Native perennial forb variation between mountain big sagebrush and Wyoming big sagebrush plant communities.
Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) occupies large portions of the western United States and provides valuable wildlife habitat. However, information is lacking quantifying differences in native perennial forb characteristics between mountain big sagebrush [A. tridentata spp. vaseyana (Rydb.) Beetle] and Wyoming big sagebrush [A. tridentata spp. wyomingensis (Beetle & A. Young) S.L. Wels...
متن کاملHerbage Response to Sagebrush Spraying
Information that is presently available makes chemical control of sagebrush (Artemisia’ tridentata) a practical operation. Yet additional information is needed regarding ecological responses to assure that the practice of spraying for sagebrush control will be used wisely. The economy of brush control must be determined by the amount of forage and meat products gained; however, the principal ob...
متن کاملKeying In On Big Sagebrush
sified due to national concern about wildlife associated with them. Sage-grouse and other native fauna closely associated with sagebrush plant communities are thought to be declining in many areas. Several range-wide petitions have been filed for listing the sage-grouse under the Endangered Species Act. The black-tailed prairie dog, often associated with sagebrush-grass types, and the sagebrush...
متن کاملContrasting Effects of Different Mammalian Herbivores on Sagebrush Plant Communities
Herbivory by both grazing and browsing ungulates shapes the structure and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems worldwide, and both types of herbivory have been implicated in major ecosystem state changes. Despite the ecological consequences of differences in diets and feeding habits among herbivores, studies that experimentally distinguish effects of grazing from spatially co-occurring, but te...
متن کاملA Sampling and Analytical Approach to Develop Spatial Distribution Models for Sagebrush-Associated Species
Understanding multi-scale floral and faunal responses to human land use is crucial for informing natural resource management and conservation planning. However, our knowledge on how land use influences sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems is limited primarily to site-specific studies. To fill this void, studies across large regions are needed that address how species are distributed relative t...
