From the Conclusions (p.60) ... 'To determine if fire can be used to reduce invasions by nonnative species, precise knowledge of invasive plant morphology, phenology, and life history must be combined with knowledge of the invaded site, its community composition, condition, and fire regime. Nonnative species that survive and/or reproduce successfully in burned areas are not likely to be suppressed by fire alone unless some aspect of the fire regime (usually season, frequency, or severity) can be manipulated to stress the nonnative without stressing the native species. This kind of treatment is most likely to succeed in ecosystems where the native plant community responds well to fire. Burning has been used with some success in grasslands and to prepare a site dominated by nonnative invasive species for planting of desired species.'
