Role of propagule pressure and priority effects on plant establishment during restoration of invaded shrub-steppe

Creator:

Schantz, Merilynn C.

Abstract:

Biological plant invasions are diminishing the ecological integrity and function of ecosystems worldwide. A primary example of this is in the Great Basin of the United States, where invasive annual grasses, like cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) and medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae L.

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

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...
