Title: Effects of burning and grazing on a coastal California grassland
Journal: Restoration Ecology
Authors: D. A. Hatch, J. W. Bartolome, J. S. Fehmi, and D. S. Hillyard
Date: 1999
Summary: Fall burning and continuous grazing of California coastal prairie on upper, middle, and lower slopes had varied effect on 3 native perennial grasses. Foliar cover of California oatgrass (Danthonia californica) increased by 10% under a 10-year or more continuous grazing regime, but decreased in both cover and frequency when grazing was excluded. Despite response to grazing, California oatgrass was unaffected by fire. In contrast, purple needlegrass (Nassella pulchra) and foothill needlegrass (Nassella lepida) did not respond cons ...

Title: Intraspecific and diffuse competition: The response of Nassella pulchra in a California grassland
Journal: Ecological Applications
Authors: A. R. Dyer, and K. J. Rice
Date: 1997
Summary: Dyer and Rice measured the effects of weeding, increased soil depth, grazing and prescribed burning on the competitive relationship between the native perennial, purple needlegrass (Nassella pulchra), and invasive annual species to determine if use of these management tools could restore the native plant community in the California annual grasslands. Burning and weeding both reduced the effects of diffuse competition with annual species, however, the effects of fire only lasted one season. Soil depth and grazing did not have direct effects on plant growth or survival, however grazing tended ...
