Many ecosystems are experiencing increased fire frequencies and species invasions that
can erode their resilience and cause a shift to alternative states. In the sagebrush‐steppe, a …

Recent policy has focused on prevention of wildfire in the sagebrush steppe in an effort to
protect habitat for the greater sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). Historically, fire …

Repeated perturbations, both biotic and abiotic, can lead to fundamental changes in the
nature of ecosystems, including changes in state. Sagebrush steppe communities provide …

Improving post‐wildfire restoration of foundational plant species is crucial for conserving
imperiled ecosystems. We sought to better understand the initial establishment of sagebrush …

The role of fire in restoration of sagebrush plant communities remains controversial mainly
because of paucity of information from long-term studies. Here, we examine 15-year post-fire …

Interannual variation, especially weather, is an often‐cited reason for restoration “failures”;
yet its importance is difficult to experimentally isolate across broad spatiotemporal extents …

Woody vegetation has increased on rangelands worldwide for the past 100–200 years, often
because of reduced fire frequency. However, there is a general aversion to reintroducing …

The structure and composition of sagebrush‐dominated ecosystems have been altered by
changes in fire regimes, land use, invasive species, and climate change. This often …

Sagebrush is one of the most imperiled ecosystems in western North America, having lost
about half of its original 62 million hectare extent. Annual grass invasions are known to be …

Sagebrush steppe of North America is considered highly imperilled, in part owing to
increased fire frequency. Sagebrush ecosystems support numerous species, and it is …
