Invasive annual grasses are a growing global concern because they facilitate larger and
more frequent fires in historically fuel‐limited ecosystems. Forests of the western United …

Context An increase in the number and availability of datasets cataloging invasive plant
distributions offers opportunities to expand our understanding, monitoring, and management …

Rangeland carbon is often conceptualized similarly to intensively managed agricultural
lands, in that we need to sequester and store more carbon. Unlike intensively managed …

Ecosystem functions are heavily dependent on the functional composition of the plant
community, ie, the functional traits of plants forming the community. This, on the one hand …

Abstract Wildlands of the United States' Intermountain West contain recurring interspersed
plant-community types; namely native sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata spp. wyomingensis …

Agricultural production in the western United States relies on water supplies from mountain
source-water systems that are sensitive to impacts from wildfire and a changing climate. The …

Characterizing the connectivity of materials, organisms, and energy on rangelands is critical
to understanding and managing ecosystem response to disturbances. For over twenty years …

Climate, land-use, and invasive plants are among the important drivers of ecosystem
functions through the changes in functional composition. In this study, we studied the effects …

Temporal community stability, here defined as temporal mean divided by temporal SD, plays
an important role in predicting certain ecosystem services. However, temporal stability can …

Hybridization is common between invasive and native species and may produce more
adaptive hybrids. The hybrid (Sphagneticola× guangdongensis) of Sphagneticola trilobata …
