Yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis L.) is a nonnative pest of rangelands that decreases forage quality and yield. Mowing may control starthistle effectively and complement herbicide use in an integrated pest management strategy, but little research has investigated its effects on nontarget vegetation. We monitored biomass and seedbank size of annual and perennial species, in addition to starthistle, in response to 3 yr of mowing treatments, either mowing alone or in combination with solarization tarps or thatch removal. All mowing treatments were very effective at reducing starthistle biomass and seedbank: mowing alone reduced biomass 92+/-2%, mowing with thatch removal 91+/-1%, and mowing with solarization 95+/-1%. Compared to seed...
