A Synopsis of Short-Term Response to Alternative Restoration Treatments in Sagebrush-Steppe: The SageSTEP Project

Creator:: McIver, James, Brunson, Mark, Bunting, Steve, Chambers, Jeanne, Doescher, Paul, Grace, James, Hulet, April, Johnson, Dale, Knick, Steve, Miller, Richard, Pellant, Mike, Pierson, Fred, Pyke, David, Rau, Benjamin, Rollins, Kim, Roundy, Bruce, Schupp, Eugene, Tausch, Robin, and Williams, Jason
Abstract:: The Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP) is an integrated long-term study that evaluates ecological effects of alternative treatments designed to reduce woody fuels and to stimulate the herbaceous understory of sagebrush steppe communities of the Intermountain West. This synopsis summarizes results through 3 yr posttreatment. Woody vegetation reduction by...

Soil Resources Influence Vegetation and Response to Fire and Fire-Surrogate Treatments in Sagebrush-Steppe Ecosystems

Creator:: Rau, Benjamin M., Chambers, Jeanne C., Pyke, David A., Roundy, Bruce A., Schupp, Eugene W., Doescher, Paul, and Caldwell, Todd G.
Abstract:: Current paradigm suggests that spatial and temporal competition for resources limit an exotic invader, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.), which once established, alters fire regimes and can result in annual grass dominance in sagebrush steppe. Prescribed fire and fire surrogate treatments (mowing, tebuthiuron, and imazapic) are used to reduce woody fuels...

Simulating Current Successional Trajectories in Sagebrush Ecosystems With Multiple Disturbances Using a State-and-Transition Modeling Framework

Creator:: Evers, Louisa B., Miller, Richard F., Doescher, Paul S., Hemstrom, Miles, and Neilson, Ronald P.
Abstract:: Disturbances and their interactions play major roles in sagebrush (Artemisia spp. L.) community dynamics. Although impacts of some disturbances, most notably fire, have been quantified at the landscape level, some have been ignored and rarely are interactions between disturbances evaluated. We developed conceptual state-and-transition models for each of two broad...

An Ecological Approach to Integrating Conservation and Highway Planning Volume 2

Creator:: Institute for Natural Resources, NatureServe, Parametrix, CH2M HILL, and Transposition Research Board of the National Academies
Abstract:: This report is intended to help transportation and environmental professionals apply ecological principles early in the planning and programming process of highway capacity improvements to inform later environmental reviews and permitting. Ecological principles consider cumulative landscape, water resources, and habitat impacts of planned infrastructure actions, as well as the localized...

Evaluating theories of drought-induced vegetation mortality using a multimodel– experiment framework

Creator:: McDowell, Nate G., Gehres, Nathan, Limousin, Jean Marc, Macalady, Alison, Martínez-Vilalta, Jordi, Mencuccini, Maurizio, Plaut, Jennifer A., Ogée, Jérôme, Robert E., Pangle, Rasse, Daniel P., Ryan, Michael G., Fisher, Rosie A., Sevanto, Sanna, Waring, Richard H., Williams, A. Park, Yepez, Enrico A., Pockman, William T., Xu, Chonggang, Domec, Jean-Christophe, Holtta, Teemu, Mackay, D. Scott, Sperry, John S., Boutz, Amanda, and Dickman, Lee
Abstract:: Model–data comparisons of plant physiological processes provide an understanding of mechanisms underlying vegetation responses to climate. We simulated the physiology of a pi~non pine–juniper woodland (Pinus edulis–Juniperus monosperma) that experienced mortality during a 5 yr precipitation-reduction experiment, allowing a framework with which to examine our knowledge of drought-induced tree mortality....

Theory and Practice in Eighteenth-Century British Medicine: "Regimental Practice" by John Buchanan, M.D.

Creator:: Kopperman, Paul E.
Abstract:: In 1746, Dr John Buchanan, a recently retired medical officer in the British Army, produced a manuscript, 'Regimental Practice, or a Short History of Diseases common to His Majesties own Royal Regiment of Horse Guards when abroad (Commonly called the Blews).' Revised almost until the time of Buchanan's death in...

Creating Useful and Useable Climate Tools for Sagebrush Land Management Through Scientist and Manager Collaboration

Creator:: Brown, Melanie
Abstract:: The sagebrush ecosystem, home to numerous plant and animal species including big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and the endemic greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), has endured fragmentation and degradation of both quantity and quality due to the cumulative and synergistic relationships between an abundance of individual disturbances including grazing, invasive annuals and...

Forest Fire Effects on Radiative and Turbulent Fluxes over Snow : Implications for Snow Hydrology

Creator:: Gleason, Kelly E.
Abstract:: As a result of a warming climate, subsequent declining snowpack, and a century of fire suppression, forest fires are increasing across the western United States. However, we still do not fully understand how forest fire effects snowpack energy balance, nor the volume and availability of snow melt and associated water...
