Fire-prone invasive grasses create novel ecosystem threats by increasing fine-fuel loads
and continuity, which can alter fire regimes. While the existence of an invasive grass-fire …

Exotic grasses are a widespread set of invasive species that are notable for their ability to
significantly alter key aspects of ecosystem function. Understanding the role and importance …

Drylands cover 41% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, play a critical role in global ecosystem
function, and are home to over two billion people. Like other biomes, drylands face …

Abstract Aim In the western United States, sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) and salt desert
shrublands are rapidly transitioning to communities dominated by exotic annual grasses, a …

Exotic annual grasses dominate millions of hectares and increase fire frequency in the
sagebrush ecosystem of North America. This devastating invasion is so costly and …

The rate of global climate change is projected to outpace the ability of many natural
populations and species to adapt. Assisted migration (AM), which is defined as the managed …

Currently, quantifying phenology at landscape to regional scales is not feasible with field
data or near-surface sensors. Consequently, the spatial and temporal complexity of …

Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) has increased the extent and frequency of fire and negatively
affected native plant and animal species across the Intermountain West (USA). However, the …

Global ecosystems are undergoing rapid and unprecedented transformations due to a range
of human activities, including land development, pollution, the introduction of invasive …

Monitoring invasive species distribution and prevalence is important, but direct field-based
assessment is often impractical. In this paper, we introduce and validate a cost-effective …
