Potential for post‐fire recovery of Greater Sage‐grouse habitat

Ecosphere, 2019
In the western United States, fire has become a significant concern in the management of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) ecosystems. This is due to large‐scale increases in cover of the fire‐prone invasive annual cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.)

Microhabitat Selection by Greater Sage-Grouse Hens During Brood Rearing

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined throughout the western United States over the past century. Loss of large stands of sagebrush is a major factor leading to the decline of sage-grouse populations.

Integrating multiple indices of habitat quality to inform habitat management for a sagebrush indicator species

Ecological Informatics
Robust science is needed to inform natural resource management and policy decisions. Predictive species habitat maps are frequently employed in conservation decision-making but are often based on a single metric representing habitat quality.

Function over form: The benefits of aspen as surrogate brood‐rearing habitat for greater sage‐grouse

Ecosphere
Species of conservation concern are often habitat specialists, posing significant risk to those species when specific plant communities are threatened. As a result, practitioners habitually focus conservation efforts on these communities while ignoring ...
