Repeated fires reduce plant diversity in low‐elevation Wyoming big sagebrush ecosystems (1984–2014)
Sagebrush is one of the most imperiled ecosystems in western North America, having lost
about half of its original 62 million hectare extent. Annual grass invasions are known to be …

A warmer and drier climate in the northern sagebrush biome does not promote cheatgrass invasion or change its response to fire
Dryland shrub communities have been degraded by a range of disturbances and now face
additional stress from global climate change. The spring/summer growing season of the …

Seeding native species increases resistance to annual grass invasion following prescribed burning of semiarid woodlands
Exotic grass invasions are often facilitated by disturbances, which provide opportunities for
invasion by releasing pulses of resources available to invaders. Where disturbances such …

A case for adaptive management of rangelands' wicked problems
Sagebrush-steppe restoration has long been seen as a wicked problem—each case has
multifaceted problems with no universal solutions—and thus managers have had to adopt …

The role of fire in restoration of sagebrush plant communities remains controversial mainly
because of paucity of information from long-term studies. Here, we examine 15-year post-fire …
