The life cycle of cheatgrass differs from most native grasses in that it dries out early in the season while native grasses are still green and producing seeds. This fuels fires earlier in the season and cheatgrass spreads quickly following fire. The positive feedback loop between cheatgrass and fire reduces or eliminates the opportunity for native sagebrush vegetation to recover following fire." } ], "funder": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Biological Threats and Invasive Species Research Program", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/programs/biological-threats-and-invasive-species-research-program" }, "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Complete List of Publications" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Information Systems" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Biology" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Methods and Analysis" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Geology" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Energy" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Environmental Health" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Water" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Ecosystems" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Complete List of Data" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Invasive Species" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Invasive Plants" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Science Technology" } ]
