The Identification, Distribution, Impacts, Biology And Management Of Noxious Rangeland Weeds, Roger L. Sheley
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
This document provides a discussion of the biology and management of exotic rangeland weeds which are a threat to native ecosystems of the western United States.

Wildfires are now common on lands infested with annual weeds, causing a loss of wildlife habitat and other natural resources. Measures can be used to reduce burning and restore native plant communities, but restoration is difficult and costly.
