As exotic annual grasses and the wildfires they promote become more common, the FIREss team in combats them with science-based solutions. In post-fire sagebrush steppe landscapes, invasive annual grasses grow fast and quickly fill in many of the spaces left open by perennial vegetation lost to the fire. Cheatgrass, a common invasive annual grass, is particularly problematic because it colonizes...
The Effect of Pre-Emergent Herbicides on Soil in The Sagebrush Steppe
We are studying how herbicides sprayed onto soil to prevent the establishment of exotic annual grasses such as cheatgrass may impact the health, growth resources and microbiota of soils in sagebrush-steppe, where herbicide use is an important and common tool. Our findings will help make herbicide applications more successful.
