Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) seedling recruitment is limited by seed production and dispersal in space and time, by genetic constraints of specific ecotypes, and by environmental factors that include weather, microsite attributes, soil…

Sagebrush seedling establishment appeared to be strongly related to moisture availability as influenced by ecological site, soil surface texture, herbaceous competition, microtopography, seedling year precipitation, exposure, position on slope, etc…

Sagebrush is considered to be an obligate vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal plant. Some studies have shown that burning lowers the mycorrhizal inoculum potential (MIP) of the soil (Klopatek and others 1988, 1990; Wicklow-Howard 1989). If this happens…

Fire has been an important factor in the development of the vegetation of the Snake River Plain. Prior to Euro-American influence, fire helped determine the physiognomy and species composition of many communities. The occurrence of fire varied…

Annual weeds continue to expand throughout the West eliminating many desirable species and plant communities. Wildfires are now common on lands infested with annual weeds, causing a loss of wildlife habitat and other natural resources. Measures can…
