Maternal environment affects adaptive seed and seedling traits in Elymus elymoides
… adaptive traits of bottlebrush squirreltail (Elymus elymoides), a common restoration grass used in the Great Basin, are affected by its maternal growing environment. We grew a wild-sourced, agriculturally produced population under 6 maternal environments representing conditions ranging from …

A Community's Natural Resistance to Invasion by Cheatgrass and the Effects of Associational Herbivory
… and other plant traits, and (3) a native grass, Elymus elymoides, experienced higher herbivory in high- than in low-density cheatgrass patches, supporting the attractant-source hypothesis that predicts associational susceptibility. Through indirect effects, invading species may generate important …

Investigations of physiological and competitive relationships of Elymus species related to establishment in the Great Basin, USA.
… mechanisms of plant establishment. We focus on Elymus elymoides and Elymus multisetus because they have wide geographic ranges and have been identified as good competitors against Bromus tectorum. Results from the first study indicate that different Elymus seed sources had few differences in …

Soil Moisture Measurements and Modeling at a Geomorphically Reclaimed Coal Mine in New Mexico
… of a native plant bottlebrush squirreltail (Elymus elymoides), and an invasive species cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) was determined in terms of cumulative progress towards germination (PTG). Survivability of existing plant blue grama grass (Bouteloua gracilis) and cheatgrass was also predicted …

The Effect of Prescribed Burning on Soil Microbial Communities, Nutrients, and Carbon Dioxide Fluxes Under and Between Sagebrush Canopies in the Semi-Arid Rangelands of Northern Nevada
… burning. The cultivation of squirreltail (Elymus elymoides (Raf. Swezey), a desirable perennial plant species, can be used to curb the spread of cheatgrass. A prescribed burn was conducted at the University of Nevada Reno Experimental Station Gund Ranch. A greenhouse experiment was also …
