Soil Resources Influence Vegetation and Response to Fire and Fire-Surrogate Treatments in Sagebrush-Steppe Ecosystems

Creator:: Rau, Benjamin M., Chambers, Jeanne C., Pyke, David A., Roundy, Bruce A., Schupp, Eugene W., Doescher, Paul, and Caldwell, Todd G.
Abstract:: Current paradigm suggests that spatial and temporal competition for resources limit an exotic invader, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.), which once established, alters fire regimes and can result in annual grass dominance in sagebrush steppe. Prescribed fire and fire surrogate treatments (mowing, tebuthiuron, and imazapic) are used to reduce woody fuels...
