And the salt cedars invaded riparian (moist) habitats across the West. The invasive salt cedar proceeded to push out all other plants in an estimated one million acres. This tree also salts the soil surface so nothing else grows, quickly forcing out all the plants that native wildlife depend on. Instead of diverse ecosystems, there is now a silent monoculture of salt cedar across acres of land. This shade-providing tree also fits the definition of “weed” – certainly a plant growing where it is not wanted.
The problem does not end there. A real hot topic is buffelgrass (Pennsetum cilare) and fountain grass (P. setaceum). Literally hot. These two grasses spread by seed along roadsides and onto desert hillsides. They crowd out native plants and dry into fuel for wildfires. These fires are fierce and hot. Native desert plants cannot stand “hot” fires and they often die.
Especially susceptible is our stately saguaro and most other cacti. Meanwhile these invasive grasses quickly resprout after a burn. As these grasses take over the desert they fuel even larger fires and reduce native plant and animal populations and diversity even further.

Another nasty chore dispatched I picture a pair of scientists in lab coats somewhere saying to one another: "Congratulations, Doctor, we've invented seed that will produce fat, quick-growing blades of grass that will require mowing four times a week instead of just once. |

Hot sod: How to care for your turf when the mercury soars An overfed lawn will grow too fast, producing grass that is healthy and lush on top but spindly and weak on the bottom. Most lawn fertilizers also contain nitrogen, which can burn your lawn – the last thing heat-stressed turf needs, Wendell says. |

Johnson sprays spring wheat, makes prevent plant plans Roger Johnson, who farms and ranches with his wife, Mary, near Donnybrook, about 30 miles northwest of Minot, said their cattle are all out on pasture and the grass is "up to their bellies" in height.
