Late Holocene Relationships Among Fire, Climate, and Vegetation in Rangeland Ecosystems of Southwestern Idaho [PDF]
, 2010 Rangelands are characterized by more arid climates than forested regions; therefore, establishing fire histories using traditional methods (e.g. fire-scars from trees or charcoal in lake sediments) is problematic.

Bird Responses to Removal of Western Juniper in Sagebrush-Steppe
Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2017 AbstractWe investigated bird abundance in response to western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) removal using a short-term chronosequence approach and generated estimates of density and responses to management for the most abundant species. Stands targeted for tree removal were primarily in the middle stages of juniper encroachment (Phase II, 7 851 ha).

Topographic control of vegetation in a mountain big sagebrush steppe
Vegetatio, 1989 Mountain big sagebrush steppes in Wyoming have strong spatial patterning associated with topography. We describe the spatial variability of vegetation in a sagebrush steppe, and test the relationship between topography and vegetation using canonical correlation.

Arthropod Faunas of Monocultures and Polycultures in Reseeded Rangelands [PDF]
, 2017 Sap-feeding and predaceous arthropod faunas of forage bunchgrasses in reseeded rangeland vegetation were examined. Four major species of sap feeders were found; the major predators were spiders.

An alternate state approach to range management in the sagebrush steppe
, 2011 Describing and predicting sudden shifts between alternate states in ecosystems is a frontier in ecology with important implications for natural resource management and human well-being. The range profession has recently adopted an approach to land management decision-making based on alternate state theory.

Climate change and plant demography in the sagebrush steppe
, 2013 We used demographic methods to address one of the main challenges facing ecological science: forecasting the effect of climate change on plant communities. Ecological forecasts will be crucial to inform long-term planning in wildland management and demographic methods are ideal to quantify changes in plant abundance.

Breeding Birds at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, 1985 - 1991 [PDF]
, 1998 During the summers of 1985-1991, bird censuses were conducted along 13 permanent routes located at the 2315-km2 Idaho National Engineering and Environmental laboratory (INEEL, formerly INEL) in southeastern Idaho. The objectives of the surveys were to (1)
