1. Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is a species of fire-adapted grass that was Introduced by humans to the western United States in the 1880's. Fire-adapted specles not only survive frequent fires, some require fire to release nutrlents or allow seeds to germinate. The Great Basin Desert is characterized by sagebrush and cold temperatures. The Mojave Desert is characterized by creosote bush, cacti, and yucca plants and very hot temperatures. Both deserts get very infrequent ralnfall. Deserts are not fire- adapted ecosystems. Since Cheatgrass was introduced, It has invaded both the Great Basin and Mojave Deserts, where fires now occur as often as every 3 to 6 years. Select any statement that is likely to be true regarding the effects of the inrtoduction of cheatgrass. Fires destroy cheatgrass and halt its invasion. Desert plants will rapidly adapt to frequent fires. Cheatgrass seeds survive and spread with each fire cycle. The frequent fires help cheatgrass expand its range. Natural…
