fresc.usgs.gov — Periodic fire is a natural part of sagebrush steppe ecosystems in the Great Basin. However, a suite of human-caused factors has dramatically changed fire regimes in many of these systems. Decades of fire suppression and livestock grazing have produced dense, single-aged sagebrush stands and invasion by cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) has increased More...

invasivespecies.nbii.gov — This research project website stresses the importance of developing early detection methods to prevent the spread of non-native species. Land managers currently control the spread of invasive non-native plant species after they have already become established instead of trying to prevent the establishment of the species. Lists of probable invasive More...

www.werc.usgs.gov — Pinon-juniper woodlands have expanded beyond their historical range in the western United States, due partly to land management practices such as fire suppression that began with settlements of the region in the late 1880s. This woodland expansion has replaced sagebrush steppe vegetation, leading to decreased wildlife habitat, soil seedbanks, and More...
