Mowing Wyoming Big Sagebrush Communities With Degraded Herbaceous Understories: Has a Threshold Been Crossed?

Creator:: Davies, Kirk W., Bates, Jonathan D., and Nafus, Aleta M.
Abstract:: Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis [Beetle & A. Young] S.L. Welsh) plant communities with degraded native herbaceous understories occupy vast expanses of the western United States. Restoring the native herbaceous understory in these communities is needed to provide higher-quality wildlife habitat, decrease the risk of exotic plant invasion,...

Can Imazapic and Seeding Be Applied Simultaneously to Rehabilitate Medusahead-Invaded Rangeland? Single vs. Multiple Entry

Creator:: Davies, K. W., Madsen, M. D., Nafus, A. M., Boyd, C. S., and Johnson, D. D.
Abstract:: It has recently been proposed that the cost of rehabilitating medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae [L.] Nevski)-invaded rangelands may be reduced by concurrently seeding desired vegetation and applying the preemergent herbicide imazapic. However, the efficacy of this ‘‘single-entry’’ approach has been inconsistent, and it has not been compared to the multiple-entry approach...

Are Early Summer Wildfires an Opportunity to Revegetate Exotic Annual Grass–Invaded Plant Communities?

Creator:: Davies, Kirk W., Nafus, Aleta M., and Johnson, Dustin D.
Abstract:: Medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae [L.] Nevski) is an exotic annual grass invading western rangelands. Successful revegetation of invaded-plant communities can be prohibitively expensive because it often requires iterative applications of integrated control and revegetation treatments. Prescribed burning has been used to control medusahead and prepare seedbeds for revegetation, but burning has...

Large-Scale Downy Brome Treatments Alter Plant-Soil Relationships and Promote Perennial Grasses in Salt Desert Shrublands

Creator:: Schantz, Merilynn C., Monaco, Thomas A., Call, Christopher A., and Sheley, R. L.
Abstract:: Because invasive annual grasses can strongly influence soil resource availability and disturbance regimes to favor their own persistence, there is a great need to understand the interrelationships among invasive plant abundance, resource availability, and desirable species prominence. These interrelationships were studied in two salt desert sites where the local abundance...

Impact of Cultivation Legacies on Rehabilitation Seedings and Native Species Re-Establishment in Great Basin Shrublands

Creator:: Morris, L. R., Monaco, T. A., and Sheley, R. L.
Abstract:: Little is known about how cultivation legacies affect the outcome of rehabilitation seedings in the Great Basin, even though both frequently co-occur on the same lands. Similarly, there is little known about how these legacies affect native species re-establishment into these seedings. We examined these legacy effects by comparing areas...

Resilience and Resistance of Sagebrush Ecosystems: Implications for State and Transition Models and Management Treatments

Creator:: Chambers, Jeanne C., Miller, Richard F., Board, David I., Pyke, David A., Roundy, Bruce A., Grace, James B., Schupp, Eugene W., and Tausch, Robin J.
Abstract:: In sagebrush ecosystems invasion of annual exotics and expansion of piñon (Pinus monophylla Torr. and Frem.) and juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook., J. osteosperma [Torr.] Little) are altering fire regimes and resulting in large-scale ecosystem transformations. Management treatments aim to increase resilience to disturbance and enhance resistance to invasive species by...

Understory Cover Responses to Piñon-Juniper Treatments Across Tree Dominance Gradients in the Great Basin

Creator:: Roundy, Bruce A., Miller, Richard F., Tausch, Robin J., Young, Kert, Hulet, April, Rau, Ben, Jessop, Brad, Chambers, Jeanne C., and Eggett, Dennis
Abstract:: Piñon (Pinus spp.) and juniper (Juniperus spp.) trees are reduced to restore native vegetation and avoid severe fires where they have expanded into sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) communities. However, what phase of tree infilling should treatments target to retain desirable understory cover and avoid weed dominance? Prescribed fire and tree...

Response of Conifer-Encroached Shrublands in the Great Basin to Prescribed Fire and Mechanical Treatments

Creator:: Miller, Richard F., Ratchford, Jaime, Roundy, Bruce A., Tausch, Robin J., Hulet, April, and Chambers, Jeanne
Abstract:: In response to the recent expansion of piñon and juniper woodlands into sagebrush-steppe communities in the northern Great Basin region, numerous conifer-removal projects have been implemented, primarily to release understory vegetation at sites having a wide range of environmental conditions. Responses to these treatments have varied from successful restoration of...

Piñon-Juniper Reduction Increases Soil Water Availability of the Resource Growth Pool

Creator:: Roundy, Bruce A., Young, Kert, Cline, Nathan, Hulet, April, Miller, Richard F., Tausch, Robin J., Chambers, Jeanne C., and Rau, Ben
Abstract:: Managers reduce piñon (Pinus spp.) and juniper (Juniperus spp.) trees that are encroaching on sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) communities to lower fuel loads and increase cover of desirable understory species. All plant species in these communities depend on soil water held at >-1.5 MPa matric potential in the upper 0.3 m...

Restoring the Sagebrush Component in Crested Wheatgrass–Dominated Communities

Creator:: Davies, Kirk W., Boyd, Chad S., and Nafus, Aleta M.
Abstract:: Monotypic stands of crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum [L] Gaertm. and Agropyron desertorum [Fisch.] Schult.), an introduced grass, occupy vast expanses of the sagebrush steppe. Efforts to improve habitat for sagebrush-associated wildlife by establishing a diverse community of native vegetation in crested wheatgrass stands have largely failed. Instead of concentrating on...
