Composition of soil seed banks in southern California coastal sage scrub and adjacent exotic grassland (2008, background): “most logistically feasible burning treatment (Young et al. 1981; Meyer and Schiffman 1999; Gillespie and Allen 2004; DiTomaso et al. 2006).”
Variable Impacts of Imazapic Rate on Downy Brome (Bromus tectorum) and Seeded Species in Two Rangeland Communities (2009, methodology): “Herbicide use, especially when combined with other treatments, is the most common approach to control wildland weeds (DiTomaso 2000; DiTomaso et al. 2006; Jacobs et al. 2006; Sheley et al. 2004).”
Woody exotic plant invasions and fire: reciprocal impacts and consequences for native ecosystems (2011, background): “DiTomaso et al. (2006) reviewed the use of prescribed fire for controlling weeds (both native and exotic) in the United States and concluded that fire is an effective management only for a few woody species, and is best integrated with other management techniques such as mechanical removal or herbi”
Revegetation of Medusahead-Invaded Sagebrush Steppe (2010, background): “Fire can increase the effectiveness of herbicides by removing litter thereby increasing the contact between the herbicide and vegetation target (DiTomaso et al. 2006).”
