Intervention effect Some studies indicate that indaziflam can help certain plants reestablish.
Intervention effect Other studies demonstrate that indaziflam harms non-target species.
Observation In the Colorado Front Range, the review located no research implicating cheatgrass as contributing to extreme wildfires.
Observation Absent control measures, recovery from disturbance includes declining cheatgrass cover.
Recommendation Ecological and human health issues argue against continued indaziflam applications for cheatgrass control in this region.
