Targeting the Triple Threat: Cheatgrass, Medusahead, and Ventenata

PART ONE OF TWO: See part two here:    • Targeting the Triple Threat: Cheatgrass, M...   An in-depth management review of three invasive grasses in the Western United States. These invasive annual grasses are devastating western natural areas and rangeland, resulting in landscape-scale transformations in a cycle that favors further invasion. Further Impacts include: continuous bed of fine fuel associated with an increase in frequency and intensity of rangeland wildfire, significant reduction or elimination of desirable perennial species, reduced forage quality for wildlife and livestock, increased risks for wildlife and pollinator species, resulting wildfires that are a threat to humans, wildlife, property, and infrastructure.
