Mechanism
Continuous Heavy Grazing, introduction of a seed source, or direct seeding of Lehmann lovegrass.
Mechanism
Continuous Heavy Grazing with drought, fire interaction. Invasion by creosote bush and/or whitethorn acacia. Other shrubs and succulents can increase also. Lack of fine fuel for fire. Remnant perennial grasses cannot re-colonize areas with shrub competition.
Mechanism
Unknown.
Mechanism
Continuous Heavy Grazing with drought, fire interaction. Invasion by creosote bush and/or whitethorn acacia. Other shrubs and succulents can increase also. Lack of fine fuel for fire. Remnant perennial grasses cannot re-colonize areas with shrub competition.
Mechanism
Prescribed Grazing/No Grazing with herbicide shrub control. Possible seeding of native grasses, maintenance treatments for shrubs (fire, herbicide). State 2, Exotic Grasses, is likely outcome.
Mechanism
Prescribed Grazing/No Grazing with herbicide shrub control. Possible seeding of native grasses, maintenance treatments for shrubs (fire, herbicide). Non-native perennial grass soil seed bank and/or aggressive invasion makes non-native seeding unnecessary.
