Body

The drying rate of cheatgrass was studied on four plots in western Montana and northern Idaho. The characteristic color changes in cheatgrass while it is curing (from green to purple to straw color) are proposed as an indicator of impending flammability because these colors are generally correlated with progressive drying of plants. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
