Temporal Patterns of Structural Sagebrush Connectivity from 1985 to 2020
Land, 2023 The sagebrush biome within the western United States has been reshaped by disturbances, management, and changing environmental conditions. As a result, sagebrush cover and configuration have varied over space and time, influencing processes and species ...

Reestablishing a foundational species: Limitations on post‐wildfire sagebrush seedling establishment
Ecosphere, 2022 Improving post‐wildfire restoration of foundational plant species is crucial for conserving imperiled ecosystems. We sought to better understand the initial establishment of sagebrush (Artemisia sp.), a foundational shrubland species over a vast area of ...

Impact of sagebrush nutrients and monoterpenes on greater sage-grouse vital rates
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) depend on sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) to complete its annual life cycle. The winter diet for sage-grouse consists almost entirely of sagebrush leaves, and individual birds may gain weight while ...
