Daniel Manier, and Michael S O'Donnell, 2022-10-17, Final Report: Understanding Local Resistance and Resilience to Future Habitat Change in the Sagebrush Ecosystem: .

Summary

The sagebrush ecosystem is home to diverse wildlife, including charismatic species such as pronghorn, pygmy rabbits, mule deer and Greater Sage-Grouse. Historic and contemporary land-uses, large wildfires, non-native (introduced) plant invasions, climate cycles with droughts, and long-term climate trends characterize the list of widespread threats to this heavily used landscape. Semi-arid habitats, such as sagebrush ecosystems, present challenges for management due to natural limitations and variability in growing conditions across the landscape and over time. Differences in environmental conditions lead to differences in plant composition, fuel accumulation, resilience to stress and disturbance and restoration/management outcomes. [...]
