Density dependence of songbird demographics in grazed sagebrush steppe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Sagebrush steppe is one of the most threatened ecosystems in North America. Adult density of songbirds within sagebrush steppe is a metric used to evaluate conservation actions.

Long-term bat abundance in sagebrush steppe [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Bats of western North America face many threats, but little is known about current population changes in these mammals. We compiled 283 surveys from 49 hibernacula over 32 years to investigate population changes of Townsend’s big-eared bats (Corynorhinus

Epigaeic spider response to sagebrush steppe restoration treatments
Ecosphere, 2022 Epigaeic (ground‐active) spiders are dominant predators of arthropods and are important prey for vertebrates in sagebrush steppe systems. As part of the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP), the response of epigaeic spiders to ...

Ecosystem functional response across precipitation extremes in a sagebrush steppe [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 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.

Response of Sagebrush Steppe Grass Species to AMF Inoculum Sources and Biochar [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 The sagebrush steppe has presented increasing levels of degradation. The addition of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and biochar have been suggested to restore ecosystems. However, little is known about their effects on sagebrush steppe plants.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Sagebrush steppe ecosystems are threatened by human land-use legacies, biological invasions, and altered fire and climate dynamics. Steppe protected areas are therefore of heightened conservation importance but are few and vulnerable to the same impacts ...

Ecosphere, 2016 In sagebrush steppe, snowpack may govern soil respiration through its effect on multiple abiotic and biotic factors. Across the Intermountain West of the United States, snowpack has been declining for decades and is projected to decline further over the ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Spatial heterogeneity in plant communities promotes coexistence and diversity by providing a variety of niches for different species. In shrub-steppe communities, shrubs create distinct microsites under their canopies (canopy microsites) compared to ...

Post-fire vegetation dynamics of a sagebrush steppe community change significantly over time
California Agriculture, 2015 Sagebrush steppe ecosystems of the Intermountain West have experienced a decline over the past 150 years due to changing fire regimes, invasive species and conifer encroachment.
