  • Prescribed fire effects on vegetation and arthropod dynamics, and sampling techniques in a Wyoming big sagebrush community

    Creator:
    Rhodes, Edward C.
    Abstract:
    In the western United States, sagebrush (Artemisia spp L.) dominated rangelands are extensive, accounting for approximately 63 million ha. The Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young) alliance is found in more xeric environments, occupying the largest area of the big sagebrush complex in areas within...

  • Modeling animal movement to manage landscapes

    Creator:
    Larson-Praplan, Stephanie
    Abstract:
    Managing rangelands with livestock grazing is a tool that can be applied to obtain vegetation management objectives. Animals utilize available resources, which vary in quantity and quality, across the landscape. Their movements are adjusted to the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of resource distribution. Controlling livestock distribution is fundamental to economically...

  • Watershed response to western juniper control

    Creator:
    Deboodt, Timothy L.
    Abstract:
    Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) encroachment has been associated with increased soil loss and reduced infiltration resulting in the loss of native herbaceous plant communities and the bird and animal species that rely on them. Hydrologically, however, change in water yield has been linked with the amount of annual precipitation a...
