Summary of multidisciplinary research on Kentucky bluegrass expansion throughout the Great Plains based on symposium held at 2019 SRM Annual Meeting.
Fire, grazing, and their combination are promising tools for managing Kentucky bluegrass to maintain diverse and productive grasslands.
Kentucky bluegrass growth and dominance results in accumulation of surface residues, which alter soil hydrology.
Gradients of Kentucky bluegrass abundance in grasslands are associated with shifts in butterfly pollinator communities.
Community organization, education, and establishment of burn associations support prescribed fire on the ground, but challenges in adopting fire as a management tool remain.
