The Biology and ecology of weeping alkaligrass (Puccinellia distans) and Nuttall’s alkaligrass (Puccinellia nuttalliana)

Creator:

Tarasoff, Catherine

Abstract:

Weeping alkaligrass (Puccinellia distans) and Nuttall’s alkaligrass (Puccinellia nuttalliana) infest Kentucky bluegrass seed fields of eastern Oregon. Weeping alkaligrass is an introduced species from Eurasia, whereas Nuttall’s alkaligrass is native to semi arid environments of western North America. These species are often referred to collectively as ‘alkaligrass’; however, for farmers...

Associations Between Crested Wheatgrass and Native Vegetation in Southeastern Oregon : An Investigation of Co-establishment, Environment, Seeding History, and Livestock management

Creator:

Nafus, Aleta M.

Abstract:

Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum [L] Gaertm), an introduced bunchgrass, has been seeded on over 5 million hectares of degraded rangeland in western North America because it establishes more readily than native bunchgrasses. Because crested wheatgrass stands are associated with native species displacement and low biological diversity, there is substantial interest...
