This dataset contains Sanger ITS sequences from biocrust lichen taxa collected at Horse Heaven Hills in Washington, USA. It also includes metagenomic biocrust lichen data from 20 plots at Horse Heaven Hills in Washington, USA. These data were collected by Bruce McCune and Heather Root in 2019-2020 and sequenced for ITS using bulk sequencing in the PacBio system at Brigham Young University by Steve Leavitt.

Soil data includes carbon (total, organic, mineral-associated, particulate-organic) and texture. Bulk density data includes bulk density values used to calculate carbon stocks. Plant data includes microsite coverage percents and sagebrush demographics. Data is from uninvaded and cheatgrass invaded points near Grand Junction, Colorado and Rock Springs, Wyoming in October and November 2023.

Invasion of exotic annual grasses (EAG) and increased wildfire have led to an emphasis on managing rangeland plant communities for resistance to invasion and resilience to disturbances. In sagebrush steppe and similar rangelands, perennial bunchgrasses and particularly their roots are hypothesized to be primary contributors to the resistance and resilience. We asked how bunchgrass root abundance relates to annual grass invasion and aboveground indicators of bunchgrass vigor that are more readily measured, such as plant height. We used a standardized USDA protocol for root measurement in 445 excavations made in 2016-2018 across a topographically and ecologically varied region of sagebrush steppe burned in the 2015...

Please contact fresc_outreach@usgs.gov with any questions. Mercury is a globally distributed pollutant that threatens human and ecosystem health. Even protected areas, such as national parks, are subjected to mercury contamination because it is delivered through atmospheric deposition,...
