Protecting restoration investments from the cheatgrass‐fire cycle in sagebrush steppe
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 The U.S. federal government has recently committed to the difficult task of slowing and managing the invasive grass‐fire cycle in sagebrush steppe, where property, livelihoods, and entire ecosystems are at risk.

Variation in phenotypic plasticity for native and invasive populations of Bromus tectorum [PDF]
Biological Invasions, 2014 Phenotypic plasticity is often considered important for invasive plant success, yet relatively few studies have assessed plasticity in both native and invasive populations of the same species. We examined the plastic response to temperature for Bromus tectorum populations collected from similar shrub-steppe environments in the Republics of Armenia and ...

Trajectories and drivers of compositional and functional variation in sagebrush steppe restoration
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.Restoration success is often challenged by unpredictable and undesirable outcomes, especially in arid systems like the sagebrush steppe. In an 11‐year study in Grand Teton National Park, climatic conditions during establishment and local soil texture drove long‐term differences in plant community composition and functional traits.

Quantifying avian resilience to habitat change to support conservation decision‐making
Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.Abstract Habitat loss and degradation are two of the main drivers of contemporary avian population declines. Wildlife managers are increasingly advocating for tools that provide decision support to set priorities for restoration or conservation efficiently.

Invasive Lupinus polyphyllus Alters Functional Traits and Life Strategies of Native Species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.In grasslands invaded by Lupinus polyphyllus, native plant species exhibit shifts in functional traits toward increased height, larger leaf area, higher specific leaf area, and lower leaf dry matter content compared to noninvaded sites. These changes indicate a reduced investment in stress tolerance and a greater allocation to competitive or ruderal ...

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers
River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1115-1141, July 2026.ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Dusky grouse seasonal resource selection in the Great Basin isolated mountain ranges of Nevada, USA
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.Dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus are a montane forest grouse species with a paucity of information regarding their temporal and spatial resource use during critical times of high mortality and reproductive output. This lack of vital data may leave dusky grouse at risk of sub‐optimal management in many areas of their distribution, especially in the ...

Plant Protection Science, 2013 Pyrenophora semeniperda is abundant in soil seed banks of Bromus tectorum, where it kills a fraction of seeds throughout the year. The pathogen engages in a race with host seeds for endosperm resources; the pathogen success is negatively correlated with ...

Earlier fall precipitation and low severity fire impacts on cheatgrass and sagebrush establishment
Ecosphere, 2020 In arid and semiarid ecosystems, invasion by exotic grasses may be driving state changes in vegetation defined by losses of native shrub communities.
