20 Years of natural recovery after wildfire on northern Nevada rangelands

摘要: In recent decades Northern Nevada has experienced a dramatic increase in cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum). As result, wildfire frequency and size increased. The objective of this project was to examine natural vegetation recovery trend following 1985 wildfires. Density cover measurements determined high but fluctuating occurrence minimal change perennial grass shrubs. Loamy 8-10 ecological sites have greater potential for consistently producing more plants than loamy 5-8 droughty loam sites.
