Purpose

Desert shrublands are among the most widely cited examples of invasive plants altering fire regimes through a feedback process called the grass/fire cycle. High levels of cover of invasive annual grass can increase the chance of fire ignition and facilitate fire spread, often decreasing the time interval between previous and subsequent fires as well as increasing the extent of burning. The purpose of this study was to determine co‐occurrence patterns between four taxa of invasive annual plants and evaluate their impacts on postfire plant communities in the Mojave Desert.
