Summary

Bromus tectorum (L) (cheatgrass, downy brome), one of the most pervasive weeds in the United States, reduces native species diversity and transforms habitats. I conducted four experiments designed to better understand B. tectorum ecology and evaluate control and restoration strategies. I measured the responsiveness of six native plants and B. tectorum to field and commercial sources of arbuscular mycorrizal fungi (AMF) inoculum. Bromus tectorum and early successional plant species were negatively responsive and late successional species were positively responsive to field AMF inoculum, while commercial inoculum was ineffective. I compared mycorrhizal inoculum potential of field soils from beneath native plants surrounded by B. tectorum [...]
