Read MoreWhat has SageSTEP learned about sagebrush ecosystems after 10+ yrs of post-treatment monitoring?
View recorded presentations. The SRM Symposium (February 2021) shared some of what’s been learned after at least 10 years post-treatment. Researchers present findings from conifer-encroached and cheatgrass-invaded sites, focusing on: effects of treatments on herbaceous plants, ground surface properties, and hydrologic and erosion processes in woodlands; and on fire behavior and Wyoming big sagebrush in…

View video (2:59). As concerns grow regarding global climate change, so does interest in reducing the carbon emissions. A little-know but useful fix is the restoration of the carbon-storage capacity of natural ecosystems. Scientists at SageSTEP are working with land managers to restore these sagebrush ecosystems to a healthy state to minimize the spread of…
