Grassland, Shrubland and Desert Ecosystem Research Program

Joint Fire Science Program:

Equipment and Strategies to Enhance the Post-wildfire Establishment and Persistence of Great Basin Native Plants

Timeline

The project duration is expected to be 3 years with completion in September 2010. A separate research study will be required to complete the long-term experiment of grazing effects on larger plots of seeded natives that will be established as part of this project. This project will provide baseline data in a standard database that will allow trend detection.
