Great Basin Vegetation in the Late Pleistocene
Paleoecological sources indicate that the location and extent of Sierra Nevada rangelands have varied significantly during the last 20,000 years. Modern vegetative associations are recent, with montane wet meadows appearing during the last 3,000 years. A late Pleistocene sagebrush grassland existed where montane and subalpine forests occur today. In the central Sierra a pattern of deglaciation ...
متن کاملWhat Makes Great Basin Sagebrush Ecosystems Invasible by Bromus Tectorum?
Ecosystem susceptibility to invasion by nonnative species is poorly understood, but evidence is increasing that spatial and temporal variability in resources has large-scale effects. We conducted a study in Artemisia tridentata ecosystems at two Great Basin locations examining differences in resource availability and invasibility of Bromus tectorum over elevation gradients and in response to di...
متن کاملBOOK REVIEW Great Basin Riparian Ecosystems: Ecology, Management, and Restoration
Applied ecosystem scientists tend to share several articles of faith: (1) that a clearer understanding of spatial and temporal patterns will better inform management decisions; (2) that patterns and relationships need to be examined at multiple scales; and (3) that effective study of ecosystems is fundamentally interdisciplinary. Occasionally a project such as the one described in this book aff...
متن کاملIntegration assessment of Protected Rangeland habitats using landscape ecological approach
The management of areas with landscape ecological approach helps us to have more integrated of considering completely management and also keep the area’s values. Lar National Park and Varjin Protected Area are the most important areas of their biodiversity and wildlife habitats. The aim of this study was quantification of fragmentation in Lar National Park and Varjin Protected Area and to compa...
متن کاملWhither the Rangeland?: Protection and Conversion in California's Rangeland Ecosystems
Land use change in rangeland ecosystems is pervasive throughout the western United States with widespread ecological, social and economic implications. In California, rangeland habitats have high biodiversity value, provide significant habitat connectivity and form the foundation for a number of ecosystem services. To comprehensively assess the conservation status of these habitats, we analyzed...
