Spring, summer and fall use by cattle and big game on foothill rangelands

Creator:: Miller, Richard F.
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to evaluate environmental factors influencing use of several plant communities by cattle, elk and deer; determine under story production by plant species and the amount utilized by cattle, elk and deer in certain plant communities; evaluate the interactions of range use between cattle, elk...

Medusahead (Taeniatherum asperum Nevski) : a review and annotated bibliography

Creator:: Hilken, Thomas O. and Miller, Richard F.
Abstract:: Medusahead (Taeniatherum asperum Nevski), a winter annual native to the Mediterranean region of Eurasia, has infested several million acres of rangeland in the northwestern United States. It has been estimated carrying capacity for domestic livestock on infested ranges has been reduced 75 percent. The review is a condensed summarization of...

Spatial and temporal changes of sage grouse habitat in the sagebrush biome

Creator:: Miller, Richard F., Eddleman, Lee, and Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station
Abstract:: This paper was written as a book chapter on the ecology and biology of sage grouse. Because the book was never fully developed, we chose to publish the information with the OSU Agricultural Experiment Station.

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...

The ecology and management of bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum) : a review

Creator:: Miller, Richard F., Seufert, Jamie M., Haferkamp, Marshall R. (Marshall Roy), 1942-, and Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station
Abstract:: Agropyron spicatum, considered one of the most important native bunchgrasses in British Columbia, western Montana, the Columbia Basin and the area between the Cascades and Sierras and the Rockies, dominated millions of acres of pristine semiarid grass and sagebrush sites. It produced more herbage than all other associated species in...

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...

Resilience to Stress and Disturbance, and Resistance to Bromus tectorum L. Invasion in Cold Desert Shrublands of Western North America

Creator:: Chambers, Jeanne C., Bradley, Bethany A., Brown, Cynthia S., D'Antonio, Carla, Germino, Matthew J., Grace, James B., Hardegree, Stuart P., Miller, Richard F., and Pyke, David A.
Abstract:: Alien grass invasions in arid and semi-arid ecosystems are resulting in grass–fire cycles and ecosystem-level transformations that severely diminish ecosystem services. Our capacity to address the rapid and complex changes occurring in these ecosystems can be enhanced by developing an understanding of the environmental factors and ecosystem attributes that determine...

Biology, ecology, and management of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis)

Creator:: Miller, Richard F., Bates, Jon D., Svejcar, Tony J., Pierson, Fred B., Eddleman, Lee E., and Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station
Abstract:: The rapid expansion of western juniper into neighboring plant communities during the past 130 years has caused considerable concern because of increased soil erosion, reduced stream flows; reduced forage production; altered wildlife habitat; changes in plant community composition, structure, and biodiversity; and the replacement of mesic and semi-arid plant communities...
