ABSTRACT Invasive plant species present a growing ecological and economic challenge, and often adapt rapidly to their novel environments through complex demographic and evolutionary processes. Invasion genomics offers powerful tools to disentangle these processes, but most studies rely on geographically narrow sampling across native and non‐native ...

Potential for post‐fire recovery of Greater Sage‐grouse habitat
In the western United States, fire has become a significant concern in the management of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) ecosystems. This is due to large‐scale increases in cover of the fire‐prone invasive annual cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.)

Understanding how target weeds and surrounding plant communities respond to traditional and novel management is essential to meeting agricultural sustainability goals. We monitored target species cover (Bromus tectorum) and plant community diversity for 3 years following management.

ABSTRACT This study presents the first deep‐learning time‐series benchmark for detecting two encroaching species in the Brazilian Cerrado: the native super‐dominant fern Pteridium arachnoideum and the invasive alien shrub Tithonia diversifolia. We evaluate 43 architectures across six families (CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, and three hybrid groups) on ...

Invaders break assembly rules to beat the natives: how cheatgrass cheats [PDF]
Understanding how some introduced plants achieve invasive status while most simply become naturalized is a fundamental question in invasion ecology. Traditional approaches comparing native and introduced plants have linked ruderal traits such as annual ...

Cheatgrass is favored by warming but not CO2 enrichment in a semi‐arid grassland
AbstractElevated CO2 and warming may alter terrestrial ecosystems by promoting invasive plants with strong community and ecosystem impacts. Invasive plant responses to elevated CO2 and warming are difficult to predict, however, because of the many mechanisms involved, including modification of phenology, physiology, and cycling of nitrogen and water ...

Wildfire risk is on the rise around the world. In places like California, this risk is further instigated by the invasive species cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum).

In rangeland ecosystems of the western United States, invasion by exotic annual grass (EAG) poses a substantial threat to native biodiversity. Studies have shown that weather, especially precipitation, can greatly influence the rate of invasion and EAG ...
