    Abstract
    Soil water repellency can limit postfire reseeding efforts and thus increase the susceptibility of a site to weed invasion. We evaluated the effectiveness of wetting agents and simulated anchor chaining for improving seedling growth and survival in water-repellent soil, for the native perennial bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata) and invasive annual cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum). Research was performed in a glasshouse, on 20-cm-diameter soil cores that were excavated from underneath burned Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) trees. The experiment was arranged as a randomized split-plot design, with the two grass species sown separately under four soil treatments: 1) no treatment (control), 2) simulated anchor chaining (hereafter referred to as ‘‘till’’), 3) wetting agent, and 4) till plus wetting agent. Soil water content was highest in the wetting agent treatment, lower for till, and lowest in the control. Overall, the response of bluebunch wheatgrass and cheatgrass was similar among treatments. At the  onclusion of the study, wetting agent cores had twice as many seedlings as the control, while the till and control were similar. Despite a lower number of seedlings, tilling in general resulted in the same level of biomass as the wetting agent treatment. Overall, biomass in the till and wetting agent treatments was at least twofold higher than the control. No benefit was found in applying both till and wetting agent treatments together in comparison to just applying wetting agent. Because of a lack of correlation between glasshouse and field settings the results of this study need to be interpreted with caution. Our data may indicate that if cheatgrass is not already present on the site, anchor chaining or treating the soil with wetting agent can increase establishment of seeded species./La impermeabilidad del suelo puede limitar los esfuerzo de resiembra posteriores a la aplicación del fuego y por lo hacer mas susceptible un sitio a la invasión de malezas. Evaluamos la efectividad de agentes humectantes y simulamos anclas encadenadas para mejorar el crecimiento y supervivencia de plántulas en suelos impermeabilizados para el pasto perenne nativo (Pseudoroegneria spicata) y el pasto invasor anual (Bromus tectorum). La investigación se desarrollo en un invernadero en una muestra de suelo de 20 cm de diámetro colectada debajo de arboles de (Juniperus osteosperma). El diseño experimental fue de parcelas divididas aleatorias con los dos pastos sembrados de manera separada en cuatro tratamientos de suelo: 1) control, 2) simulación de cadena de ancla (referido como ‘‘labranza’’), 3) agente humectante y 4) labranza mas agente humectante. El contenido de agua en el suelo fue mayor en el tratamiento con el agente humectante, menor para labranza y mas bajo en el control. En general, la respuesta de los pastos (Pseudoroegneria spicata) y (Bromus tectorum) fue similar entre los tratamientos. Como conclusión de este estudio, el suelo con el agente humectante tuvo mas del doble de plántulas que el control mientras la labranza y control fueron similares. Independientemente del bajo numero de plántulas el tratamiento de labranza en general tuvo el mismo nivel de biomasa que el tratamiento del agente humectante. En general, la biomasa en los tratamientos del humectante y la labranza fueron al menos dos veces mayores que el control. No se encontró beneficio en aplicar los tratamientos del humectante y la labranza juntos en comparación con solo la aplicación del agente humectante. Debido a la poca correlación entre la propuesta del invernadero de cristal y el campo los resultados de este estudio necesitan ser interpretados con precaución. Nuestros datos podrían indicar que sí el pasto Bromus tectorum no está presente en el sitio actualmente el uso de cadenas de anclaje o tratamiento en el suelo con agentes humectantes pueden aumentar el establecimiento de especies sembradas.
