Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 Interannual variation, especially weather, is an often‐cited reason for restoration “failures”; yet its importance is difficult to experimentally isolate across broad spatiotemporal extents, due to correlations between weather and site characteristics ...

Quantifying avian resilience to habitat change to support conservation decision-making. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Habitat loss and degradation are two of the main drivers of contemporary avian population declines. Wildlife managers are increasingly advocating for tools that provide decision support to set priorities for restoration or conservation efficiently.

The Effect of Seeding Treatments and Climate on Fire Regimes in Wyoming Sagebrush Steppe
Fire, 2021 Wildfire size and frequency have increased in the western United States since the 1950s, but it is unclear how seeding treatments have altered fire regimes in arid steppe systems.

Relative abundance of and composition within fungal orders differ between cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata)-associated soils. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Nonnative Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) is decimating sagebrush steppe, one of the largest ecosystems in the Western United States, and is causing regional-scale shifts in the predominant plant-fungal interactions.

Grazing intensity effects on herbaceous community composition in burned sagebrush steppe
Ecosphere, 2023 There is limited knowledge of grazing impacts on longer term plant community dynamics following fire in sagebrush steppe. This study evaluated vegetation response to different intensities of deferred rotation cattle grazing over 16 years (2007–2022) on ...

Influence of directional side of sagebrush canopies and interspaces on microhabitats
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2023 Shrubs can contribute to spatial heterogeneity in plant communities by creating distinct microsites under their canopies compared to between their canopies (interspaces).

The Seasonal Water Balance of Western-Juniper-Dominated and Big-Sagebrush-Dominated Watersheds
Hydrology, 2021 The combined impacts of woody plant encroachment and climate variability have the potential to alter the water balance in many sagebrush steppe ecosystems in the Western USA, leading to reduced water availability in these already water-scarce regions ...
