This post will describe the background, rationale, methods, and some preliminary results for a series of summer watering experiments that I conducted over two years to determine if summer watering in an already restored grassland can produce a strong enough weed flush (exotic annual grasses) to reduce weed challenges in the subsequent growing season. Please see my other…

Can summer watering to flush annuals reduce exotic cover in restored grasslands?
Hi all, This is a link to a research project in which I manipulated timing and intensity of watering to see if summer watering in an already restored grassland could cause a flush of annual grass weeds, and subsequently reduce weed challenges in the following growing season. This talk was given in May at the Society…
