Applying Fire Connectivity and Centrality Measures to Mitigate the Cheatgrass-Fire Cycle

This research article aims to “model and map fire connectivity on a cheatgrass-invaded landscape, as well as the centrality of large cheatgrass patches, in order to inform a landscape fuel treatment (i.e., a network of greenstrips); and to evaluate the modeled greenstrip network based on changes to cheatgrass patch centrality.”Applying fire to mitigate the cheatgrass-fire cycle
