Recent increases in Bromus populations on the Nevada Test Site
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6936648
Two introduced grass species, Bromus rubens L. and Bromus tectorum L., have invaded the Mojave and Great Basin Desert vegetation of the Nevada Test Site. One or the other dominates most ephemeral populations. They occur in densities up to thousands per square meter. The ecosystem changes resulting from the grasses include an increased tendency for propagation of fire and a possible decrease in diversity of the native ephemeral flora. 14 refs., 4 tabs.
