The impact of juniper removal on shrubs and understory vegetation and its implications for sagebrush dependent vertebrate herbivores

Kimberly A. Haab, Christian A. Hagen, Bryan A. Endress, Kate H. Yates et autres

The expansion of trees into previously grass- and shrub- dominated ecosystems is a global phenomenon threatening ecosystem integrity and function in encroached systems, including the North American sagebrush biome. This ecosystem is currently in peril, threatened in part by juniper (Juniperus sp.) …

Surface-active arthropod community response to juniper removal and its implications for avian conservation in sagebrush ecosystems

Kimberly A. Haab, Christian A. Hagen, Sandra J. DeBano, Bryan A. Endress et autres

Terrestrial arthropods are a critical component of sagebrush ecosystems and serve as a key food source for higher trophic levels, including many avian species of conservation concern. The North American sagebrush (Artemisia sp.) biome is in peril, threatened in part by the …

Reversing Tree Encroachment Increases Usable Space for Sage‐Grouse during the Breeding Season

Andrew C. Olsen, John P. Severson, Brady Allred, MATTHEW O. JONES et autres

ABSTRACT In the Great Basin, coniferous trees are expanding their range at a rate higher than any other time during the Holocene. Approximately 90% of the expansion has occurred in ecosystems previously dominated by sagebrush ( Artemisia spp.). Transitions from open, sagebrush …

Reversing tree expansion in sagebrush steppe yields population‐level benefit for imperiled grouse

Andrew C. Olsen, John P. Severson, Jeremy D. Maestas, David E. Naugle et autres

Abstract Woody plant expansion into shrub and grasslands is a global and vexing ecological problem. In the Great Basin of North America, the expansion of pinyon–juniper ( Pinus spp.– Juniperus spp.) woodlands is threatening the sagebrush ( Artemisia spp.) biome. The Greater …
