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...

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...

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...

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),...

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...

Acceptance, Acceptability, and Trust for Sagebrush Restoration Options in the Great Basin: A Longitudinal Perspective

Creator:: Gordon, Ryan, Brunson, Mark W., and Shindler, Bruce
Abstract:: In surveys of residents in three urban and three rural locations in the Great Basin we examined the social acceptability of six management practices showing promise for restoring sagebrush-dominated rangelands. Unlike most studies of range management perceptions that have relied on single measurements, we used longitudinal data from a questionnaire...

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...

Fuel Reduction, Seeding, and Vegetation in a Juniper Woodland

Creator:: Kerns, B. K. and Day, M. A.
Abstract:: Western juniper has increased in density and distribution in the interior Pacific Northwest since the late 1800s. Management goals for many juniper woodlands are now focused on reducing tree densities and promoting biodiversity, prompting the use of fuel reduction treatments. Fuel reduction often involves mechanical cutting and disturbances such as...

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...

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...
