Global change and terrestrial plant community dynamics
Franklin, Serra-Diaz, Syphard, Regan
Anthropogenic drivers of global change include rising atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses and resulting changes in the climate, as well as nitrogen deposition, biotic invasions, altered disturbance regimes, and…

Plant invasions or fire policy: which has altered fire behavior more in tallgrass prairie?
Twidwell, West, Hiatt, Ramirez, Winter, Engle, Fuhlendorf, Carlson
Human behavior has rapidly evolved from fire-promoting to aggressively attempting to minimize its magnitude and variability. This global shift in human behavior has contributed to the adoption of strict policies that govern the purposeful and…

Potential of grass invasions in desert shrublands to create novel ecosystem states under variable climate
Yu, Okin, Ravi, D'Odorico
The invasion of exotic grasses into shrublands is a major disturbance to dryland ecosystems. The presence of exotic grasses enhances the occurrence of wildfire in landscapes that had not evolved in the presence of fire, leading to high rates of…

Mapping cheatgrass across the range of the greater sage-grouse: linking biophysical, climate and remote sensing data to predict cheatgrass occurrence
Downs, Larson, Cullinan
Increasing spread of invasive annual grasses, such as Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass), can contribute to increased fire frequency and hinder the reestablishment of native sagebrush,forbs, and grasses in subsequent years. Knowledge of the current…
