Questions: A recently introduced non-native annual grass, Ventenata dubia, is challengingprevious conceptions of community resistance in forest mosaic communitiesin the Inland Northwest. However, little is known of the drivers and potential ecologicalimpacts of this rapidly expanding species. Here we (1) identify abiotic and biotichabitat characteristics associated with the V. dubia invasion and examine how thesediffer between V. dubia and other problematic non-native annual grasses, Bromustectorum and Taeniatherum caput-medusae; and (2) determine how burning influencesrelationships between V…
