DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8671
Abstract: Abstract Habitat loss is the most prevalent threat to biodiversity in North America. One of the most threatened landscapes in the United States is the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystem, much of which has been fragmented… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.06.033
Abstract: Abstract Pinon-juniper woodlands of the western United States have expanded 2 to 10-fold since the late 1800’s. Tree control measures using chainsaws, heavy equipment and prescribed fire have been used to reduce woodlands and restore… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rama.2020.05.002
Abstract: ABSTRACT Restoration of non-sprouting shrubs after wildfire is increasingly becoming a management priority. In the western U.S., Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young) restoration is a high priority, but sagebrush… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/wf20018
Abstract: Fire frequency has decreased in many shrub-steppe communities. Re-introducing fire may be needed to increase spatial and temporal variability in vegetation, but is often hindered by concerns of undesired vegetation shifts. These concerns arise, in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/land12061176
Abstract: The sagebrush biome within the western United States has been reshaped by disturbances, management, and changing environmental conditions. As a result, sagebrush cover and configuration have varied over space and time, influencing processes and species… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/gmd-12-4585-2019
Abstract: Abstract. Ecosystem dynamic models are useful for understanding ecosystem characteristics over time and space because of their efficiency over direct field measurements and applicability to broad spatial extents. Their application, however, is challenging due to… read more here.
