متن کاملField growth comparisons of invasive alien annual and native perennial grasses in monocultures
Throughout the western United States, the invasive annual grass, medusahead (Taeniatherum caputmedusae L. Nevski), is rapidly invading grasslands once dominated by native perennial grasses, such as bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata (Pursh) A). It is also invading grasslands dominated by less undesirable invasive annual grasses, especially cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.). Understandi...
متن کاملResponse of two perennial grasses to root barriers and fissures

We hypothesized (a) growth would be greatest in the absence of a barrier; and (b) the shallow-rooted H. belangeri would be relatively less affected by barrie...
