Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) and yellow starthistle (Centaurea
soistitialis L.) have invaded over 3 million ha of grasslands in the western U.S.
Future management will require an understanding of the conditions,
mechanisms, and processes which control species dominance, community
dynamics, and desirable plant establishment in these alien dominated annual
rangelands....
Plant invasion and restoration outcomes
are largely driven by the timing and magnitude of seed
dispersal, and by the performance of dispersed species
in an environment. Because seed dispersal controls
recruitment of newly arriving species and facilitates
safe site occupation, assembly will differ depending
on seed dispersal processes and variable...

1. Seeding native plants is a key management practice to counter land degradation across
the globe, yet the majority of seeding efforts fail, limiting our ability to accelerate ecosystem
recovery.
2. Recruitment requires transitions through several seed and seedling stages, some of which
may have overriding influences on restoration outcomes....

Larson, J. E., Sheley, R. L., Hardegree
Seedling recruitment is a critical driver of population dynamics and community assembly, yet we know little about functional traits that define different recruitment strategies. For the first time, we examined whether trait relatedness across germination and seedling stages allows the identification of general recruitment strategies which share core functional attributes...
