Wild West Research Paper

The interior of the Wild Wild west is being invaded from all sides. This biological region is generally the expanse from Northern Idaho all the way to the Southern New Mexico with Cascade Range and Rocky Mountains enclosing. The interior of the west contains a vast trove of wildlands that are for the most part not managed by the government or any organizations due to the unpopulated nature of the environment. In the meantime, nonnative species of plants have managed to billow into self-sustaining populations within the regions due to lack of oversight within the region.
Within the vast interior west, there maintains to be a sole combination of dessert and mountain grasslands that burns during warm season. Dessert regions have in the past been shown to favor the grass versus woody plants. This is due in part by the fashion in which fires usually occur during the summer in dry …show more content…
This was their purpose of course after World War II and the aftermath of extensive grazing that occurred over the region. However, the love grass and other nonnative species alike have had the tendency to spread like wild fire as they fuel fire and recover faster than most of the native species. Interestingly, they manage to help the wood plants in elimination of the native grass as they stabilize the soil for the woody species to move in areas with ease. The problem is complex as the nonnative grass cannot be burned in a control manner like other species of plants in other biomes but also due in part by the inner west biome. Moreover, more fire in regions only helps the nonnative species increase in population as the cycle in which they can handle fire is much shorter than the usual summer for dessert and years for mountainous natives. This essence in complex problem of fire carries onto the shrublands and the minority of forest within the interior
