Inhaltsangabe

Young, a retired senior scientist from the USDA Agricultural Research Services, has teamed with Clement, who is still a rangeland scientist with the agency, to provide this ecological study of cheatgrass, a highly invasive grass that covers millions of acres throughout the Great Basin. Written for students and researchers of rangeland ecology, this book explores the important role this grass plays in the grazing behaviors of livestock and wildlife while addressing its dangerous propensity to fuel wildfires. The authors explore the origins and biology of this plant, its genetic variations and patterns of distribution and the efforts of wildlife managers and firefighters to control its expansion.
