Evaluating Native Wheatgrasses for Restoration of Sagebrush Steppes
, 2010 Pseudoroegneria spicata and Elymus wawawaiensis are two native perennial bunchgrasses of North America's Intermountain West. Frequent drought, past overgrazing practices, subsequent weed invasions, and increased wildfire frequency have combined to severely degrade natural landscapes in the region, leading to a decline in the abundance of native ...

Medusahead Dispersal and Establishment in Sagebrush Steppe Plant Communities [PDF]
Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2008 Medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae [L.] Nevski) is an invasive annual grass that reduces biodiversity and production of rangelands. To prevent medusahead invasion land managers need to know more about its invasion process. Specifically, they must know about 1) the timing and spatial extent of medusahead seed dispersal and 2) the establishment rates

Sagebrush Steppe Wildlife in a Working Landscape
detection probabilities ranging from 0.14-0.43 and pellet surveys from 0.01-0.36. Thus, the choice of method would depend on regional weather patterns and the resources available. Bait increased camera species identification rates and detection probabilities, and season influenced detection probability for pellet surveys but not camera surveys.
