Welcome

Established in 1975, the Shrub Sciences Laboratory is a unique facility devoted principally to wildland shrub ecosystem research, the only laboratory in the world with this research mission. Of 24 broad shrub types found in the U.S., 23 occur in the West. Ideally situated to fulfill its mission, the Provo laboratory is surrounded by the 400 million acres of western United States shrublands, comprising the Rocky Mountains, Great Basin, and Colorado River Plateau.
