- Library Collection RecordUncontrolled grazing exacerbates climate-warming effects on riparian soil functions. Temperature is an important driver of evapotranspiration and decomposition and therefore can be a sensitive…Publication Date 2018
- Library Collection RecordTumbleweed (Salsola sp.) was introduced to the United States, initially in South Dakota, from Russia in the 1870s.� It was first observed in California in 1895.� This plant is widespread across…Publication Date 2018
- Library Collection RecordInvasive annual grasses are altering vegetation dynamics in the Western U.S., decreasing plant diversity and altering forage availability for livestock and wildlife. Preparation and reseeding annual…Publication Date 2018
