FEATURED RESEARCH
Can Repeated Burning Of Cheatgrass Dominate Rangelands Be Used To Restore Sagebrush Steppe?

 

Many studies have shown that cheatgrass growth is inhibited with nitrogen availability. Other studies have shown that fire causes the volatilization of nearly all nitrogen in the material that is burned. In this study, we are investigating the possibility of inhibiting cheatgrass through repeated burning of it, thereby reducing nitrogen availability over the long term.  Read More...
