Invasive grass influences on the fire-cycle and treatment effectiveness to control their abundance in the Intermountain West, USA

“We performed a review and meta-analysis of recent (1985 – 2023) scientific literature. We focused on the Intermountain West, USA, where six dominant invasive grass species have already transformed ecosystems, including winter annuals – cheatgrass [ Bromus tectorum (L.)], medusahead [ Taeniatherum caput-medusae (L.) Nevski], red brome [ Bromus rubens (L.)], and Mediterranean grass [ Schismus arabicus Nees & Schismus barbatus (Loefl. ex L.) Thell]; and summer perennials – buffelgrass [ Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link] and Lehmann’s lovegrass ( Eragrostis lehmanniana Nees).”
