Exclusion of fire and grazing does not reduce annual grass invasion in a sagebrush steppe ecosystem

Joseph T. Smith, Brady Allred, Chad S. Boyd, Kirk W. Davies, Scott L. Morford, David E. Naugle, Thomas J. Rodhouse, Devin S. Stucki

The paper tests whether excluding fire and grazing reduces annual grass invasion in sagebrush steppe ecosystems, finding that protected areas are still heavily invaded by annual grasses.
