In 2022, researchers set up a timelapse camera to take daily photographs of cheatgrass growth in Wyoming. In this slideshow, photos from every few weeks show how much faster cheatgrass completes its annual life cycle, compared to its native counterparts.
Timelapse photography of cheatgrass growth, Cameron Pass, CO, 2021
Detailed Description
Timelapse photography of cheatgrass growing on a hillside in the Cameron Pass area of Colorado. To measure the timing of cheatgrass' annual life cycle, researchers set the timelapse camera to take pictures at the same time every day from May 20, 2021 to July 13, 2021. Photos show the progression of cheatgrass' life cycle, from green-up to senescence.

Predicting the phenology of invasive grasses under a changing climate to inform mapping and management
Cheatgrass, an invasive annual grass, reduces ecosystem productivity, negatively impacts biodiversity, and is increasingly problematic in higher elevation ecosystems with climate change. Cheatgrass phenology (that is, the timing of yearly growth and lifespan) varies greatly with elevation, climate, and weather from year to year, which can make management planning difficult and reduce the ability...
