This project responds to an identified need to harness practitioners experience and outcomes of large-scale habitat restoration efforts in the sagebrush biome to inform future restoration treatments and adaptive management of ongoing projects. The project will capitalize on existing rangeland restoration project databases (e.g. the Land Treatment Digital Library [LTDL], Land Treatment Exploration Tool [LTET], and others currently being managed at local and state levels) at a time when both state and federal funding opportunities are enabling land managers to treat sagebrush ecosystem threats, particularly invasive annual grasses, at large landscape scales. We will implement a robust, yet practical monitoring plan...

Wyoming Big Sagebrush communities with degraded or absent herbaceous vegetation occupy vast expanses of the western United States and contribute to sage-grouse population decline. Annual grasses are invading these sagebrush systems and replacing perennial grasses and forbs. Unfortunately, little is understood about restoring degraded sagebrush community understories. Past studies have suggested that burning and herbicide treatment may be an effective approach to increasing perennial grasses, but herbicide alone produced moderate success (Davies 2011). However, using burning as a treatment in core sage-grouse habitat is unlikely. Information on effectively establishing a diverse and healthy forb population is especially...
