The 17 states represent the ecoregions of the western United States (Fig. 2.1 ). The seven Bromus
species are represented by state site records spanning their current distributional range as indicated
by the USDA Plants database ( http://www.plants.usda.gov , accessed 18 Feb 2015). The 19 data provid-
ers represent the original sources of information for the database used in Fig. 2.2
