Abstract

Hoary tansyaster is an early colonizer of rangelands and disturbed sites. It is commonly found on roadsides and gravel pits competing with invasive plants such as cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and knapweed species (Centaurea spp). It can be planted to enhance species diversity in rangeland seedings throughout the western United States.
