Data and informal reports on native and non-native vegetation rehabilitation treatments and plant community responses following wildfires in south-central Idaho
Popovich SJ. 1992. Data and informal reports on native and non-native vegetation rehabilitation treatments and plant community responses following wildfires in south-central Idaho. United States Geological Survey - Biological Resources Division.
Data were collected annually or periodically from numerous (>50 but <100 sites total) exhaustive and detailed permanent and temporary study plots to describe the disturbance responses in plant communities to wildfire and wildfire native and non-native vegetation rehabilitation treatments. Several sites occur in areas administered by the BLM within CRMO/CRMP. The large data sets have been only cursorily analyzed. Includes informal species lists from some study sites. Other rare plants noted include Stylocline filaginea and Gymnosteris nudicaulis. Data of weedy response from Bromus tectorum and Bromus japonicus were also collected. Results suggest that some treatments are more successful than others, and long-term conversion of native range to non-native weedy range is of paramount concern. Native seedings do not generally succeed as well as non-native seedings, but there are exceptions.
