Spatiotemporal mapping the usable space of free‐roaming equids across the western United States
Abstract Management of feral equids in the American West is hindered by the lack of a formal habitat map and monitoring system. To address this shortcoming, we developed a method based on annual metrics of water accessibility and forage availability to map the dynamic rangelands where free‐roaming…

Transplanted sagebrush “wildlings” exhibit higher survival than greenhouse-grown tubelings yet both recruit new plants
Abstract Background Land uses such as crop production, livestock grazing, mining, and urban development have contributed to degradation of drylands worldwide. Loss of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) on disturbed drylands across the western U.S. has prompted massive efforts to re-establish this…

Islands of plant diversity within working landscapes: a strategic intervention for restoring rangeland monocultures
Rangelands across the globe increasingly face anthropogenic disturbances, including improper grazing practices, maladaptive fire regimes, and climate change, leading to the emergence of novel ecosystems. These systems are stable ecological states that cannot feasibly be reverted to previous…

Potential for post‐fire recovery of Greater Sage‐grouse habitat
Abstract In the western United States, fire has become a significant concern in the management of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) ecosystems. This is due to large‐scale increases in cover of the fire‐prone invasive annual cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) and, concurrently, concerns about…
