Microbial soil communities, including pathogens, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria and their reciprocal interactions, can influence plant health and nutrient cycling in many ways. We are proposing a model that accounts for cheatgrass

Climate-Driven Shifts in Soil Temperature and Moisture Regimes Suggest Opportunities to Enhance Assessments of Dryland Resilience and Resistance

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Assessing landscape patterns in climate vulnerability, as well as resilience and resistance to drought, disturbance, and invasive species, requires appropriate metrics of relevant environmental conditions.

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

Agrosystems, 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 ...

Competition of Squirreltail with Cheatgrass at Three Nitrogen Levels

American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2014
Squirreltail (Elymus elymoides [Raf] Swezey) can grow in cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) stands, and has reduced the biomass production of cheatgrass in its immediate vicinity. A field experiment was conducted to determine: 1) if competition for nitrogen resources occurs between seedlings of squirreltail and seedlings of cheatgrass, under low ...

Effect of Temperature on Growth of Cheatgrass and Idaho Fescue [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1995
Development of deep and extensive root systems especially at cold temperatures has been considered an advantage to successful establishment of grass species in arid environments. This study determined the effects of temperature on seedling root and shoot growth of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) and 5 collections of Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis ...
