The Role of Pre-Emergent Herbicides in Desert Shrubland Restoration with Brynne Lazarus

Season 4 · Episode 4

Wednesday, October 2, 2024 • Duration 37:56

This week’s interview is focused on one crucial aspect of desert shrubland restoration efforts - the use of pre-emergent herbicides. These pre-emergent herbicides prevent seeds from germinating without causing significant harm to most established perennials, and they are used almost universally in restoration projects in sage-steppe ecosystems to reduce the cover of invasive annual grasses. Brynne Lazarus, biologist with USGS, will be guiding us through her research on the use of pre-emergent herbicides in desert shrubland restoration efforts.

What the Soda Fire Taught Us About Post-Fire Restoration with Cara Applestein
