Potential management opportunities derived from a combination of mean rates of change in cover and mean invasive annual grass cover in 2017–2021

Potential management opportunities derived from a combination of mean rates of change in cover and mean invasive annual grass cover in 2017–2021. Red indicates locations with very high rates of change or very high invasive annual grass cover, which may not have favorable treatment outcomes. Yellow indicates locations where the combination of rate of change and invasive annual grass cover may be amenable to treating invasive annual grasses. Blue shows areas with very light invasions or where rates of change are negative, and thus, protecting these locations by resisting additional disturbance and continuing to monitor these locations for changes in an undesirable direction could be an appropriate approach. Management goals in areas with variable rates of change (gray) will depend on the ecological context and local knowledge. Insets show details for two example locations.
