Joint research between Cal-IPC SC, Department of Fish and Game, and the Nature Conservancy on the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve.
Question arose from previous research conducted on the reserve and through the need of the reserve manager.

Goal This study sought to evaluate the efficacy of herbicide and
seeding treatments in an invaded grassland previously treated with prescribed fire.
Perform a project that is useful for real world management at this particular reserve.
Questions Will the combination of prescribed fire and herbicide
treatment increase the control of exotic plants in an invaded grassland and restore the native annual community?
Will seeding the treated areas with native annuals increase the effectiveness of treatments?

The Reserve consists of 9,400 acres and protects unique ecosystems such as Engelmann oak woodlands, riparian wetlands, coastal sage scrub, chaparral, bunchgrass prairie and vernal pools.

Covers over 9 million hectares of California. (Seabloom et al. 2003)
Invasion began over 200 years ago, significantly depleting native seedbanks. (Cox and Allen, 2008)
Nassela pulchra within the grasslands responds positively to prescribed fire.

Prescribed Fire SRP’s controlled burned program began in 1985.
Burns are completed in late spring after vegetation has dried, but before grasses drop their seed.

Herbicide Fusilade II
Active Ingrdient: Fluazifop-P-butyl
A selective post-emergent herbicide for control of grass weeds.
Known to not affect some grass species including Vulpiamyuros.
It has also been shown to damage Erodium species (Christopher and Holtum 1998, 2000) and specifically control E. cicutarium in Southern California (Steers 2008).

Herbicide Rodeo
Active Ingrdient: Glyphosate
Nonselective post-emergent herbicide for control of all vegetation
![Page 11: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Rodeo would be a more effective herbicide on site due to the presence of Vulpia myuros which is not affected by Fusilade, but would also produce more non-target effects.
Seeding treatments will be necessary due to a depleted seedbank, will be most effective in the Rodeo treatment, and will have little to no effect in control plots, which will likely continue to be out competed by invasive species.

Prescribed fire (June 2009)
3 Herbicide Treatments (January 2010) Control Fusilade Rodeo
2 Seeding Treatments (February 2010) Seeded with a mix of native annual seeds Unseeded
![Page 13: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
4 replicates per treatment organized in a randomized complete block
Each replicate was a 5m x 5m plot with a 1 m buffer Vegetation data was collected from two 0.5m x 1m
quadrats within each block.

CONTROL FUSILADE RODEO
![Page 15: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pretreatment cover was consistent across sites
Rodeo was more effective than Fusliadeat killing invasive species.
![Page 16: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Fusilade did not reduce total invasive cover and had no effect on natives
Rodeo reduced invasive cover and allowed native species to increase productivity.
![Page 18: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Fusiladechanges community composition by increasing presence of Vulpiamyuros.
Rodeotreatment changes community composition by increasing cover of exotic forbs.
![Page 19: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Seeding is not effective with high presence of invasive species.
Seeding increase native cover after exotic species are removed.
![Page 20: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Herbicides reduce the cover of Nasselapulchra
![Page 21: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
At peak flowering season there was not a significant difference between total cover of invasive species within the Control and Fusilade plots.
Rodeo was effective at reducing exotic species cover post burn.
![Page 22: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Seeding treatments increased native propagulepressure to the plot which increased establishment in areas where invasive plants had been removed.
This creates the possibility of seedbank restoration in future years.
The results of our seeding efforts are consistent with prior research in which seeding treatments only worked on plots sprayed with herbicide. (Cione et al. 2002)
![Page 23: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Nasella pulchra was negatively affected by both herbicides.
Dormancy?
No germination was recorded in year one
![Page 24: Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, … · Michael D. Bell, Sara Jo Dickens, Heather Schneider, Kai Palenscar, and Lynn Sweet. University of California, Riverside](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013015/5b8bd0fc09d3f245638bf86d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Small sample size. Site specific results.
Not recommending bulk treatment of prescribed burns with herbicide.
Additional data needs to be collected to determine longer term effects.

Second year of data collection
Expand to larger areas of land without Nasella.
