Multidisciplinary, Multisite Evaluation of Alternative Sagebrush Steppe Restoration Treatments: The SageSTEP Project

Creator:: McIver, James and Brunson, Mark
Abstract:: This special issue presents short-term ecological effects of restoration treatments imposed as part of the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP), and summarizes public attitude survey results related to restoration efforts. Funded by the US Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP; 2005-2011), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM; 2011 to present),...

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...

Short-Term Butterfly Response to Sagebrush Steppe Restoration Treatments

Creator:: McIver, James and Macke, Euell
Abstract:: As part of the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP), butterflies were surveyed pre-treatment and up to four years post-treatment at 16 widely distributed sagebrush steppe sites in the interior West. Butterfly populations and communities were analyzed in response to treatments (prescribed fire, mechanical, herbicide) designed to restore sagebrush steppe...

Identifying Opportunities for Collaboration in Resilience-Based Management: Coordinating Rancher and Land Manager Incentives

Creator:: Maher, Anna T.
Abstract:: Resilience-based management in rangelands implies maintaining desirable ecological states and avoiding thresholds to less desirable ones; however, the efficacy of resilience-based management depends upon several driving forces. These forces include management by those who depend upon rangelands for their livelihoods, the current state of ecological health of rangelands, and changing...

The economic impacts of sagebrush steppe wildfires on an eastern Oregon ranch

Creator:: Maher, Anna T.
Abstract:: The relative success of restoration practices on cheatgrass infested sagebrush steppe lands in the Great Basin can affect the probability of crossing an ecological threshold and have economic effects on cattle ranches using federal rangelands. Cheatgrass invasion implies an increase in the risk of fire, which in turn increases the...

Restoration of Annual Grass-invaded Landscapes in the Sagebrush Steppe using Perennial Grass Seed Technologies and Wyoming Big Sagebrush Transplanting

Creator:: Holfus, Corinna M.
Abstract:: Within the sagebrush steppe ecosystem, invasive annual grasses are of growing management concern as they outcompete native vegetation, change the fundamental nutrient cycling processes, decrease biodiversity, and increase frequency of wildfires. The most widely used and effective management tool to decrease invasive annual grass abundance, is the use of pre-emergent...

Conditions favouring Bromus tectorum dominance of endangered sagebrush steppe ecosystems

Creator:: Reisner, Michael D., Grace, James B., Pyke, David A., and Doescher, Paul S.
Abstract:: 1. Ecosystem invasibility is determined by combinations of environmental variables, invader attributes, disturbance regimes, competitive abilities of resident species and evolutionary history between residents and disturbance regimes. Understanding the relative importance of each factor is critical to limiting future invasions and restoring ecosystems. 2. We investigated factors potentially controlling Bromus...

Drivers of plant community dynamics in sagebrush steppe ecosystems : cattle grazing, heat and water stress

Creator:: Reisner, Michael D.
Abstract:: Sagebrush steppe ecosystems are one of the most widespread but endangered ecosystems in North America. A diverse array of human-related stressors has gradually compromised these ecosystems' resilience to disturbance and invasion by Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass). The role of the foundational shrub Artemisia as a driver of herbaceous community structure and...

Community analysis of the Wyoming big sagebrush alliance and functional role of Wyoming big sagebrush

Creator:: Davies, Kirk W.
Abstract:: This study consisted of two research projects in the Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis (Beetle & A. Young) S.L. Welsh) alliance, the most extensive of the big sagebrush complex in the Intermountain West. In the first project, we intensively sampled 107 relatively undisturbed, late seral Wyoming big sagebrush...
