Ecosystem functional response across precipitation extremes in a sagebrush steppe
Background Precipitation is predicted to become more variable in the western United States, meaning years of above and below average precipitation will become more common. Periods of extreme precipitation are major drivers of interannual variability in ecosystem functioning in water limited communities, but how ecosystems respond to these extremes over the long-term may shift with precipitation...
متن کاملSaving the sagebrush sea: An ecosystem conservation plan for big sagebrush plant communities
Vegetation change and anthropogenic development are altering ecosystems and decreasing biodiversity. Successful management of ecosystems threatened by multiple stressors requires development of ecosystem conservation plans rather than single species plans. We selected the big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) ecosystem to demonstrate this approach. The area occupied by the sagebrush ecosys...
متن کاملSoil pH trends in a sagebrush meadow and Ponderosa pine ecosystem
1. The acidification effect of Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) needles on soil pH was tested by sampling and measuring pH of soil in areas with ponderosa pine needle litter and without. 2. A total of three depth classes for five samples in each category of pine needles present and absent were collected and analyzed. 3. Statistical analysis of pH data did not indicate statistically significant ...
متن کاملRecovery of Soil Microbial Community Structure after Fire in a Sagebrush-grassland Ecosystem
Recovery of the soil microbial community after fire in a sagebrush-grassland ecosystem was examined using a chronosequence of four sites ranging in time since fire from 3–39 years. The successional stage communities examined included Recent Burn (3 years since fire, ysf), Establishment (7 ysf), Expansion (21 ysf), and Mature (39 ysf). Aboveground standing plant biomass increased with time since...
متن کاملDetecting annual and seasonal changes in a sagebrush ecosystem with remote sensing-derived continuous fields
Climate change may represent the greatest future risk to the sagebrush ecosystem. Improved ways to quantify and monitor gradual change resulting from climate influences in this ecosystem are vital to its future management. For this research, the change over time of five continuous field cover components including bare ground, herbaceous, litter, sagebrush, and shrub were measured on the ground ...
