Ecosystem transformations to altered or novel ecological states are accelerating across the
globe. Indicators of ecological resilience to disturbance and resistance to invasion can aid in …

Background Sagebrush ecosystems are experiencing increases in wildfire extent and
severity. Most research on vegetation treatments that reduce fuels and fire risk has been …

The sagebrush biome is a dryland region in the western United States experiencing rapid
transformations to novel ecological states. Threat‐based approaches for managing …

Plant communities in a stable, long-term state with high sagebrush cover and low desirable
perennial herbaceous cover and/or relatively high invasive annual cover are widespread …

The structure and composition of plant communities in drylands are highly variable across
scales, from microsites to landscapes. Fine spatial resolution field surveys of dryland plants …

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 …

Objectives Our objectives were to (1) identify post-fire dominant sagebrush steppe plant
association types and ask how they vary with time at a landscape (multi-fire) scale and (2) …

State‐and‐transition models (STM) are valuable tools that aid understanding and
management of ecosystems. There also is potential for STMs to be used as a framework to …

Questions Post‐fire seeding has been widely implemented in the semiarid Great Basin
because natural vegetation recovery may be compromised. Non‐native species are often …

In order for restoration to meet its full potential, we must disentangle mechanisms that drive
community trajectories with attention to those that can be manipulated by practitioners …
