Summary

We evaluated sagebrush on 24 post-fire seeding sites encompassing >50,000 acres on the Snake River Plain in the Northern Great Basin, specifically in southwest Idaho. Sites were initially identified using the Land Treatment Digital Library (LTDL; http://greatbasin.wr.usgs.gov/ltdl/; and Inciweb fire information (http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/) websites to identify seeding projects located in predominantly Wyoming big sagebrush sites (2,500 to 4,000 feet ASL; 2 sites also had A.t. vaseyana, 2 other sites had only A.t. vaseyana) that (1) had burned and were seeded within the year following fire, from 1987-2010, (2) but had not burned since, and (3) had information on seed sources. Standard USDA species abbreviations are used.

Purpose

Our objective was to assess the resistance and resilience of sagebrush to climate variability, with a focus on climate effects and consideration of its genetic diversity assemblage of projects across the semi-arid inland Northwest. We assessed responses of existing sagebrush habitat to experimental manipulations of climate across the Snake River Plain, including warming treatments and shifts in the amount and timing of precipitation. These climate-manipulation experiments were arrayed across a climate and disturbance gradient from Boise to the Teton Mountains.
