From the Rocky Mountain Research Station:
The USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) has published a two-part guide to managing sagebrush ecosystems across the West called the “Science framework for conservation and restoration of the sagebrush biome: Linking the Department of the Interior’s Integrated Rangeland Fire Management Strategy to long-term strategic conservation actions.” This Science Framework provides a new, multi-scale approach to management that uses science on ecosystem resilience to disturbance and resistance to invasive annual grasses along with information on the distributions and habitats of sagebrush-obligate species to improve conservation planning and help prioritize management actions.
