FEATURED RESEARCH
Persistence And Evolution Of Native Plants In Cheatgrass Invaded Systems

 

The existence of remnant populations that can evolve in response to the presence of invaders has important implications for the restoration and management of degraded Great Basin rangelands. This project will both provide basic knowledge about the rate and importance of rapid evolution in invaded systems, as well as provide direction on how to proceed with management decisions and the development of restoration plant materials for degraded rangelands.  Read More...
